      <itunes:summary>Galen Wolfe-Pauly, CEO and co-founder of Tlon, pops into the Buntzcast for a deep dive into the promise of a decentralized internet. Tlon Inc. is developing the Urbit computing platform, which tries to move away from the internet&apos;s current state of sclerotic capture, in which tech giants use the centralized internet to their advantage, owning and selling your data and relentlessly seeking to devour your attention. Galen discusses how Tlon lets users own their own servers and maintain control over their data. We talk about finding beauty in software, how Tlon is like a Japanese homeware store, whether Tlon is really &quot;neo-feudalism,&quot; and how we&apos;ve been discovering new music and books online. We also touch on the origin of the name &quot;Tlon&quot; in the work of the great Argentinian writer, Jorge Luis Borges. If you&apos;re interested in signing up for Tlon and accessing a new  &quot;tool of conviviality,&quot; the messaging app Tlon Messenger, you can copy and paste this link: tlon.io/buntz (there is an active link in the episode notes as well). </itunes:summary>
