I have been watching the Interledger Summit 2022 session recordings incrementally over the last few weeks.
Unexpected delightful surprise was @todd presenting how @purism (the privacy-centric open source laptop and smart phone) stubbed out an entire two-sided app store marketplace based on Interledger and its related in-progress projects.
2023 is going to be breakout year for open payments.

There's a housing crisis in many cities. But cars can park free. Why not claim public street-space for those who need it? If you disguise your shelter as a polluting, duly-licensed private vehicle, like artist Michael Rakowitz did...
...the authorities should be fine with it.

If a website owner has no presence in the US, does someone from Louisiana have the ability to sue a company for not complying with its ridiculous law?

@kkomaitis With any other Supreme Court in the last 30 years, I would look forward to this being aggressively overturned as a violation of the First Amendment. But Trump's court is only selectively originalist.
If Meta allows Trump back on its platform, it will be time to do to Instagram what we did to Twitter: move it to the fediverse. โ

@ScottHelme @troyhunt @jaffathecake Ah, I do not. Thanks for the tip.
But I do hope browsers do a better job *not* reporting user environment violations of CSP in the future.
