openid for gemini β i believe that activity pub is an overkill for the problem it is trying to solve. we have rss/atom/yyyy-mm-dd for fetching news. rss solves the problem of fetching new content, following someone. openid solves the problem of replying/commenting/reacting as someoe. in a sense, we don't need a social network because internet is already one. internet with rss and openid covers essential features of what we call a social network. so let's adapt or design something like...

i wish those youtube videos i want to watch were texts i would read. it is so hard for me to watch something. i do it by 2x speed most of the times. and sometimes it really helps to be able to listen - when doing dumb work or when driving. but still, i have this feeling that the information i'd like to watch is not there as text or i cannot find it. what would you suggest, how to change my habits and where to look for the stuff to read? i explore hacker news, but it covers mostly tech stuff.

when i wanted to set my avatar-emoji here, i thought well, if there is no octopus maybe i'll use the bee, since i love bees? then i remembered that i used bee for some time, and it was very hard time - i worked in two companies simultaneously, had almost daily/or daily calls in both, plus i taught 3 times a week, and i had to check student works, and prepare for classes myself. that was the time i used the atari bee as my avatar. and now i don't want those times back.

i may install bubble on my server β so, i am not sure if i need to write it in some subspace or here, but whatever. for the second time i met a friend who thinks of creating an arty website related to literature and specifically poetry, and a community around it. first time we discussed some options, i showed wordpress.com as an easy option to create a website and host it and get a domain connected. then before today's meeting i had this idea that since she doesn't want to have a complicated...

same pharisaism like in the previous post. like if the js would make the connection secure.

checking if this site connection is secure so frustrating to see how they describe what is happening, when it is not true. they claim that they make a check for me, for the user, to see if it is safe to connect to that site, by 'checking the connection', if 'it is secure'. while if it's https, and there is this lock, it's secure. what they are actually checking is do i behave like a bot, and am i secure for the website? and they tell me they check if the website is secure for me. i would...

however i think, the internet i like is a hobbyist network. no ads, collection of many small servers. however i think, it's not possible to 'earn' money on the internet without ads, or without exploiting the current state, that most of the users aren't literate enough to communicate on the network (message, have a web presence, site, page, blog, rss feed) without using big corporate technologies. they don't know about the alternatives even and it is hard to explain the decentralized way of...

there was a question about posting same content on different places in geminispace, let's say on personal gemlog or phlog and bubble bbs: [gemini link] i answer here because i cannot leave such a long comment there, but i'll leave a link to this text. and the op (original poster) was concerned if duplicate texts would be considered spam. though i wanted to answer that i personally have no problem with that, and if the op was concerned about my feelings, i am ok with that, but i think there...

i also find myself in a dilemma. i don't like to write in english. but it is the language of communication between different people. today. but that's today. is the end of history here? don't get me wrong, i am not someone who watches russian state channels. (: well, maybe you are, but then probably we are not friends. and i am not someone who wants to write texts that are very abstract and are important without a context, are timeless. i believe in 'medium is the message'. i believe '...

so, i wanted to write that i guess today we are living in the age of cyperpunk already. i was reading /s/retrocomputing topics, and i wanted to share that i always have in my pocket motorola droid 4 phone. it doesn't work as phone at all. it has no sim card in it. and i don't like 'phones', since even when using floss lineageos or grapheneos, it's sort of a 'phone os' and not a real operating system. i have a feeling that i use the tv or radio, not a computing device. do you remember the...

i'll try to write a post here. i don't like to be inconsistent, i. e. i would like to know that i write in the same place from time to time. and now i don't have a feeling i will write here always. i have this tendency to want to use software i host, and to use decentralized software, and to use simple software. bubble is not decentralized, is not lowtech i guess, it requires a backend at least, and i use hugo for my web blog. so i am afraid i won't write here, and if so, why would i write...
