A couple of days ago I, like apparently the entire Indie Web, came across that "No, I Won't Buy You A Coffee" blog post, and, oh boy, did that hit me at the "right" time.
In it the author complains about the "rampant capitalization and constant advertisements" they see reflected in those "if you liked this post, you can buy me a coffee" messages at the end of otherwise ad- and monetization-free…

Don’t worry, I am not going to expose anyone but myself here.

A few weeks ago I saw a YouTube video: The Performative Epidemic (Invidious) by chon digital, that was about something I think everyone has heard about in one way or another.

Basically, people that pretend to do or engage in a certain activity and post about it online. All with the hopes of getting engagement…

_Go Fact Yourself_ is ready to burst with trivia! Erinn Hayes is an Emmy-nominated actor known for comedies like “Children’s Hospital” and dramas like “It’s Not Like That.” One of her favorite parts of her job is getting to work with great colleagues; and a lot of that started with performing improv at Disney’s California Adventure.

This 2,550-Hour Dress Blew Real Bubbles at the Met Gala

The Met Gala is probably the most popular and glamorous fashion event in the Western world. Whichever way you feel about the organizers and having...

Sometime around February last year, I setup my comments system using ntfy. I think it’s actually pretty neat how it works and I’ve barely received any spam. I’ve kept it bare-bones since people rarely comment these days. Unless there’s an edgy or controversial post; there’s barely any exchange. And that’s perfectly fine too, I think. For what I write here is just for my future self and to scratch…

Some livestream announcements from the bath 🫧

Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum.

It's your weekly review of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. We aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

IMHO, the best way to…

Welcome to another installment of “things that interested me today but aren’t enough to warrant a blogpost by themselves so I bundled them all together here”—I hope you find something that catches your eye!

Again I don’t really plan to do these every week but it just so happens that I felt like writing about something but didn’t really have a big topic in mind.

Oh well, enjoy the links!

Today, I learned that my blog is on Bubbles. Normally, the fact that a random site — for reasons unknown — has picked up my blog wouldn’t excite me in the least. But a) Bubbles is actually pretty neat, and b) they do exercise editorial control. So I’m pretty pleased that my boring blog made the cut.

I'm not sure how I feel about Bubbles. Bubbles is an attempt to take a Hacker News approach to new blog posts. I could see how this could be great exposure for blogs, but I also see how this could be just another popularity contest for bloggers who write clickbait/rants that they know will get views (i.e most blog specific discovery feeds that rely on upvotes).

I'll be watching this site with…

Bubbles appeared in my analytics today and it could be a fun little project. It seems to be a version of Hacker News for personal and those sites that are non commercial. In short, it curates a bunch of feeds from a bunch of sources (see them here) and then people can upvote on the … Continue reading Bubbles
