I've been trying to avoid using social media for entertainment, and to only use it to interact with people. This has left some gaps in my day, and I've been rediscovering reading fiction in my search for more hobbies.

I was reminded by the OnThisDay feature that I used many X4 screenshots and recordings as background for presentations and video conferences during the self isolation times of the first Covid waves. The media was recorded in-game before, of course.

I also wish I’d had recorded that IndieWeb presentation alas I did not ☹

@ambrwlsn thank you for checking it out! I'll keep this one in mind if I decide to go the #webmentions route.

During a dust-up between and among a few different #IndieWeb services recently, someone who quit one of them wrote a blog post where they tell on themselves:

> I’m not interested in social media as a social justice vehicle.

My man, *everything should be a social justice vehicle*.

Good riddance.

I'm not sure Google's AI is that into the #indieweb.

Front End Study Hall is Tuesday at noon California time tomorrow. All are welcome from around the world. 90 minutes dense with ideas and learning #HTML and #CSS - an #IndieWeb event.

Curious? @ me.

Reminder that I write about a lot of stuff, blindness, life stuff, my author news. I never stick to 1 topic so if you wanna follow, my RSS feed is https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #RSS #Blog #IndieWeb

New blog-post up where I break down the algorithm that you may have seen me using recently for generating watercolor-like effects. If you are interested in how its done and some of the maths behind it, then I do my best to break it all down with interactive examples.

Looking for feedback on the current state of the OWTS-01 #specification (Guidelines for Open Web Technologies) as well as the certification process and tiers.

We (the #fediverse, #indieweb, etc) should build a "everything you need to know" #wiki.

Like a federated multimedia/e-learning Wikipedia with lessons and resources for the topics of day-to-day life we might take for granted, but which are obstacles for the newcomer.

"How do I navigate the transit system in Fredericton, New Brunswick?" or

"How to shave?" or

"How to do income taxes/get ID/vote/find non-profits in [insert territory]?"

- Simple but complete video lesson(s) provided via #peertube including all accessibility features
- Links to actual helpful things
- Book recommendations via #bookwyrm

Imagine the #gopher networks between academia and enthusiasts, but in 2024 and via #ActivityPub.

For devs/contributors, AP items would be treated as first-class citizens.

Towards a homemade web (roundup)

I'm trying a new format, which is sharing 3-5 links (with context) on one given topic. I'm starting with what I believe to be the easiest one, since I already have a giant collection about it: moving towards a homemade web.

This is inspired by Tracy Durnell's Β« article pairings Β».

The Internet isn't meant to be so small is a good explanation o
