The only way to use AI as a writing tool is if you have a bigger ego than the robot.
I wrote a blogpost about it

There are many good use cases for AI-based solutions.
One use case I find deceivingly dangerous but often discussed is using it in your notes system to automate creation or extraction of notes.
For this month's IndieWeb Carnival, I wrote about why the friction created by writing and reading your notes - also known as thinking - is such an important part that shouldn't be automated.
Thanks @vhbelvadi for hosting this month!

We’re halfway through January and there have been some excellent submissions to the #IndieWeb carnival.
Have you written yet? Do you have a personal website/blog (or are you looking to start one this year)? Do you enjoy writing, and perhaps thinking about interesting things?
The theme this month is ‘on the importance of friction’ and has broad interpretations, so let your ideas run wild.
Here are all the details you’ll need: https://vhbelvadi.com/indieweb-carnival-friction

I finally managed to fix images' links in my personal website RSS feed, in #astro
It wasn't trivial at all! And I have to thank Billy and his post here:
https://billyle.dev/posts/adding-rss-feed-content-and-fixing-markdown-image-paths-in-astro
Still not super happy because I need to find a way to include multiple collections to this set up, which I can't make it work right now...
Also ditched many bad practices like using <br> in md files.
Still need to find a way to deal with <figcaption>.
But for now my #RSS feed looks fine!

Do I brag too much or not enough? It occurred to me that Micro.blog might be on the only platform of its kind that has built-in support for exporting content in several different file formats. And multiple APIs to get your data out? JSON, XML-RPC, Micropub. Our commitment to portability is absolute.

The web is siting!
We now have a cute little table-of-contents going which also conveniently tracks along with where you are on the page.
It's surprisingly painless to do this with just raw Javascript and a bit of care - the JS engines now have all the tools for it :D
And it's snappy, too! ((IntersectionObserver helps a LOT there))

Bit by little wiggly bit, I'm getting #IndieWeb components back on the site. POSSE links are the easiest, though I did have to finish scrubbing out a few Twitter and Facebook links.
