I think of UR (SN25) as a telco owned by the people: cover entire planet with nodes that can facilitate access to the internet The more global and performant the coverage, the more powerful it can be for everyday users For humans, and for agents

Today, I am very proud to be launching @urnetwork (SN25) with dear friends Brien Colwell and Keith Singery. Three months ago, in Stockholm, Brien and I came together to discuss the necessity of a free and open internet for all, a mission which Brien has singularly dedicated himself to for the last two years. We start our journey today

This comparison sums up why I continue build in this space. Verifiable encryption is the necessary future for all privacy tools - network, communication, participation. @urnetwork ur.io/docs/comparison

Building privacy for legitimate use cases is part of making it normal. In Iran, where total internet “blackouts” are routine and censorship protocols block traditional VPNs, URnetwork has become a lifeline for people. @xcolwell and his team have built decentralized techniques that make private traffic look like normal web traffic, and the result has been a functional network in Iran when everything else has failed. As the @urnetwork team often puts it, privacy shouldn’t be something people do when they’re ‘doing something sketchy.’ Privacy should be normal and inherent in the infrastructure we all use to build freedom. A great case study on what “normalized privacy” actually looks like:

Thrilled to see ur.io finally out in the world. I loved getting to work on this project at @thegp with @xcolwell, who is on a mission to make the internet more inclusive, expressive and free. Feels more relevant than ever.

VPNs slow you down, cost too much, and still make you trust a company with your data. Why settle for that? Meet URnetwork – a private, secure, and fast way to browse, without middlemen, trackers, or restrictions. Why switch? - No middlemen: Connect directly, no companies tracking you. - No data leaks: Your privacy stays yours. - No slowdowns: A faster, more open internet. URnetwork runs on a peer-to-peer network, meaning your connection is powered by people around you—not big tech servers. The internet should work for you, not against you. It’s time for a better way. Try URnetwork today: ur.io Check them out on Product Hunt: producthunt.com/posts/urnetw…

I'm excited to share a new proposal to improve privacy online: privacy.txt This new format aims to standardize the presentation of web privacy policies, making them transparent and machine-readable, much like "robots.txt" for search engines. Louise Van der Peet, Georgios Smaragdakis, Brien Colwell and I put together this proposal to help both consumers and researchers easily understand and act on their privacy rights. Check out the full draft and support our efforts to make the internet a safer space for personal data! Read the draft here: privacytxt.dev/

ChatGPT gives a mostly workable recipe for Kung Pao Chicken. But it forgets the step on how to prepare the meat.

I may have written a song about XCUITest. Yes, it's weird. But I needed some music to accompany our new XCUITest course at HeadSpin University, so I did what I had to do. Anyway, check out this synthy instrumental vibe! soundcloud.com/jlipps/xcuite…
