Question: Where are the young people?

First, my brother, you're 25! You're a young person, to me at least now. :)

I actually don't care about the age of the people getting involved with WordPress, you can be crufty and resistant to change at any age.

What I want are those that are young at heart, at any age.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Look at the energy Dave Winer is bringing to WordPress at 71. Can't wait to see his talk at WCUS. We're all learning. Maybe we'll get him to install an SSL certificate on scripting.com. ;)

It's still true that the new, good internet will require a movement to overcome the collective action problems and the legal barriers to disenshittifying things. Almost nothing you do as an individual is going to make a difference. But using RSS will! Using RSS to follow the stuff that matters to you will have an immediate, profoundly beneficial impact on your own digital life – and it will appreciably, irreversibly nudge the whole internet towards a better state.

Cory Doctorow. Pluralistic: You should be using an RSS reader (16 Oct 2024)

I'm such a nincompoop when it comes to the Internet, and there's no excuse for it. I do use an RSS reader, The Old Reader, but I'm not very smart about it. This article informed me I could be a lot smarter.

There's an important history to RSS. And that reminded me that I didn't post anything about Dave Winer's 30th blogging aniversery. Dave Winer is someone to follow for expanding imagination about moving the internet toward a better state. If you don't have an RSS Reader, and decide to get one, consider adding for Cory Doctrow's feed and Dave Winer's right off the bat.

Gruber exposes a lie by Accuweather re their iOS app. This illustrates something that's missing in tech journalism: We need a general way of debunking tech bullshit, as Politifact does for politicians. Tech companies get away with it because journalists worship the icons of tech. They can do no wrong. And they're cute, like baby squirrels. The tech gods know you think this about them and fully take advantage of it. Also journalists aren't confident in their understanding of technology.

We need a plan for communicating after the end of democracy

Do you really believe the Supreme Court is going to rule against Trump? I do not. We should be prepared for that.

Enchanted Knowledge Objects in LLM UI

When we drop a document—a PDF, say—into an LLM’s context window, the document has a kind of gravity. It pulls and pushes the model toward certain ideas contained in the text, reshaping its context landscape and responses based on the content. Because I’m so sword and sorcery pilled, the word that comes to mind is that Knowledge Objects are a kind of Talisman – objects imbued with specific powers and properties that can be intentionally wielded to amplify the will of its user.
