If you’re online whining that Pink Floyd, Star Trek, and Star Wars have ‘gOnE wOke’ then you were never a fan of any of those things.

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.

Tip for anyone who's been put off building stuff with JS due to the terrifying array of build tools and packages and framework choices you have to make these days

You don't have to use any of that stuff!

A few years ago I gave myself permission to ignore it all and just use default browser environments... and it turns out to be a really fun, productive, dare I say delightful environment to work in

Now that we can ignore IE compatibility modern JS and browser APIs are really nice to work with!

Reminder, podcasts are just an rss feed with links to audio files.

Not an app. Not some walled ecosystem.

Alright heck it I've reached a breaking point with this crap. We have GOT to make the internet more than five big crappy websites full of screenshots of the other four. Hell with it, do-it-ourselves time.

PM me with your hobby website URL, email address and 468*60 non-animated banner image, and I'll give you free advertising on Improbable Island.

The Island transfers 1.5 to 2 gigabytes of text a day, that's a lotta eyeballs on your ad, no catch. Boosts welcome.

We need to bring back banner exchanges, I mean it.

Google killed them just like yahoo killed webrings because if you can just surf from site to site then you don't need search engines. Sod it let's bring them back. Aye they might've been often ugly and tacky but *you could use them* is the thing.

You tried setting up a google ad lately? I tried them for my hosting business back in like '05 and it was a PITA, took all day, you needed to hire a person to manage it. It's no better now!

@filippo is there a write up somewhere of what’s happened? Sounds shitty and important

techbro: I'm gonna write code to take advantage of all this juicy Mastodon data!
Techbro, shortly later: wow the Mastodon people are really unpleasant to people who take advantage of all that data, and that makes me sad and now I won't make tools that unethically take advantage of all the data

Me: System working as designed.

I was reminded in conversation about when I used to live in neighborhoods that had lots of these posters for the local nightclubs around, which were great for sticking googly eyes on.

Y'know that discomfort when you're with someone who's getting all worked up over something that really isn't a big deal?

That's basically what it feels like every time I look at Twitter. A lot of social media seems to be a contest to see who can get the most worked up the loudest - and that ain't healthy for anybody.

This time I am sharing photos of an abandoned and overgrown glasshouse with a pool I explored a few years ago.

💚 For me, the colour green symbolises life and positivity. What does it mean to you?
