Nostalgia Project: Retro Bit
So #indieweb.social's new "birdie" look is *infinitely* more pleasant when the shitty font is disabled in favour of my regulay sans-serif.
Still, I never liked the look&feel even when I was still on Twitter...
OTOH, the weird jumpy scrolling behaviour is still there along with weird jumping about in the left (nav) pane. Still disliking it intensely and hoping like hell it doesn't get forced on us.
I helgen träffade jag gamla och nya bekanta på Anarkistiska bokmässan och konspirerade kring ett möjligt Internet.
Jag hävdade högtravande att Internet var en skitstorm. Här försöker jag utveckla så gått jag förmår i en liten blogpost:

What a wild end for Apollo. The era of client APIs for ad-supported platforms is over. Developers should invest their time in open platforms where the business model is aligned with users' and developers' interests: Micro.blog (paid blog hosting) or the fediverse (often donation-supported).
Put your augmented reality headset to one side because I’m about to have a big moan about big tech and social media again. It’ll be fun, honest.
Here's this weeks addition of my linkblog In The Margins:
I wonder if the new workout API that Apple is coming up with will solve some #Indieweb problems of being able to automate exercise recording on our web sites? Some folks were spinning ideas about doing that, though we couldn't actually come up with anything definitive as far as I'm aware.
We need to totally overhaul company's offerings for different products. Way too many features; custom domains stand out to me, but I'm sure there are others, are listed under the "business" offerings for most. What about those geeks who use them for other things aside from a business? I'm one of them, I'm sure most of the #Indieweb community is, too. Not as helpful for nontechnical users, but for once, something does not apply to you.
The latest stats over the last six months from #Bridgely - a tool for #Indieweb sites publishing over to various social platforms.
"The other striking trend is the marked uptick in Mastodon account growth since Elon took over back in November. It’s more than doubled in the last 6 months, from 557 on Nov. 1 to 1125 yesterday! Exodus indeed."

I update the content of my homepage. What do you think?
How much does (or should) your personal site reflect what you do elsewhere? It’s your < 10min update on the #IndieWeb community!

Been playing with the Webmention plugin a bit. Seems you have to register CPTs with explicit `trackbacks` support for them to be able to receive mentions. Also made IndieBlocks’ Facepile block work with them, in an MVP-sort-of way. Think I’m going to just hardcode this bit, rather than make it configurable.
I’d really like to get my cross-posting from Micro.blog to Mastodon straightened out. I’ve posted a few times now, but I’ve been getting the following error. I don’t have issues authenticating any other app so I suspect it’s not the instance, but open to suggestions from anyone. Thanks!
