Yep, Ghost is cool. RSS too. The open web, yup, cool, too. Alcove, probably. But, yeah, come on, John. So well said by Manual Moreale. Why announce this on X, but not on Mastodon or even Ghost blog, I mean, you own this fuckin place!?
I decided to support this movement, which requires putting a badge on our content to mark it as made by a human. Here's the badge because it is fully human-made. π
Riccardo Mori wrote a long piece about feeling disconnected from technology, a term he prefers over βblazΓ©β or βbored.β His story resonated deeply with me; we seem to share not only a similar tech journey but many of the same sentiments. He articulated things I hadnβt been able to pinpoint myself. Well worth your time.
Because I love the web and believe in an algorithm-free timelines and consumption platforms (like this blog, for example), I think this initiative, called Dealgorithmed, by Manual Moreale, is more than needed. Please subscribe. I did, both to the newsletter and the RSS feed.

There is this thing called Typefully, a web service for writing posts that can be sent to multiple platforms at once, similar to Buffer and... Micro.blog. Typefully was born in the good old days of Twitter and has since expanded to support Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads. I still prefer Micro.blog because I can have my own digital corner with it called a website.
According to ChatGPT:
Typefully is a clean, AI-assisted writing and scheduling tool that helps you draft, publish, and analyze multi-platform social posts and threads with minimal friction.
Here's something that I forgot that I knew about: Freewrite writing devices. If you want a distraction-free, minimalistic writing experience, that's something you might want to consider. These devices are not exactly cheap, but I find the design and purpose idea rather courageous in today's world.
Cool use case of AI for coding: to learn and put something together quickly to test concepts and ideas.

This blog post is a test for a possible new set of blog posts where I would write a short description to accompany a link I find interesting. A post would include a "β Links π" followed by a brief description of a few words. Where should those short posts be hosted? I also wonder if this would compete with my newsletter, which already includes many links. Maybe those links, instead of getting their own domain like "links.numericcitizen.me" could go right here on "blips.numericcitizen.me"? After all, a short blog post to share a link is in fact a blip, right?
