Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

@underlap Giving up on mobile posting may not be such a big deal, especially if posting frequency is low. Still, static site generators are too much for me.

James Pain's motivations for moving to the Bear Blog lightweight blogging platform resonate with me:

But I care more about publishing. The truth is simple: if the choice is between a perfect platform and a published post, I pick the post.

I went with Write.as for similar reasons, i.e. focusing on frictionless writing rather than setup and customization.

@alexshendi The assembly web page seems to require an account and is not publicly accessible without it.

@cosmos4u Well, after all there's an alpine valley on the Moon.

@remoquete Interestingly, I used teletext briefly only when the technology dawned.

@morrick

@travisfw That's interesting, there's more nuance than I expected.

@tfb No majority?

What theme do you use on the majority of your desktop and mobile devices?

@pixelunion Can't wait to migrate from Google Photos, which I hope to do by the end of the year.

What helped me deliver my RetroChallgence 2024 project on time? Prior experience with the Interlisp API of NoteCards and the nature of Lisp and Lisp systems.

The developer of Bear Blog on the latest wave of scrapers he faced.

They've depleted all human-created writing on the internet, and are becoming increasingly ravenous for new wells of content.

[...]

I'm still speculating here, but I think [mobile] app developers have found another way to monetise their apps by offering them for free, and selling tunnel access to scrapers.

@psychotimmy Thanks!

RetroChallenge announced the results of RC2024/10 and I'm honored to be among the winners. I entered with the WebCard project written in Interlisp, a NoteCards extension for visiting websites.

Thanks to the organizers, voters, and judges and congrats to all the entrants, especially @psychotimmy who won the Grand Prize.
