I added a theme toggle to my site. It should respect the system settings unless toggled. Otherwise should be respect whatever was last set.
#indieweb #darkmode
I'm glad I figured out variable colors becaues all this took was two line changes for :root colors and the script to toggle it.
Still some alignmenty weirdess on mobile to figure out but it looks pretty neat.

Internet âtollsâ
The addiction to traffic and impressions-based advertising has been an Achillesâ heel of the media establishment. It is hard for them to look at the world through the lens of engagement. The rise of âchat-basedâ informational interfaces is yet another victory for engagement-trumps-all doctrine.Â
Here comes the Internet of âtollsâ â On my Om
For all my liberal sentiment around how I believe the Government has a serious role in ensuring a strong net for the polity, I also have a cut throat capitalist streak. As a result, at the risk of sounding corporatist, I believe that no corporation must exist. Sure things will be different and there can be benevolent corporations. However, capitalism deems that companies live and die by their ability to keep themselves alive.
âIt felt like we were back in the Napster days for the music industry and that maybe we could supply a Spotify-like solution â a recurring revenue model for the publishing industry,â Joslin said.Â
Since then â just 18 months â Tollbit, has become one of the most talked about new ventures in the tech/media startup community. More than 2000 publications now use Tollbitâs system including Time, Newsweek, AdWeek and the Associated Press. That list also includes publications owned by Penske Media, like Rolling Stone; publications owned by Mansueto Ventures, like Inc and Fast Company; publications owned by Lee Enterprises, which includes almost 80 newspapers; and publications owned by Hearst, which include 27 magazines like Elle and 30 newspapers including the San Francisco Chronicle.Â
https://crazystupidtech.com/2025/06/22/why-the-ai-revolution-needs-tollbooths/
Online tolls is such a new business that itâs too soon to predict how meaningful first mover advantage will be. But weâre about to find out how much it matters. Cloudflare, the $60 billion content delivery network and cybersecurity giant, is gearing up to launch its own online tollboth on July 1, according to someone who has seen a draft of the press release.Â
The prospect of a new revenue stream like this is tantalizing for publishers. For those with long tenures in the business it also feels richly deserved. One of the biggest mistakes the industry made 25 years ago was not taking Googleâs rise seriously enough and therefore not demanding more compensation for letting Google crawl their websites when Google was small enough to be pushed around. âPointing this out is often the last thing we tell publishers when we meet with them,âPanigrahi said. â Imagine knowing what you know now about Google back then. This is your opportunity to turn the clock back 25 years.ââ
This paragraph fills me with dread. Googleâs growth, like the webâs (and bitcoinâs) was organic. Engineering incentive alignment has rarely, if ever, worked to meet its design goals. However, as I said, I am ruthlessly capitalistic in these situations and the sad truth is that, in life, there are going to be cases where someone is at an (unfair) disadvantage. In that moment, you can only think about two things â survival and then realistic options. Ideally, they work together to let you play another round of the game.

"text": "Internet \u201ctolls\u201dThe addiction to traffic and\u00a0impressions-based\u00a0advertising has been an\u00a0Achilles\u2019\u00a0heel of the media establishment. It is hard for them to look at the world through the lens of engagement. The rise of \u201cchat-based\u201d\u00a0informational\u00a0interfaces is yet another victory for engagement-trumps-all doctrine.\u00a0\n\nHere comes the Internet of \u201ctolls\u201d \u2013 On my OmFor all my liberal sentiment around how I believe the Government has a serious role in ensuring a strong net for the polity, I also have a cut throat capitalist streak. As a result, at the risk of sounding corporatist, I believe that no corporation must exist. Sure things will be different and there can be benevolent corporations. However, capitalism deems that companies live and die by their ability to keep themselves alive. \u201cIt felt like we were back in the Napster days for the music industry and that maybe we could supply a Spotify-like solution \u2013 a recurring revenue model for the publishing industry,\u201d Joslin said.\u00a0\n\nSince then \u2013 just 18 months \u2013 Tollbit, has become one of the most talked about new ventures in the tech/media startup community. More than 2000 publications now use Tollbit\u2019s system including Time, Newsweek,\u00a0 AdWeek and the Associated Press. That list also includes publications owned by Penske Media, like Rolling Stone; publications owned by Mansueto Ventures, like Inc and Fast Company; publications owned by Lee Enterprises, which includes almost 80 newspapers; and publications owned by Hearst, which include 27 magazines like Elle and 30 newspapers including the San Francisco Chronicle.\u00a0\n\nhttps://crazystupidtech.com/2025/06/22/why-the-ai-revolution-needs-tollbooths/\n\nOnline tolls is such a new business that it\u2019s too soon to predict how meaningful first mover advantage will be. But we\u2019re about to find out how much it matters.\u00a0Cloudflare, the $60 billion content delivery network and cybersecurity giant, is gearing up to launch its own online tollboth on July 1, according to someone who has seen a draft of the press release.\u00a0The prospect of a new revenue stream like this is tantalizing for publishers. For those with long tenures in the business it also feels richly deserved.

I've finally published my new personal website after 3 months of coding! I wanted to make my happy / safe space on the web, where my interests, personality, and queerness could be expressed with no bounds.
I'm extremely proud of it and would love it if you checked it out on: https://dorianbay.neocities.org/

Wie fange ich an?
A few semesters ago, I built this web index together with a friend. It gathers German initiatives for social engagement and includes filter options for various topics, locations and modes of engagement. It's the first website I made :)

The latest release of #PeerTube includes a small but important fix⌠contributed by our team đ ď¸
We had patched it on our own instance first, then sent it upstream right away, just like we aim to do with every project behind our services.
Because using open-source is great.
Contributing back is better.

The Internet is international. The Web is short for World Wide Web. It is perhaps only fitting that this Summer I bring Good Internet issue 1 with me on a mini-european tour...
Let's begin its journey this morning in my hometown of Fribourg, in Switzerland. Other photos will follow in the comments.
