Been working on a blog post idea about how the 'old', real more simple web is still around, usable, fuck the big corpo garbage web, and so on. Been seeing other great pieces on it, gathering ideas, wanna reference them, etc. Wanna collect all of them and say something intelligent about it but wow it's gonna take a while to collect it all and write it up đ But be assured, it's on its way eventually. Hopefully sooner than later. I want it to be almost like a brief, simple roadmap for the real web.

#halfquill update!
Stories are interactive now. You can write new sections, leave comments, and react to what others have written.
Also: you can now skip up to two plots during the daily exercise if one isn't sparking anything.
Would love your feedback: https://tally.so/r/A7x4KW

Linkblog March 26, 2026: On typing
Welcome to my Linkblog where I share interesting articles and blog posts I found about social media, Indieweb, geopolitics, Chinese and Malaysian stuff, cute cat videos or anything funny and interesting I find online.
FYI: I also share links in the âWeekend Talesâ of my Substack newsletter, Tai Tales. The newsletter is geared towards Chinese and Malaysian culture.
PS: I felt it was appropriate for this issue to use AI-generated imagery đ
Nostalgia for word processors
The Digital Dilemma: Why Writers Are Abandoning Modern Word Processing Software
âModern word processors, like most contemporary internet spaces, have become battlegrounds for our attention.â
I long for the days when a word processor was just a blinking green thing on a black screen đĽ˛
Your Word processor is distracting you
Each time I use a web-based word processor, my blood pressure just goes up. These days you never get a peaceful moment when youâre writing on one of those. You get interruptions galore â hey, would you like a tour? Hey! Did you know about this feature? HEY! WE GOT AI NOW
Thatâs why I write with Obsidian these days. So peaceful. No bloody interruptions. I use it to write almost everything. Blog posts, work copy, fiction, newsletters.
Turning Obsidian into the ultimate writing app and
How to Use Obsidian for Writing and Productivity
Speaking of which, this is how you use Obsidian for writing.
Malaysia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfnTcfquDnQ
We Malaysians sure love our malls. Itâs our community centre, place of work ⌠some malls even have condos above it!
Geopolitics
The three reasons why Americans arenât rising up in open revolt
https://youtu.be/A6ptFXzx_JM?si=WâlBf_okNbKLsaM
Itâs kinda depressing this video was released 12 years ago. At what point is âenough is enoughâ? đ
Does AI âThreaten to Undermine Democracyâ or is it already way too Broken?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLPWR4tTT_E
The intersection of tech and politics! I love the channel, Internet of Bugs, and this is such a solid take.

Chatrooms were not meant to last forever.
I am currently in a chatroom which is about 10 years old, with about 40 members, and it is showing clear signs of rot.
Nobody is actively moderating it. A couple of people are trying, but their attention is split, and this room is the lower priority.
When a sufficiently large group is unmoderated, and abuse arises, the victim has no choice but to leave the group to evade the abuser. This means that, in general, unmoderated groups tend to shed their most vulnerable members and retain their most toxic ones.
This is why I am disappointed in every chat platform that does not give an easy way to export your chat history. Because people stay in the room to keep access to their memories, when they should be leaving and letting the chat die. On IRC you didn't even have to request a data export, because everything was logged in plain text already. It's complicated now, and for reasons I do not find satisfying.
This is why people like me refuse to use Discord as a forum, as a wiki, as a knowledge hub. Because knowledge hubs are supposed to last forever. And chatrooms are not.

Wander 0.3.0 is out.
This is the third release of this small, decentralised, self-hosted tool for discovering the smol web.
This release brings fixes for unnecessary horizontal scrolling, some websites failing to load due to <iframe> sandbox restrictions and duplicate page recommendations appearing too close together.
For more details, see: https://codeberg.org/susam/wander/src/branch/main/CHANGES.md#0-3-0-2026-03-25
To try the Wander Console, go to: https://susam.net/wander/

For the next iteration of my blog:
I will make a single feed that will contain all the material I publish: short "toot"-esque posts, articles, recipes, movie reviews, book reviews, etc.
The best part: when you navigate to the standalone page of any of these posts you get fun custom CSS, for example recipes could look like pages from an ancient recipe book, movie reviews could resemble movie tickets and so on..

I've written another #TTRPG article. This one is about a simple mechanic for making your worlds a bit more dynamic; a formalized Tension system, based on a value which goes up and down with the PCs' action, affecting the "tension", or "danger level" in the campaign. It should work equally well for group play and #SoloRPG play.
