@nhoizey Cool, thanks a lot for reporting this issue, Nicolas! And @buttondown for the quick fix 👏

@nhoizey 🧐 No, that’s not on purpose! Just checked and it works on my machine™ (iOS Safari 17.2.1).

Does the direct link work? https://buttondown.email/ownyourweb/archive/issue-10/

The archive is still (aside from the styling on top) coming from @buttondown, so that’s probably something that could be fixed on their side…? Maybe a routing issue? 🤔

Also, look at those ocean temperatures.

WTF.

“The world just experienced its warmest January on record, marking the first 12-month period in which temperatures averaged more than 1.5C (2.7F) above pre-industrial times.”

I urge you to talk to everyone around you and ask them to vote for people who take climate action seriously.

Moved the Mac mini to the ground below today.

You‘ll tell me when my obsession with cable management is getting out of hand, right? 🤓

@mauricerenck The mount costs around 15–20 €. And for the USB hubs, I’m using Velcro tape. Worked really well well overall and if you don’t need to plug stuff in and out that often, it’s a great way to save some space on the desk. 😊

Yes of course I’m a professional why are you asking

Issue 4 of #OwnYourWeb is out. 🥳

I wanted to know: which tech stacks, platforms, content management systems, static site generators etc. are you using for your personal sites?

And the whole internet replied! 🤯💚

Hahahahaha. 😂

“It’s is free and always will be.”

€ 12,99/month for Facebook or Instagram if you don’t want to sell your soul to Zuck’s ad machine? (They will still track you as much as legally possible, of course, just don’t show “relevant” ads.)

Sounds more like: “They trust me – and now also pay me – dumb fucks.”

Glad I don’t have a Facebook account anymore. Time to delete Instagram as well – it somehow never wasn’t my network anyway. 👋

Wow. That’s a shitty move.

“Say you search for ‘children’s clothing.’ Google converts it, without your knowledge, to a search for ‘NIKOLAI-brand kidswear,’ making a behind-the-scenes substitution of your actual query with a different query that just happens to generate more money for the company.”

Ka-ching!

I want to stay informed but it’s really getting more intense and distressing every year now. Yet there is also a lot of good and hopeful news. So, I guess that’s simply the reality we need to honestly assess and understand in order to prepare, act, and change.

How do you feel watching all this unfold?

Damn, following that #climatechange hashtag changes your timeline a lot…

A record-breaking heatwave in Asia, an unprecedented marine heat wave, wildfires in Canada, a heatwave breaks the power grid in Texas, Antarctica melting faster than ever, the hottest June ever, the hottest seven days in the last 100.000 years, El Niño is here, flooding in New York state, a new heatwave in Europe, a coast-to-coast heat dome in the US, record monsoon rains in India…
and Hurricane season has only just begun.

BUILDING A WEBSITE LIKE IT'S 1999... IN 2022

✨? A wonderful post by @sophie about how she brought back the weird and fun side of the Web on her personal website:

Just downloaded my Twitter archive again and converted it to Markdown, including high-res images this time. I suggest you do the same if you want a backup of your data that is independent of Twitter’s servers and free from obfuscated t.co links.

Here’s a quick how-to:
