Saturday, November 16, 2024 Excellent piece on how Bluesky leaves users with the impression that it's open and decentralized in ways it is not. If it's bought by someone who wants to use it the way Musk has, they can, without any recourse by the users. As they said in the old days, if you're getting something for free, you're the product, not the customer. We helped Musk build a way to excercise political power against our interests. You may think Bluesky is a way of fixing that, but it probably isn't. They're digging a deep hole, probably too deep to climb out of at this point. They did some innovative stuff, perhaps. But they ended up at the same place, it appears, as Twitter did. # Linkblog items for the day. Inbound RSS for Bluesky would provide a lot of decentralization and interop for very little development investment and would ease concerns about what happens if they are acquired by a Musk-alike. bsky.app Thomas E.

Friday, November 15, 2024 Today's song: Tea for two and two for tea . # I added a screen shot to the WordLand placeholder page . # I predict that people will come to appreciate features that Mastodon has that the other twitter-like social web services don't. # Why Repubs won? They campaigned in a new way that the Dems apparently didn't notice (neither did I, not claiming to be better). Repubs were more creative and improvisational. They didn't worry what Jake Tapper or Ezra Klein would think, so came off as more genuine. It's a TV show, acting and suspension of disbelief are what count. It has nothing to do with anything else. Sorry it has to be that way but that's how it is. I don't think they hate women btw, they would have voted for Roseanne Barr or Melissa McCarthy . Maybe Chris Rock , they probably would have really liked Will Smith . Idiocracy was incredibly prescient . No joke. # When I was a boy my mother would sometimes sa...

Thursday, November 14, 2024 Today's song: Who's this kinky so and so . # A few days ago I saw Donald Fagen at a local supermarket. I had heard he lives in the area. I didn't bother him, I imagine a star like that enjoys moments as an ordinary person, but he's anything but. I'm listening to Haitian Divorce this morning, grinning from ear to ear as I sing along. # Last year on this day : We have too many modes of writing. I just wrote a blog post that's also a tweet. Why didn't it go to my followers on all the social nets I'm on? Why do I have to use a different editor to post to each of the services? That's the point of Textcasting, btw. # We're going to open testing for WordLand shortly. At first I only want developers who write great bug reports. My goal is to speed up development and reduce wear and tear on me. Once we're confident it really works as advertised, we'll open up the testing further. There will be a ...

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 A 27-minute post-election ramble podcast . # I am working on a text editor for WordPress using MediumEditor, but I save the text in Markdown and when I reload the Markdown text I regenerate the HTML. I think the social web should exchange Markdown as the canonical form of web text. It has the right set of features, it's Just Enough HTML . # There isn't a single social web network that I like pouring my creativity into. I feel like I'm being used not appreciated. There's nothing in it for me. I had a similar feeling for Twitter, but they were the only one. Now there are a bunch, and I honestly don't care about any of them, esp now that the election is over. I think this whole idea of feeding the greed of a bunch of tech people is over. If there's a good place to gather, with a small number of people I relate to as people, then I'm up for that, but none of these services meet that need. # ChatGPT can't r...

Read this on my blog Hey all! Yesterday I gave my talk on Nuxt server components at Nuxt Nation (which is currently still happening if you want to check it out ). Next week I'll be giving a talk on Nuxt layers at VueConf Toronto. Other than that, I hope you're having a great week! Enjoy the tips, new podcast episode, and articles. — Michael 🔥 Smooth dragging (and other mouse movements) If you ever need to implement dragging or to move something along with the mouse, here's how you do it: Always throttle your mouse events using requestAnimationFrame . Lodash's throttle method with no wait parameter will do this. If you don't throttle, your event will fire faster than the screen can even refresh, and you'll waste CPU cycles and the smoothness of the movement. Don't use absolute values of the mouse position. Instead, you should check how far the mouse has moved between frames. This is a more reliable and smoother method. If ...

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 If Bluesky is open source, which it appears to be , someone who has time and has experience packaging products, should create a Bluesky distribution for a few popular hosting services, so installing a new instance is as simple as it can possibly be. One click? That would be awesome. We need to have thousands of these running. If it really is like the web, as they say it is, then it should be like the web in every way. There are lots of websites. If you sell your website to a billionaire, that has no effect on my website. Right now we are totally vulnerable to the Bluesky folk selling their service to another country, or our country for that matter -- or a billionaire, or whoever. Whoever did this packaging job would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Anticipating the objection that Mastodon is already doing this -- it is not. Setting up and using a Mastodon instance is good for nerds. Not for poets. # My guess is that they haven't released ...

Monday, November 11, 2024 Does anyone know who was doing the work at kamalahq on the various social networks? I wonder if they would like to keep posting. They stopped updating on Election Day. We could change the names of the accounts. I thought it was great that there was a steady source of political news that didn't equivocate like the NYT-inspired news orgs. I would love to help fund a continuation of that flow. # It might be time to get our shit together. # Linkblog items for the day.
