Phoronix posted an article on the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 yesterday, and the comments were nothing if not predictable.

Sanctimonious post about something that, strangely enough, just occurred to me: normal people can easily turn into soulless sellers, casually dropping ridiculous corporate jargon while taking money out of the same group they call community. Yesterday I watched a few vid … | Continue reading

My latest post generated a few emails from people suggesting alternatives to my semi-manual Instapaper solution. The back-and-forth convinced me to describe how I use read later services. I knew about the suggested solutions already, so why didn’t I choose either of the … | Continue reading

About seven years ago one of the first federated social networks appeared on the internet. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, “federated” just means “not a walled garden” – plays nicely with others. Where Twitter and Facebook attempted to ring-fence users into a tightly controll … | Continue reading

Back in October last year I ended my Gemini-style link experiment, and went back to using inline links. Look at that, I’ve done two already! From the latter post: I’m going back to inline links, but I’m making sure each link has alt text. I should have been doing that already for … | Continue reading

Back in 2019, I bought the first turntable I’d touched since the early 1980s as a kid. It was super fun at first, because it was analog and lacking all the features I’d had in MP3 players for the past two decades. You just put the needle down and consume a whole album without int … | Continue reading

Most of y’all probably now by now about Bluesky, Jack Dorsey’s still-fairly-new Twitter clone, which is supposed to have been designed to make it more difficult for one delusional billionaire to buy up and intentionally wreck.

Today’s writing prompt asks what the most important invention in your lifetime is.

I think the streaming industry was never conceived on a decent business model. Its level of gaslighting is astonishing, and successful. When Napster and other peer-to-peer systems threatened the then status quo of the music industry, something changed. The largest music … | Continue reading

Another year, another platform goes down. I’ve just completed the process to delete my 14-years-old Soundcloud account. Not much to add here, the platform has been quite pointless to me for a long time. Without going deep into the quality of their audio codec, my issue … | Continue reading
I’ve been trying an experiment this week writing fewer, longer posts instead of more short ones. It’s been kind of fun, and also a welcome distraction from some more bad family news.
