My final announcement about independent publishing and the future of the internet. The full text is exclusively available on the website.

An important personal announcement regarding independent publishing, ethics, AI and my future.

Somebody took my proprietary CSS and made a website with it. I investigated. His name is Karl and he lives at:

https://householderkarl.com/

It's the best-looking website on the Bear Blog platform. No old junk, posts are short and everything is arranged with an almost offensive amount of taste. It turns out the CSS works exactly as advertised.

This raises serious questions about intellectual property, artistic integrity, and why nobody is paying me.

Free clown again.

This is how it starts. First they steal the CSS. Then they steal the website.

I have decided not to press charges.

On Unstory: Nihilism, Smallweb Discourse, & the Value of Expression

Sadly, the "Author" noticed me by email. For mind's sake! First, I read this 3,000-word article, then I wrote a 1,000-word email reply to it.

The Earth is still rotating.

Going black and white.
Just need a new iPhone to properly document this bullshit. Sponsors, do your fucking thing.

Could be written just on toilet paper.

This whole circus at unstory.eu has been running for over three months. I had a website before. Maybe five people read it. This shit is read by maybe 500. It changes nothing. There is nothing to sell here. No service, no product, no subscription, no ideology, no data, no au...

Religion is the perfect psychological parasite. Organized terror management. The human animal realized it was going to die, and the mind couldn't handle the sheer panic of its own expiration date. So it invented a cosmic daddy to promise a sequel. Religion relies on the biol...

"Save the planet" is pure human narcissism. The rock doesn't need saving. Humans are just altering the biosphere to make it toxic for themselves. The Earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, wait a few millennia, and grow a new skin.

The organism wants to live, so the brain invents a story where the organism is the hero of the cosmos. Savior complex. The mind cannot handle the fact that humanity is just a temporary mold on a wet rock, so it manufactures a grand purpose to avoid the terror of its own insignificance.

Nuclear toys and carbon footprints are irrelevant to a system that has survived asteroid impacts and magma oceans.

A lot of digital technology is not infrastructure for living. Endless feeds, notifications, commentary, product cycles, arguments, and updates. Remove it, and your life might become less convenient or less "connected", but it doesn't necessarily collapse. It may improve. Hab...

John Gruber personal PR for Apple is again excited about his ad revenue: It doesn't matter that Samsung and Google and a bunch of Chinese companies have made foldable Android phones for a decade. Almost nobody cares. The Duo is a fucking iPhone. That makes people care. Nob...

Online warriors feel righteous while exploiting the planet. They attack individuals like the guy vibe coding Arch Linux distribution from his laptop or random nobody for his presence on social platform X. That fight costs them nothing. It's a digital witch hunt that doesn't interrupt their Amazon deliveries or Netflix binges.

Confronting the actual meat grinder, like the global war machine and the kids dying in African mines to build their Intel chips, would require them to stop consuming. To actually disrupt their comfortable, parasite lifestyles. They don't want to change the world. They want to feel like the hero while participating in its destruction.

Thought projects the "villain" onto an individual so the organism doesn't have to look in the mirror.

They want the psychological high of being "good" without ever giving up their pizza.

Life does not need to be organized according to an idea of how it should be. Morality and ethics are tools of social control to keep the herd predictable. To domesticate you. Society invented "good" and "bad" so you would police yourself out of guilt. Values are disease desi...

People often confuse freedom with disorder, and predictability with trust. Autonomy threatens something psychological that obedience doesn't. Human ability to predict the other person. People generally build a mental model of someone: "He's this kind of person. She believes ...

Everything is just worthwhile. At least according to Robert Birming. https://robertbirming.com/ Boring, out of reality, but the machine for positive, affirmative and empty words. Rainbow and sunshine even though he lives in Sweden. Everything he writes is valuable because he...

Fuck it, stop speaker immediately so his annoying voice does not overwrite your 15 second buffer in you watches. If you are lucky and fast, you get like last 10 seconds of it, including your stoping request and his annoying answer to it. You read what he just said. Then you ...

Dominant output of mind is pure stupidity, illusion. Without facts, without any base. Parroting nonsense so output does not cost brain too much. Survival energy management. Mind still did not adapt for relative abundance and safety that many people experience this time. Naiv...

In a previous article I wrote about con men. Business owners or artificial authorities who play experts. They try to trick you for simple reasons such as money, popularity, status, power. They often confirm their expertise with each other. It's visible and easy to spot. Howe...

A person can have enormous authority because he is popular, credentialed, wealthy, or repeatedly featured by platforms, while having relatively weak incentives to tell you what is actually true. An independent person has no particular reason to tell you that you need an iPho...

Apple hallucination is back

Look at this nice spaghetti URL ;/

I think Zhenyi Tan's Litterbox Safari extension is a much better solution for viewing tweets on X without going to X.

Sir, you probably never tried browsing the web with Firefox + uBlock Origin. Recommending Safari browser with some extension to browse some corporate website can recommend only ad enthusiasts or somebody who got paid for telling that.

A website/proxy works on any browser and any device, while your "product recommendation" only for cult members.

Almost every website today use links. In bloated and ugly way. Domain name is long, link is longer than a spaghetti and all this is hidden behind the cool label. SEO URLs, a relic of early 2000s search engine algorithms. People optimized their links for machines and made the...

It's MY iPAD, let me delete stuff!

Dear Sir, becaue you paid for the iPad, it does not give you the permission to do whatever you wish on it. You can do what Apple allows you. For "geek" it should be obvious. You did not pay for the hardware. You pay for a privilege to run today, what Apple decided yesterday.

it's purely as a consumption device.

Exactly. It works as designed.

Ultimately I only need four apps on it.

Most people need just more money.

why the fuck can't I delete it?

Because the master did not allow you.

taking up 2.4GB of space. Why?

Upgrade ;/

Manton is my favorite human online. He is the only one I read daily the way somebody chews gum. He does not seem edgy, radical, or a fanatic. Probably a "good" and respectable citizen, friend, and valuable member of the society. His views seem normal. He probably reads a lot...

It is based on a false premise that you are incomplete and need to find something to become whole. If you accept that there is no inherent meaning, the mind has no job. It panics. To avoid this horrific silence, it creates ideologies, debates about nonsense to keep this psyc...

Brennan tried to be a healer and savior:
https://brennan.day/i-m-looking-for-love/

He preaches love as the universal cure while simultaneously advertising his own lack of it.

All of this to say that I am, right now, looking for love. I am in a season of yearning! Dreams of an Internet boyfriend/girlfriend. And this post is an embarrassing declaration, as much as it is a genuine prayer.

Subhumans detected article Defense mechanism activated in one reader. I got an email from Brennan ( https://brennan.day/ ) with the part: But people are trying. They aspire to goodness and principles no matter how badly they perform. That means something. I'd much rather ha...

Open source, stand with X, against Y. Moral business owner. Good respectable citizen. Ethical business.

Then reality hits a bank account. Somebody used "open source" offered. Audience is on platform Y. The realization, that being morally pure is bad for business.

Taking a "stand" generates engagement, press, and loyal followers. When that strategy stops yielding profit, or when the algorithm actively punishes their absence, the "values" are quietly discarded.

Then apology template with many empty words jumps in. "We should communicate this better." "We still stand with our values." "Things changed." "We have big plans."

Clown show that translates to: "we need your money, please ignore the contradiction."

Predictable, cynical, driven by capitalism.
