UBI Proposal
The Universal Dividend Act establishes a monthly per capita payment to every citizen and national of the United States, funded as a fixed and escalating percentage of federal outlays. The payment begins at 10% of the five-year moving average of federal spending, rises by 4 percentage points annually, and caps at 50%. At current spending levels, this produces roughly $190/month per person in year one, growing to approximately $1,700/month at maturity as federal outlays grow over the ten-year ramp. Payments are non-taxable, immune from garnishment, and do not affect eligibility for existing benefit programs.
Update On File Browser
Last year, I wrote a bit on maintaining open source projects. At the time, I was struggling with one of my most (unexpectedly) successful side projects, File Browser. Today, I want to give an update on it, since I never wrote again about it. I'm hoping that this post helps explaining the current status of the project.
greensky: what does permissioned data feel like?
At @habitat.network, we're working hard to launch something at ATmosphereConf. We're building a platform for user data agency: giving users full and transparent control of where their data flows on the internet. Naturally, building a privacy-first platform, we're thinking about permissioned data.
Сторінками Андерсена - про смерть ідентичності та качок
Ви знаєте, що в дійсності казки пишуть для дорослих. І взагалі казки, особливо не народні, а там пізнього періоду, які там писав, наприклад, Шарль Перро чи Андерсен, вони були орієнтовані на соціум, на солони, на якісь серйозні філософські чи соціотеми. І тобто казки — це не просто, і ти це зазвичай усвідомлюєш, коли в тебе з'являються діти, і ти починаєш ці казки читати разом з дітьми.
I discovered Leaflet
And that's thanks to switching from bsky.social to eurosky.social. I, like most people I guess, have missed the impressive growth in different applications running on that same protocol. Leaflet is a longer format publishing tool. Like a mailing list or an RSS feed, or a blog. Or the best of all three. I like the minimalism. It's inviting. I may as well make myself comfortable.

Hello world
Just checking out PCKT blog (Curious to see how this works. Say hi if you read this)
first entry
I really am not good at this stuff and never have been. Anything that requires technical know-how is something that's been slipping from my grasp the older I get. I'm always down to learning how to do things as my knowledge is mostly learned from fucking around on my own or were taught to me decades ago in school. I feel like a caveman most of the time banging my stone club against my scary space-age computer.

Connecting the dots for biodiversity action from the NAS/Royal Society Forum
Summary of the Nine Recommendations and Biodiversity Monitoring Standards Framework papers from the NAS/Royal Society US-UK Forum in summer 2025, and how they connect to my work on collective knowledge systems, TESSERA, and evidence synthesis.
AI agents are having an android camera moment
No one wants to get their pictures clicked with an android camera. They get it, you have the Samsung s8000 or the latest Huawei or Oneplus but the average android photo is worse than an Iphone photo. Iphones are reliable, people think they have better photos.
