In that moment just after recording a podcast where I’m second guessing everything I said. I have a lot of respect for people who stop and form their thoughts before answering a question. I tend to just wing it, so sometimes words tumble out in the wrong order. 🙂
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.

Etha-Editing
At #IndieWeb HWC yesterday we ran VS Code w/”Live Share” plugin. In a few minutes 5 of us wrote a web page. Surveillance tech is an enshittified anti-labour mess but tools—the means of production—to pamphleteer and agitate and samizdat and protest are in our hands. Websites.

Are Mac developers actually adopting the menu item icons in macOS 26? I’m torn… I think this design change was unnecessary and adds clutter. But also, it feels incomplete if I don’t add my own icons.
Designing a new button to visually show and hide alt text
In Developing an alt text button for images on my website, I wrote about how I made a button for visibly showing and hiding alt text on my website. I enjoy reading alt text. Alt text is great.
My implementation method used a combination of a HTML checkbox and the CSS :has se...
It's really simple
Reminder: Sept 18, one week from today, is the 3rd anniversary of the 20th anniversary of the release of RSS 2.0. I often forget to mark that day. It's not an event that's marked by others very often, but in my humble opinion, it deserves more respect than it gets.

Realizing that we never officially documented the new support for passkeys, so a lot of people missed it. Just added a new help page with the basics.

Collaborative web weaving
At this week’s Homebrew Website Club, I was introduced to the Live Share extension developed by Microsoft for Visual Studio Code. The extension lets you start a collaborative editing session to which you can invite others.

On WP Product Talk
I had a great chat with Matt Cromwell and Zack Katz on WP Product Talk today, mostly about the intersection of AI and WordPress, give it a watch!
Finally investigating why SMS stopped working. Now that we have Passkeys in Micro.blog, I think I’m going to scrap SMS as an option, and clear all the phone number data we have for users. It clearly wasn’t used much anyway.

30 collaborative things you can do on the web
In 100 things you can do on your personal website, I shared ideas for what you can do with your website. Most of them were ideas that can be worked on yourself. With that said, I find myself increasingly delighted by the collaborative spirit of the web.

I know a $200 difference isn’t nothing, but if you’re already $800 in for the iPhone 17, I think almost everyone should spring for the iPhone Air. 12 GB of RAM instead of 8 GB. That is going to start mattering with on-device AI models. Having said that, I’m keeping last year’s phone for a while.

On em dashes
Stumbled on this post a moment ago—on a lovely colourful blog, I might add—and I have thoughts on the subject:
I'm low-key mad about this! So we just can't use em dashes anymore? We let the machines take them from us?? And we didn't even put up a fight or anything???
