“So what you’re doing is actually more valuable than what I do: you’re doing the things only humans are good at.”

Yeah, that’s called “actual intelligence”. 😉

The first reply to my newsletter issue on AI flooding the web and the value of human curation is … by a Chinese LLM. 😂✌️Well played …

Great to see that @btconf is almost sold out! 🎉🖤

Again: Who’s going to be there, too? Hands up! 🤚

In 2018, David and Chris recorded a podcast episode about the indie web in which the topic “living the indie web life” came up. As soon as I heard the phrase, I thought to myself: what does living the indie web life mean to me? This evening I hosted an online Homebrew Websit...

I wasn’t quite satisfied with it yet … so I’ll send out the issue a bit later. Which means there is still more time to sign up! 🎉😜

The agents (of non-enterprise customers) were burning too much money: GitHub tightens usage limits, removes Opus from the Pro plan, and pauses new sign-ups for Copilot individual plans.

The kitchen was scattered with rainbows as the sun shone through the frosted glass. Maybe the glass was put there to make rainbows; what was the architect thinking when they designed this place? I saw the shadows of my head and my hair cast onto the cabinets. Can I make a sha...

It’s been a while… but how about a new #OwnYourWeb newsletter issue, going out tomorrow? 😊

Part of the motivation behind some of my top-level pages like my ideas lists is that I feel some things should have a URL. Giving something a URL gives it a place on the web. One area where I feel this could be applied more is in newsletters. I wish email newsletters had corr...

I think I watch the two trees outside that blossom beautifully in spring with such attention because they are so close. Those trees are with me when I say “cheers” every morning before I drink a glass of orange juice; they are there when I look out to watch the sun set, and w...

Even Claude says this is bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe you should have asked your country of geniuses in a vending machine before deploying this… 😉

Can confirm this for Arc, Brave, Edge, Chromium, and Vivaldi on my machine:

Over on Bear Blog, Thereabouts posted “The greatest breakfast food in existence”. When I read the title, my face lit up. “A blog post about breakfast food!” It got me thinking about what breakfast brings me the most joy. I think the answer is waffles and coffee. This time ar...

Last week someone who uses Artemis suggested that it would be nice to be able to use the software with a custom subdomain on their website. This feature suggestion got me thinking about the “own your links” concept in the IndieWeb. While the current version of the “own your l...

Behind the counter in a coffee shop I visited last week there was a whiteboard which read [1]: Sunday debate: Custard creams or chocolate bourbons There were dozens of tally marks on the board and counts from a social media poll. The results were: Custard creams: 212Bourbons: 171 I love both biscuits, so if there were a both option I would have voted as such; if I had to pick one, it would be custard creams, though. Otherwise, I might have said fig rolls, a biscuit I had for the first time in ages this week. Fig rolls may not have been an option, but they sure are tasty. [1]: Given I saw the whiteboard on a week day, I assume the debate was going to run for a week, despite the title being "Sunday debate". In any case, any day is a good day to chat about biscuits.
