New #blog post

「Big tech doesn’t care about people; LLM industry actively seeks harm. We’re seeing it time after time again. They consider the open web to be a resource that exists only for them to harvest.」

The fediverse feels hackable. Like the old days.

The other day I discovered the #IndieWeb and https://fed.brid.gy/. And that it's blocked in my instance. I got into reading the standards battles between #Bluesky and #Mastodon. It feels just like the old days, except hopefully we've learned a thing or two.

But, like for your habits, I know that hackability & tech experimentalism probably makes it more inaccessible to many. And that's sad.

hallo allemaal, i'm back

i'm alex(ander), used to be on demae under a different nickname.

i am the admin here. demae is my mini instance for friends. i will not be taking new users unless they are that: close friends.

i usually make art, and tinker with obsolete computers making them usable in the modern age. i'm actually still using windows XP on a daily basis! (i accepted all potential consequences, do not repeat those to me.)

i'm a gay trans guy. like, binary. don't refer to me specifically as "transmasc". if you are one of them people who think transmisandry isn't real please delete your account. also do not flirt with me if you're not masc or a man.

i try my best to learn dutch. with mixed results, but legends say some people understand me.

this is my more private account. you are free to interact but just so you know, unlike on tech.lgbt, there will be no janitor that will take your side to ban me. know what you are signing up for!

i currently am hyperfixated on the netherlands AND history of graphic tablets

you are free to send me a follow request only if:
- you DM me with your intentions (subjected to further vibechecking)
- you already follow my main or I know you off-fedi

tags with interests and potential target groups ahaahahaa: #art #digitalArt #introduction #languages #netherlands #nederland #games #videoGames #nintendo #retrocomputing #webdev #indieWeb #webmaster #queer #gay #transmasc #FTM #LGBTQ

Help me decide on what to build next!

- A calm content consumption app
- A site-monitoring app
- A daily companion app

My website and my blog is very dear to me and I want to make sure that I can keep it up, running and updated even if any particular service goes down.

I did a self-sustenance checkup to my website, workflow and external dependencies to see how I'm doing and it gave me a lot of peace of mind.

I use some third party services (like Notion as headless CMS) but everything is built in a way that if there's no slowing me down if something fails.

Do you know of any good alternatives to #Obsidian Publish for people using 11ty (or any #SSG to be fair).

I'm looking for anything that can spit out JSON or a list of markdown notes with correct links.

Since I started following #indieweb hashtag has appeared posts or recommendations from interesting blogs.

I would like to suggest to enthusiasts to put hashtags #indieweb and also #smallweb in the dissemination toots of their blogs / websites.

I believe this is a very organic form to find content that pleases us.

Don't you know what indieweb is? Check it out:

- https://indieweb.org/ (in English)

- And Antonio's Blog https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&hl=pt-BR&u=https://antonioaugusto.net/&client=webapp

PS: Aiming at a more "universal" and "wide" communication, I even thought of making a second blog, with the same posts in English (Portuguese it's my native language).

That's when I remembered that Google Translator works very well at the current stage.

It is possible to put the site URL and generate another one that already carries it translated. It's big tech, but it's for a good cause (if you know of Open Source alternatives, let me know)

Desde que comecei a seguir a hashtag #IndieWeb tem aparecido posts ou recomendações de blogs interessantes. Todavia, quase sempre de língua inglesa (o que não é problema algum).

Gostaria de sugerir aos entusiastas deste formato a colocar hashtags #IndieWeb e também #SmallWeb nos toots de divulgação de seus blogs / sites.

Acredito que essa seja uma forma bem orgânica e precisa de "esbarrar" em conteúdo que nos agrada.

Não sabe o que é IndieWeb? Eu também não, hahaha. Mas você pode compreender melhor nestes sites:

- https://indieweb.org/ (em inglês)
- https://antonioaugusto.net/ (em português)

PS: visando uma comunicação mais "universal" e abrangente, até pensei em fazer um segundo blog, com os mesmos posts em inglês.

Foi aí que me lembrei que o Google Translator funciona muito bem no estágio atual. Nele, é possível colocar a url do site e gerar outra que já o carrega traduzido. É big tech, mas é por uma boa causa (se souberem de alternativas open source, me avisem)

A new review on Brain Rots!

「Let’s get this right of the bat: Dead Man’s Letters is a masterpiece; one of the greatest movies I’ve ever witnessed.」

When a company withholds a feature from the EU because of the DMA — Apple for AI, Meta today for the fediverse — they should document which sections of the DMA would potentially be violated. Let users fact-check whether there’s a real problem.
