Despite the latest crime novel being currently unpublished, film and TV studios around the world had already begun jostling for rights for “Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body,” according to Deadline, making it a particularly hairy situation. But AI detectors exposed apparent “fingerprints,”

‘Be yourself’ is great advice, but I’m not sure most people know what that means. First you have to know who you are, what thoughts are yours and not someone else’s. In a world of constant input and infinite scrolling we’ve all

She brought me an egg, pale blue and still warm in her little hand. It was my job to teach her not to touch them, only to look. We couldn't find the nest again. I carried it home in shaking hands and set a lamp to warm it.

Did this pass the ethics board? Oh wait, they don’t have one. LOL www.youtube.com/shorts/Xt…

I am sure that SamA and Amodei will debunk this all they way to their AGI. www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/3…

July came and went and I didn’t write a reply post to anyone.

Why? I simply haven’t read anything that I felt I could build upon. I had a few knee-jerk reactions where I could have written a condescending reply post, but what’s the point of that?

To be honest, I’m not sad about missing JulyReply. I don’t like forcing things.

The Golden Compass has been showing up in my (automated) recommendations for a long time, so I decided to finally read it. It’s the first book of Philip Pullman’s acclaimed His Dark Materials trilogy, published between 1995 and 2000. The book follows 11-year-old Lyra, who i...

Somewhere in between dwarf fortress and runescape

I'm working on a remix of a short 5 channel piece constructed from the sounds of gas-filled ping pong balls. (From this excellent Daniel Blinkhorn album.) The original (Gossima Collective 1) has such shape in its 98 seconds. There's so much going on without ever collapsing...

The hardest thing for people to get about open systems is that if you move forward, not only do you benefit, but your competitors benefit equally. When one of them takes but doesn't give back, that's even worse. But you do it anyway because otherwise eventually, without interop, no one can move.

After years of loyal user of Standard Notes, I have decided to migrate to Obsidian. Just to be fair, this decision is not born out of dissatisfaction with Standard Notes as product. It remains solid, reliable and privacy respecting tool that has served me exceptionally well.

A brief overview

Standard Notes is a privacy-focused, end-to-end encrypted note-taking application that has been my trusted companion for many years. It offers a clean, distraction-free environment for capturing thoughts, ideas, and important information. With its strong emphasis on security and simplicity, it provides a safe vault for personal notes across multiple devices.

Detail from the first life-drawing from today’s session I did my last life-drawing session of July earlier today, making a total of four sessions. I’ve got ano...

I just learned that it’s possible to join this WordPress blog to the Fediverse, by simply activating the ActivityPub plugin that is already installed… So let’s see if this works!

I have an AI agent that helps me handle legal cases. It's not a lawyer, but I can iterate with it for hours on different scenarios, work on collecting evidence, ask clarifying questions, etc. It charges me an hourly rate of $1.20, so 100x cheaper than an

Forums are cool again, more on parasites, ATProto x RSS, forkchops, and... Winamp?

Responding to Dan Q's post on blogging expectations, I argue that you don't need to blog at all to participate in the IndieWeb. Your website can be shrines, art, or anything else. A retrospective on the poisonous gamification and commodification of blogging from the early 2000s, and the IndieWeb as a return to original weblogging where the Internet belongs to humans.

If you run your own RSS.chat instance, you can now add a menu of commands to the menubar. Details in the worknotes for today. I added a DW menu to rss.chat or demo.rss.chat.
