A random list of silly things I hate

«Not sure if this can turn into a blogger's challenge», he said. Well, we can certainly try:

  1. Blogs that don’t have a contact email.
  2. The smell of cauliflowers when they’re cooking.
  3. Drivers who do not respect safety distances.
  4. Loud people in public places.
  5. Loud people in general.
  6. All the bros: crypto-bros, ai-bros, gym-bros.
  7. When you go buy something online, and only your size is sold out.
  8. People with no spatial awareness at the supermarket.
  9. Green shield bugs.

Step aside, phone

I was chatting with Kevin earlier today, and since he’s unhappy with his mindless phone usage, I proposed a challenge to him: for the next 4 weeks, each Sunday, we’re gonna publish screenshots of our screen time usage as well as some reflections and notes on how the week wen...

Adblocking ≠ Piracy

I told Kevin I was going to write this post since we were discussing this topic the other day. This is my half of the argument; maybe he’ll write an “Adblocking = Piracy” post on his site if he finds the time between one meeting and the other. I am not the first person to wr...

Ad Blockers didn’t help kill the open web

In the spirit of the open web, I’m writing this post to disagree with something someone else has posted on their own site. Specifically, a post titled “Ad Blockers helped kill the open web” by Christian Heilmann. I 100% agree with Christian when he writes that: The experie...

A moment with a message from the past

Visited Palmanova plenty of times in my life but never paid attention the writings at the center of main square.

Digital resistance

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...

Sharing is caring

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...

A follow-up on a follow-up

I already wrote a follow up to my previous post but while that was happening Bix wrote something on their site and in there there’s a perfect passage which illustrates way better the point I was attempting to make (not hard to do, considering I am not a great writer) and I’l...

I’m bad at coming up with examples

Yesterday I wrote something. It was, as it often is, the result of reading something I didn’t agree with. If you have read anything on this blog before, you probably know I like to make stupid and extreme examples to illustrate the point I’m trying to make in a specific post...

Moral false dichotomies

One of the things that irks me the most when it comes to human interactions, is seeing people judging other people based on moral false dichotomies: you said you enjoy some piece of creative work, that creative work is related to a creator who might have said or done somethi...

Thoughts On People and Blogs

As I mentioned to the supporters on Ko-fi a week ago, I am currently considering the possibility of pausing the series at the end of this third year, with the last interview going live on August 28th. There are a few reasons for this. The first reason is that running the ser...

Web, Social Networks, Social Web

The other day, a podcast episode caught my attention. It was titled “Can We Build a Better Social Network”, and it was a collaboration between Hard Fork and Search Engine. I thought it was just a discussion about the state of social networks, but then I read the description ...

How You Read My Content

A week ago, after chatting with Kev about his own findings, I created a similar survey (which is still open if you want to answer it) to collect a second set of data because why the heck not. Kev’s data showed that 84.5% of responses picked RSS, Fediverse was second at 7.6%,...

A moment with tea

Learning to appreciate different flavors is something that comes very hard for me. And yet, for some reason, tea is one of those things that no matter how hard it is for my tastebuds, I’ll constantly come back to.

How Do You Read My Content

Recently, Kev posted a survey on his site to figure out how people access his content. Big fan of asking people directly and the results are not at all surprising to me. As I said to him, RSS traffic on my server is VERY high.

But it's fun to get more datapoints so I created a similar survey and I'd really appreciate it if you could take probably 10 seconds to answer it. It's literally 1 question. I'll keep the form live for a week and then publish the results.

Thank you :)

Yearly reminder to use RSS

The year is 2026, and RSS is still, by far, the best way to keep up with sites on the web. If you already know what RSS is but you’re not currently using it, consider this a reminder for you to dust off that RSS reader of yours and put it back to use. And don’t listen to the...

Year 10

What did I read this year

The year is about to end, and it’s unlikely I’ll finish more books, so I think it’s a good time to recap the books I read in 2025. I’m not going to include links to buy these books. There’s no point in doing that because you know better than I do where you like to buy books....

On simple solutions

Every now and again, a post I read on Mastodon weeks ago pops back into my head. It said: We should keep the bigots out and let all the good normal folks in. It does sound simple, doesn’t it? Everything is such a shitshow. Why don’t we simply keep the bad ones out and let ...

Thoughts on MCP
