I updated my /Uses page to reflect Ultramarine on my laptop and Mullvad as my VPN provider.

A new blog post! In this piece, I talk about why I think, at large, people tend towards corruption.

I've spent a long time (months) thinking about how I'd write this, so I'm happy to finally actually write it.

“Except February, twenty-eight days clear, and twenty-nine in each leap year.” The #IndieWeb Carnival this month has a writing prompt of "Affirmations" and if you'd like to submit please keep those cards and letters coming! Terrific entries so far. https://artlung.com/affirmations-ic/ #Writing #Blogging

:MW: MOULE WORLD Emojis have moved! :MW:

In my self-paced quest to de-Google and be my own platform, I've moved all my custom emojis off Google Drive to my own website, complete with links to download all emojis or specific sets of them!

If you’re in town around SXSW, check out Fediverse House, a 2-day event hosted by Flipboard and Surf. Amazing lineup of folks including Mike McCue, Molly White, Evan Prodromou, and Paul Frazee. I’ll also be giving a short presentation during the developer meetup about Micro.blog and the fediverse.

The premium subscription era is over on Cybercultural. I just refunded the subscribers I had (there weren’t that many), with a note that since I'm publishing all the content for free now on my website, the premium subscription model no longer makes sense.

I've started up a Ko-fi page for small donations: https://ko-fi.com/cybercultural. Over time, I plan to turn that into a proper supporters network — including offering some merch! But that's an entirely new project. #IndieWeb

To Remember or Forget
"Some stuff really ought to be ephemeral, and other stuff ought to be preserved. The act of distinguishing between the two is what curation is all about. It requires reflection, intention, and vulnerability. "

Notes from this event have been formatted on the #IndieWeb wiki - some gems in there - thanks to all who participated! https://indieweb.org/events/2025-02-25-front-end-study-hall

Thanks @Meyerweb & @fractalkitty in particular for helping me understand the uses of both #MathML and #LaTex and #MathJax at yesterday's #IndieWeb Front End Study Hall. I updated https://lab.artlung.com/mathml/ a bit.

Why Personal Websites Matter More Than Ever
"Look what we’re left with—no walled gardens. Just guard towers and searchlights and snarling dogs keeping us at bay."


"Personal websites matter - now, more than ever - because we can see, clearly, with our own eyes, what happens when a handful of companies control and own the medium and the message. "

"I want a world where musicians don't have to tailor their music to the 5-second attention span of a million swiping doomscrollers and can instead rely on the support of an audience who care enough not to sleepwalk their way through the Internet."
