I waited a while but here is my submission to this month's IndieWeb Carnival: Digital Relationships. The machine I am writing this on has been with me through a lot so I wrote A Love Letter to my Laptop.

Small dents in the IndieWeb

Good summary blog post on some of the IndieWeb-related improvements @paulrobertlloyd has made recently. The updated design of the IndieWeb wiki pages is a nice improvement. Paul and others will be gathering in Brighton for IndieWebCamp… I’ll try to join remotely too if the time zones work out.

Can anyone recommend IRC channels for the SmallWeb and such? You guys idling somewhere?

The shutdowns and layoffs at Vice, Messenger and BuzzFeed are prompting reflection on traditional publishing models and the tradeoffs of corporate ownership of creative output.

“If you’re a creative person, one of the most important actions you can take, full stop, is to take some ownership over your work.”

And:

“It’s not hard to imagine a world where people write or create cool things, those things get syndicated by larger media outlets who monetize them, and everyone shares equally in its success—rather than what we have now, where your creativity is locked down in corporate shackles until they’re done with you.”

Make a website, blog, or portfolio using nothing but Apple Notes. No more excuses to not have a blog or a website. Montaigne turns your Apple Notes into a website. Or you can just share few notes with your friends or colleagues.

Like, how can Reddit sell our data for $60 million, but we as indie writers and creators have to accept that our work will be stolen because it's posted on the "open web".

Which, by the way, my work is published on my private blog. I pay rent and everything. There's nothing public or open about it, other than as an excuse for corps and scrapers to steal my shit.

Honest question— Reddit just signed a multimillion dollar deal with OpenAI to train on our data. Reddit's content license allowed them to negotiate this deal.

So where's the license for personal blogs to protect our writing? And why aren't any open web advocates vigorously pointing to such a license?

We can't have an independent web if we don't independently own how our published work is used.

Decided I want to fully embrace #indieweb so am pratting about with Jekyll and GitHub for my personal site.

@hamishcampbell the #indieweb does feel a bit like #gardening; it's a permanent work in progress, and you need to dedicate time and love to your plot. Definitely do not bring too many specimens (code) on board, or you won't be able to maintain it all.

Interesting low code blogging platform. Converts your Apple Notes into a website. Cool!
