Looked at Threads for the first time in months. I haven’t missed it. I’m glad we have automatic cross-posting to Threads from Micro.blog, but I don’t personally need it and I rarely hear from people who use it. Maybe it works perfectly, or maybe other folks have lost interest in Threads too.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.

The good old days of online communities
Steve Klabnik blogs about how AI views online have become extreme and frustrating to read:
What is breaking my brain a little bit is that all of the discussion online around AI is so incredibly polarized. This isn’t a “the middle is always right” sort of thing either, to be clear. It’s more that both the pro-AI and anti-AI sides are loudly proclaiming things that are pretty trivially verifiable as not true.
I’ve been following the news of late, and it is particularly depressing. Professionally, one of the things I hate the most is that philosophy of tearing everything down and then figuring out how to rebuild it, instead of coming up with a thoughtful and well researched plan and then slowly and deliberately implementing it. Not even getting into their views on why or what should replace it, the current US administration seems to want to tear everything down instead of coming up with a plan and then carefully executing.
My interview with Kagi founder Vladimir Prelovac is now up! You can listen on the web or subscribe to Timetable wherever you get your podcasts.

Design
When I think about designing my site, I ask myself: what do I want to explore? What themes are on my mind? What values do I want to bring into the design? How can I express those values with colour and imagery and layout? With every new page I design, I learn something new – ...
The joy of making things
Recently I realised that I have coded things that I use every day. I use my web reader every day to follow along with blogs. I am increasingly using my edit button extension to edit web pages on sites I maintain. I use my website every day.
In the middle of making something,...
Bookmarks
I love finding new links to read. I especially love exploring lists of links. But I struggle to publish lists of links myself. When I’m exploring the web, I get immersed in reading and taking notes and navigating between websites. Publishing link lists is a discrete step.
I...

this shit is hard. when it's done it looks simple. but these piece must fit together.

Revisiting LLMs for Code Development
hacdias.com/2025/05/29/revisiting-llms-for-code-development/
In many ways I’m a terrible sys admin. For the last couple years I’ve been dealing with ballooning memory usage in Redis, confused, and only now have finally taken some time to understand it. I’ve been running a cleanup script for the last week that has trimmed memory from 45 GB to 16 GB. Whew!
More Dia doubt
Manu Moreale has some thoughts and skepticism about how AI and web browsers are going to mix:
We all yelled and screamed because the web has too many gatekeepers, we all lamented Google search results going to shit, and we all celebrated when new search engines were coming ...

On Browsers, AI, and the web
Almost exactly one year ago I wrote a follow-up post to comment on the newly—at the time—released website by the folks over at The Browser Company, a name I still find incredibly hilarious. It was all about their Arc browser, their big ambitions, and how they were going to I...
BTW, just for fun, a search for Ole and Lena jokes. 😄
UBI
In an interview with Axios today, Dario Amodei warns about the jobs that will be lost because of AI:
Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop “sugar-coating” what’s coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and oth...
