I asked Gemini if it was familiar with rss.chat, and it wrote a one page description that's better than anything I've written. Pulls it all together.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
I’m getting back to working on Ghost sync, similar to the WordPress support we added last month. The Ghost API is very different and there were a number of holes I had to fix in my first pass implementation.

Who Will Save the Internet From Disappearing?

An excellent interview!
From deleted government records to disappearing music, our digital culture can be erased overnight. The Internet Archive’s Mark Graham and Chris Freeland explain what it will take to save it.
The new ChatGPT for Mac (Codex) is updated about once a day, and each time I click the update button I expect them to have added a dedicated “Chat” section with a list of previous, searchable chats. But nope! Really hard to explain UI regression.
New York data center pause
Governor Kathy Hochul has paused data center construction. Reporting from WXXI:
The governor’s order follows a bill passed by the State Legislature last month, which also contains a one-year moratorium. Members of the governor’s team say that bill is complicated and will ta...
One thing I look for when listening or reading someone’s commentary, is their opinion the most obvious conclusion from a very surface-level reading of the source material? The obvious is often wrong, otherwise we’d never have anything interesting or surprising happen in the world! Gotta go deeper.
On the latest Pivot, Kara and Scott seem way off on their AI take. OpenAI wouldn’t have leaked the hardware details to Bloomberg this week if the product wasn’t going to be revealed. I just can’t imagine Jony Ive personally hyping a vision for something that we never see.
Feed icon on every post
Click the feed icon to see the user's feed on rss.chat. You can then give this URL to any feed reader.
Now it's easy to find that person's feed on rss.chat.
Now each post is visibly connected to the author's feed.
This is how we're building out. Our job is to write feeds for groups of users as small as one and as big as you can imagine.
We will keep beating the drum, showing users of today's readers how they can hook in, right now, nothing to wait for.
This is how I think every social network should do, start moving out of their silo with determination. By offering this option, we put the idea out there that there can be a single social network on the web. We can work together make it happen.
Please come along on this journey.
There's going to be lots of new tech coming online.
I want everyone to be a part of it.
Server upgrade: We made it easier to set up a new instance of the rss.chat server. If you have subscribed to a feed, you should change the URL in your reader app, the new issue explains what changed.
Watching the news during breakfast… Major flooding in Texas again. Hope everyone’s safe.

Thinking back on yesterday and what was, football aside, a beautiful yet unexpected day. A reminder to embrace uncertainty in life and accept the wonderful things it can sometimes bestow. Maybe there’s nothing more than this.
This ad from Anthropic is so strange. I saw it a couple days ago and rewatched it just now. Starts with a burning house, ends almost hopeful. I can imagine what they were trying to go for, but in this edit it doesn’t land for me.
I couldn’t have predicted any aspect of today, and for that I’m weirdly grateful. Would have been nice to have seen England in a World Cup final, though.

At The Web You Want event in Amsterdam last month, Léonie gave an absolutely fantastic talk. You can now read the whole thing: Accessibility is resistance!
She makes the very good point that generative tools are a necessary accessibility recourse when humans have failed to ...

Codex Micro is a clever little hardware add-on with buttons and knobs. I’m not a clicky keyboard person, so this isn’t for me, especially at $230. Also I’m working at a coffee shop right now and can’t imagine taking this with me anywhere. But I bet they sell a bunch.
Wasn’t expecting this, but I guess it’s obvious now that I see it. Sarah Perez writing at TechCrunch about Apple Intelligence in China:
Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker’s generative AI offering, is coming to China. On Wednesday, Reuters reported that China’s regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, approved Apple’s AI services in the country, on the back of a deal to integrate Alibaba’s Qwen AI model into Apple’s operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS.
If Qwen proves “good enough”, it also reduces Apple’s dependence on Google.
