📝 If your content is only on social media, I'm not going to see it #Tech #Socialmedia #Rss

If you only post on social media, I won't see it. If you don't have an RSS feed, I won't follow it, I won't subscribe to it. I don't want want your app because I don't want a homescreen full of apps for publications and platforms.

@reillypascal @binarydigit Interesting — I had no idea they even added a VPN and other features. I'm still a *tad* wary of adding it to the list of options though haha. https://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-mega-trade-barbs-over-hostile-takeover-claims-150731/

@binarydigit Ohhh interesting 👀 is this the same Mega that Kim Dotcom founded?

📝 Alternatives to US tech platforms #Development #Webdev #Tech #Politics #Socialmedia

With the US rapidly devolving into a failed state with the endorsement (both full-throated and tepid) of many tech leaders, I’d urge you to reconsider your use of any tech platforms and tools offered by companies based here. Donating to a fascist’s inauguration isn’t a shrewd business decision, it’s a demonstration that you’re...

Our ISP moved support to an AI chatbot and requires an extra $10/month to get ahold of an actual person.

📝 Chronological feeds, slow feeds #Tech #Socialmedia #Rss

RSS has always been the best way to consume news online. I first used Google Reader soon after it launched (RIP), have cycled through Feedbin, Inoreader and NewsBlur and the slow, orderly chronologically ordered list of items the form provides puts the user in control of what they consume and the pace at which they consume it.

My most blocked domain in nextDNS is Apple’s iCloud metrics. The 3rd is analytics for books. But privacy

Can’t wait until we have to mint our taxes as NFTs and submit them via the blockchain or something.

@binarydigit And yet everyone will be surprised when BlueSky needs money 🫣😅

That or no social media executives at all. Quit ceding the public square to for profit companies. https://mastodon.social/@simonbs/113919362039665889

What are the odds of getting through TSA with this on your backpack?

Having #11ty write out PHP files definitely *does* work.

@skinnylatte My wife asked where she can get them 😅

@killyourfm I *love* it. My whole music page is charted from listens I record from webhook events https://coryd.dev/music.

I even hacked together a workflow to import artist metadata from Plex. 🤓

Album cover screams easy listening. Album just screams.

Excited for everyone to change their avatars to selfies from Apple's image playground

🔗 For Love of God, Make Your Own Website via Aftermath #Tech #Blogging #Socialmedia

Browsing the internet used to be a hobby of mine. Ever since my dad got us a modem when I was around ten, I spent hours at a time just looking at different websites. The internet felt like a limitless expanse of free expression. Now, despite how many more people use the internet, I usually end up at the same three or four websites, and I end up a...

🔗 The New Alt Media and the Future of Publishing via @anildash #Journalism #Tech

You might have noticed, it’s not a super fun time to be in the publishing industry, especially if you’re trying to do journalism. The years-long drumbeat of bad news issuing from nearly every newsroom has left people understandably despairing about what’s going to happen next.
