At Protocol: Building the Social Internet (atproto.com)

I think it would be interesting if the file servers had read/write/list/delete permissions on files. For both groups and users.

It would mean the public stuff could see your files but private projects could exist. Eg. Maybe I don't want my At Protocol version of Figma making all my drawings public. If they could be shared in a group (anyone in a list in that folder or whatever).

Maybe this is coming, but would interest me way more about using applications on the atmosphere.

I didn't understand what this was until I did some more digging around.

Apparently, it's a decentralized way to interact with social media. A protocol created by Bluesky which allows social networks to communicate directly. This is similar to how different email clients like Gmail and Outlook can send messages to each other.

Those of you old enough to remember etherpeg can now see an ATproto version:

I often wonder if people have forgotten that you can send information through the internet without HTTP(S)

Since others starting intercepting and eavesdrop on non-authenticated traffic, it got a lot less comfy to do so though. It's not like people are adding encryption to stuff for the fun of it.

it's not impossible to implement encryption elsewhere, gemini pretty famously requires it

Of course not, the context here is ATProto which literally stands for "Authenticated Transfer Protocol", and it uses other protocols than just http/tls, so of course there are other ways :)

it seems the parent comment isn't referring directly to encryption / TLS, but building everything on top of HTTP / HTTPS, which seems to be the default abstraction these days to build on top of.

I could see this turning into a more modern and sane usenet replacement

This is really cool. It has retro vibes of the era when the Internet was still free from the big five domination.
