Maybe this is a flavor of context collapse: the standardization of all events, no matter how big or small, delightful or traumatic, to fit the same mashed-together timeline.
The BDC would be tasked with developing a surveillance-free platform architecture to enable citizens to interact with one another, provide support for publicly funded journalism, and develop resources for social and political communication.
Na een paar jaar actief mee te praten en te denken over het Indieweb, merkte ik bij mezelf dat de fut er uit was. Ik kon mezelf niet meer genoeg enthousiast krijgen om weer een issue aan te maken op Github voor een bug, om weekenden op te offeren met code schrijven die ik zelf amper begreep. Immers,…
I am less active too right now, in the sense of building anything or attending events.
But I hope that just regularly posting and being visible as part of the wider IndieWeb is a useful contribution, too.
Related: this is a really fun listen from Doug Belshaw. He discusses IndieWeb and the issues he sees with it.
Doug has a preference for the Fediverse as an approach to an open web, and says the political philosophy of the IndieWeb is a type of right-libertarianism, because it lacks social equality, and without that it is just a focus on individual freedom.
My gut response is that I disagree of course. But it’s a great jumping off point for some thought and reflection…
Diversity is absolutely a problem in tech, but IndieWeb folks are, from my experience, absolutely doing what they can to rectify that; bringing in people from all sorts of backgrounds, trying to boost the minority voices, and being supportive of everyone who is trying to make the world, or at least the Internet, a better place.
This is a really good article by Fluffy on the state of the IndieWeb and making it more accessible for wider adoption. Just because we’re not there yet, doesn’t mean that we’re not trying.
I don’t know much about CHT. I listened to a few episodes from Your Undivided Attention a while back and they were very interesting, though I have a vague memory of thinking they seemed to skirt around to avoid implicating capitalism as a systemic cause of anything.
I set up bridgy to toot from my site to social.coop and notify me of replies… but so far it seems if I have a title for my notes (which I like to do), then that’s all that gets posted. Hmm.
It is on Smashing Magazine, so aimed at web developers building their own sites. For hosted IndieWeb services, where you get a site without needing to build it, I noticed that Malcolm has added a way to use Haza.Website without needing to register a domain straight away – https://no.haza.website/.
