An idea I read in this blog post is one I hadn't considered, is super important. AI is going to be part of programming forever. There's no way to go back. This has made StackExchange obsolete, because it basically aggregates everything that was there, and it was worth it beca...

DNS fix: pagepark.scripting.com now redirects to the GitHub repo for PagePark. Somehow I lost the pagepark.io domain, but I don't really want it, so it's kind of ok. But there are some broken links. I recall there was a nice site with menus and stuff that was built from the GitHub repo but archive.org isn't able to find it for some reason. Moral of the story, don't buy so many domain names thinking you're really clever. But of course I still do. Someday they'll all be gone, of course. Will they have a ceremony for the last domain to be turned off, kind of like the last Blockbuster was. Does anyone remember Blockbuster.

One of the blogs I’ve been paying closer attention to over the past few weeks is patrickrhone.net since he’s doing a great job in commenting and sharing both the awful things that are happening in Minnesota, where he’s based, but also some of the positives that are coming ou...

Toby Ziegler: "They'll like us when we win."

Interesting thread between Jake and Ted Howard about Frontier.

Jenny Lawson blogging about how easy it is for us to lose our cool right now:

We are not meant to be able to handle this level of constant stress that comes from seeing people being brutalized and hurt. The fury boils over into so many places because it often has nowhere else to go.

Also if you’re ever in San Antonio, Jenny has a wonderful bookstore there called Nowhere Bookshop.

Kristen Radtke writes at The Verge about her childhood friend Alex Pretti:

There is something destabilizing about having known someone only as a child and then hearing they were gunned down in the street. The person you see in your mind lying in that street is still a child. I’m sure his mother feels that way, too, or she sees him at every age all at once, including those he did not live to see.

Heartbreaking. The world is smaller and more connected than we sometimes realize… Everyone is someone’s friend, son, daughter.

NetNewsWire 7 is out with a UI update for Liquid Glass. Don’t worry, it fits well on macOS 26 without going too far with the design. All the menu icons are also hidden, which I like.

I was looking at some of the first posts in in 1998 in discuss.userland.com and came across this post that talked about my decision to stop doing the Mail Pages, now that we had the discussion group.

Even though he again misrepresented the point I made in a previous post and he also attributed me things I never said, I'm still going to share this post by Baldur Bjarnason, because he touches on many important topics worth thinking and talking about, especially at this spe...

"The data are clear: The open-source culture that defined an earlier era of online journalism has collapsed."

A lot of online discourse is us vs them. If you find yourself doing that, that's a sure sign that you're not working on the web.

If you make a product for discourse, yet your own product can't be used for discourse because of some major limit, then you have a feature to add, and get busy. No product does everything everyone wants, but when there's a consensus among users, then you have something worth doing.

Growing the Open Social Web, an un-workshop from the FediForum folks with a new format:

Prior to the un-workshop, we invite participants to submit a short post or position paper that summarizes their own perspectives on the subject. […] In advance of the event, we distribute a (lightly curated) set of these position papers to other participants of the un-workshop for preparation.

I like this. I’m traveling that day so might miss it, but maybe some Micro.blog people would like to participate.

Bethany blogging about a GoFundMe in Minneapolis:

Many people have not been able to work for the past month or more, either because they are personally afraid to leave their homes, or their workplaces have closed (out of caution or because too many employees have been taken to continue operating), or because a wage-earner in their household has been taken. If you’re looking for a very specific, focused place to give, please consider this GoFundMe which is to give rent relief to some of these families in the Twin Cities, primarily South Minneapolis.

There’s a new meta tag on the block. This time it’s for allowing system-level text sizing to apply to your website.

I’ve been working on a few blog post drafts that I can’t seem to finish. Sometimes editing makes a post better and sometimes worse. This is part of the appeal of microblogging… Less chance of overthinking simple ideas.

Laura’s classic book is now a web book that you can read for free online.

Another good Jimmy Kimmel show last night. It says something about the time we are living in when a comedy monologue does not even attempt to be funny for like 10 minutes.

Jim Ray responded to my Saturday post about AT Proto. Thanks for that, most of the time I write about this stuff people involved don't respond. I think that's because I'm not actually missing anything -- and I would rather continue to develop on RSS because it's not a silo, ...
