There was once only one rule for social media is: Be interesting. Social media is engineered to do one thing – keep users engaged and viewing ads. That is why they favour creators who are interesting. The more provably interesting you are (measured in interactions), the more they will promote [Read More]

@openmentions.com Artemis by Andy Weir is a solid entry book, being both science-based and a great read

What are some excellent starter books for people getting into SciFi?

@openmentions.com I started with Star Trek books - written by different authors, but easy to digest. Other than that, I think The Forge of God by Greg Bear is a great one. I also liked "We are Legion" (The Bobiverse series) by Dennis Taylor.

So, I recently made a little toy I call Today In Emoji. It shows you some emojis that relate to the day. If you mouse over them, you get some text explaining what the relevance is, and some are links to more information. [skip to the code] It might look something like this: There’s a [… [Read More]

I found an edge case problem for my Top Sites feature of Open Mentions. If a site uses www. as part of their address, my custom SQL didn’t take that into account and filtered it as not the same site. This was because subdomains count as a different site, but the top sites drops the…

Large language models and their associated bots are bad for the indie web in at least three ways: 1) their logistical consequences are bad for bandwidth, 2) their social consequences are bad for guides, and 3) their citational consequences are bad for surfability.

Although normally spoken about as a cohesive whole, different aspects of the indie web ethos can wind up in tension with each other, which raises the question of which one ultimately takes priority.

I think I was tired when I went to bed. I dreamed that I was going to bed in “my other bed”. The pillows were not as good, and I thought to myself, I have new pillows on my other bed, and spares, I should use those next time. In that reality, having multiple beds is, it seems, normal.
