Tim Berners-Lee Says AI Will Not Destroy the Web
Tim Berners-Lee thinks AI will help the web, not destroy it. The inventor of the World Wide Web has spent years warning about platform concentration and social media’s corrosive effects, but he views AI differently. AI has accomplished what his Semantic Web project could not. The technology extracts structured data from websites regardless of how the information was formatted. … ⌘ Read more

Thank you for the encouragement and love and kind words, @lyse @movq @bender @doesnm and others along the way I'm not sure of their feed uris 💕 I'll keep at it, but for the time being I will keep my distance, mostly off IRC, because I don't have the energy to spare in that kind of engagement (what//if the worst happens, it's so draining). I need to remember what I ever did any of this for, it was back in ~2020 and I wanted really to build small interconnected communities that any non "tech savvy" person (more or less) could also benefit from ane enjoy. Even if there are aspects of the specs we've built/extended over time that aren't "perfect"™, they're "good enough"™ that they've last 5+ years (I believe this is 6 years running now). I want to spend a bit of time going back to why I did any of this in the the first place, and get a little micro-SaaS offering going (barely covering running costs) so encourage more folks to run pods, and thus twtxt feeds and grow the community ever so slightly. Other than that, I plan to get the specs "in order" to a point (with @movq and @lyse's help) where I hope they'll stand the test of time -- like SMTP.

S - move from flat design to more detailed, 3D, more complex logos.
A - glass, not just liquid, Windows Vista, 7, 11,… accessibility concerns, but I like to see it.
B-/C+ - black and white icons, favicons. I did it before it was cool, but it’s getting overused.
E - gradientslop, barely started, already all blends together.
CBS Cuts Trump’s Corruption Tantrum From ’60 Minutes’ Edit
Cameron Adams , Reporter - Daily Beast
Stephan: Yesterday I posted an article on what a sad shadow 60 Minutes and CBS have become since the compary was bought by a Republican supporting billionaire. Well, as bad as I thought it was, it was actually worse. They edited the interview to conceal Trump’s psychopathic behavior. The good news is that at least some of the media is revealing this edited bias.

Fevela.me – A newsreader-like client for the Nostr social network
I created Fevela, a fork of the great Jumble, because I wanted a Nostr social client that would give me back full control of my attention and time. So I designed an interface similar to that of old good newsreaders, which for me is perfect to encourage exploration of interesting content rather than doomscrolling. I then added some ad hoc filters that can help reduce noise and improve the signal.
