Hey Fedi people, do you use IRC? What server(s) and channels do you connect to? What clients do you use?
No good reason, I'm just curious.

āHow to use RPG Games to figure out what to do with your lifeā by Akash Bhat
«Social media and movies have convinced us that we can be anything. Do everything. Pivot constantly. Reinvent ourselves every six months.»
continuing reef today: prompt an AI agent to shape markdown into a personal site. i've been building web apps my whole life, but this is completely different: local-first, programmable, git-backed, WordPress for publishing #indieweb

Itās so frustrating that AI is both destroying the open web by drowning it in slop and burying it in scrapers while itās also a powerful tool for folks who want to launch their own blog or website. By making the technical challenges tractable, AI makes the indieweb more accessible than ever, and used properly can enable human communication and connection instead of destroying it. But that doesnāt feed the capitalist machine. #ai #indieweb (https://b-ark.ca/CEIqOM)

People from my #coop don't appreciate my hand-crafted no-framwork, handwritten HTML+CSS+js. They say it looks unprofessional. They are 100% non-tech normies.
#webdev what do I do? They want to take an AI shortcut. It's not an option for me.
Is there a way to make something "look professional"? I don't even know what it means. I don't think they know either.
So far, we've gotten 21 wonderful entries to this month's IndieWeb Carnival but there's still time until the end of the week!
I'm encouraging you to write a love letter for something you hold dear, are passionate about or want to share with the world.
I ask you to unapologetically geek out about something. Add your drop of positivity into the world that is dominated by so much pain and negative stories right now.
