I got tired of ugly battery apps that feel like system utilities from 2012.

Mac 4 Breakfast is the charging screen I actually want to look at — clear energy read, calm UI, a little delight when you plug in.

Small Mac app. Daily thing. Built for how I use the laptop, not a settings dump.

(Reading through the explanations on why Echofeed is being shut down, I feel the painful technical part of it more and more and I'm kind of sad there wasn't a chance to provide more help to still sort of keep that running. But I am also left wondering whether this is sort of a watershed moment of learning that this POSSE approach often proposed by the IndieWeb crowd actually just works in a very limited DYIish content for people who are able to handle that on their very own within their very own small scale with handcrafted solutions - which excludes everyone not really able of doing so at all. And it makes me wonder whether, ultimately, the idea proposed by ATProto - keep all your data in one single repository and available, visible to multiple different applications catering to different needs - might generally be smarter than having to copy data all around the 'net dozens and dozens of times.) #digital_technologies #indieweb #atproto #sustainability

I built a quiet, algorithm-free digital sanctuary for asynchronous reflection and heavy thoughts.

No accounts, no trackers, no ads. Just a slow space to write.

I love this idea, that hashtags can be directories and Web rings, but this website seems excessively broken. RSS feeds did not work for me, I couldn’t locate any topics to follow, such as audiobooks and or books, and they’re just little tiny accessibility things that really annoyed the heck out of me . Fantastic idea! Would love to see someone take this idea and do it better. API Explorer - Octothorpes Protocol https://octothorp.es/about #Octothorpes #Directory #IndieWeb

I’m clearing out the backlog of “Oh, I didn't post that?” (there maybe, make that IS, a lot of it).

A good article on the issues surrounding "Bubbles," the indieweb feed aggregator. Also very flattered to see one of my articles mentioned here.

…competitive framing encourages a mindset of judgment and anxiety, and the most upvoted posts have tended disproportionately toward metablogging and technology…

So true. Everyone knows that the upvote / downvote model is just a popular opinion contest. It's not healthy for people to have their work subjected to, and important, relevant, and insightful points inevitably get buried in obscurity by a deluge of downvotes from people who don't have the requisite knowledge to even begin to reason about them.

It's also a little depressing to see the visits on my website hit the roof whenever I write about GNU/Linux or Eleventy, only to disappear when I write about life, music, or fragrance. I like reading and writing about techy stuff, but it would be amazing to see a little balance in fediverse and indieweb spaces.

I have started writing the expected outcome before asking Claude or Codex for help.

Not:

“Help me build this.”

Instead:

“By the end, I need a working script that does X, verified by Y, saved at Z.”

The quality of the answer improves immediately.

Most prompting problems are actually definition-of-done problems.

So, fun fact, if you

* Run #Wordpress

* Use the #ActivityPub plugin and your SITE gets federated

* Have your cache plugin refresh the cache with every page update <-- this is the setting to change

* And enable #webmentions

* And get someone with a wide range of followers boosting a post directly from the site to the fediverse (lol thanks @mwl )

You are going to spawn a LOT more php processes than you think you will and may run out of memory. Adjust your settings appropriately.

Finally found time to update my #beloveduniverse website! Going more decentralized: you can now log in with #IndieAuth. You ca register with your own site, or sign in with a URL right from the main page and link to a pre-existing account. Plus, Maid Adventures is now federated! Major in-game events get shared to the fediverse via #ActivityPub. Example @luckyfoot. Each estate gets their own. You can also follow on bluesky @maidadventures.bsky.social #fediverse

Damn this looks sick.

Probably I'll have only one theme, or maybe more themes not controled by time of day.

What happens to our blogs when we die?

Does anyone want to read my dumb blog after I'm dead? Hell if I know, but I want to give my family the opportunity.
