People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
I talked with a friend who makes a feed reader app, suggesting how to hook up to a linkblogging tool. Thought I would share the instructions to everyone. I'd love to see more people using software to do linkblogs, rather than do them by hand. Then we could build systems for distributing them. This is how we create markets, by getting more people automating their work, and thus we are able to connect components together. So if you make a feed reader, how about hooking up with linkblogging tools?
Wondering if I use AI-assisted coding differently than a lot of developers. I don’t chat with AI forever to come up with a perfect plan and then have it execute it. I use AI the same way I would code traditionally, iterating quickly with dozens of quick changes. Still feels like programming.
I’m testing GPT-5.4 via the API. The pricing is interesting. 5.4-mini and 5.4-nano are about 3x as expensive, but they are apparently much better, so I switched one call from 5-mini to 5.4-nano.
Meanwhile for coding I use 5.4 high with /fast and can’t burn through tokens fast enough. Really good.

Marco Arment posted to Reddit with details on the first Overcast beta that includes transcripts. Very nicely done. The transcripts UI feels cleaner and less finicky than Apple Podcasts.

Small update to the source namespace. source:localTime is a channel-level element. It was incorrectly stated that it is item-level.
I have a hard and fast rule about phone calls that solicit private information. I hang up. The worst are insurance companies. They expect you to enter all kinds of confidential info on a phone from a number that doesn't even verify as belonging to the company. Caller ID has nothing to say about them. Yet at least some of these are legit and unless you do what they want, you don't get your meds.
These assholes https://www.openui.com/ did not do any due diligence before choosing a name.
The only Open UI that counts is https://open-ui.org/
I mean, I would ask for the country first (because not all countries have zip/postal codes), but the point stands…

A lovely post from Remy about State Of The Browser and Web Day Out.

Related to Matt’s thoughts:
…working with agents feels much less like classic deep work, and much more like playing a game. Not to say the work is frivolous—it’s just because it feels like I’m in a game loop.
Flow, at least in the usual sense for me, feels smooth and continuous. The work and your attention starts to line up so cleanly that the experience becomes frictionless. You disappear into the work and meld with it. One notable aspect of flow has been I lose track of time. Working with agents on the other hand, is not like that at all. It’s highly engaging, but in a more jagged, reactive way. I’m focused, but not settled. I’m absorbed, but not merged with the task. I’m paying close attention the whole time, but the attention is dynamic and tactical rather than continuous. I don’t lose track of time at all.
Most of your screen time isn’t leisure. It isn’t addiction. It isn’t even a choice.
It’s maintenance.
That’s a lot of green Ws. Spurs have won their last 18 of 20 games. 🏀
Really cool set of upcoming Micro.blog plug-ins from @rscottjones for putting different kinds of travel maps on your blog. I bet this’ll work great for my attempt to visit all Texas state parks.

It's one of the most popular news sites in the country, and it's wildly profitable. It might be the right time for Yahoo to bounce back.
