Have you looked at the http://IndieWeb.org tools and Webmentions? http://micro.blog offers it all with little hassle.

This is funny to me as it reminds of my early days on help desk where we would get fed up with people coming in telling is what solution they needed for their tech problems instead of telling us the problem and letting us find a solution th

Right, this is the hard part and I don't understand what the law says so far and what may need changed. Imo, if you won't publish my book, I still have free speech, but if no one will sell me paper, then I don't.

Do you think it would be a good idea to make the table of contents backwards starting at the last page? I date everything, so forgetting about page numbers sounds like a great idea.

It’s a form of entitlement. Similar to calling oneself a “keynote speaker” absent any mention of one’s area of expertise. To consider one’s self a founder without an idea is to ignore the importance of vision. Might be ok for a franchise, b

Better to develop the sophistication to filter out garbage and focus on the significant. It would take a more in-depth treatment than this to disabuse me of the belief that keeping a close on the government and other powerful entities is a

Not the technology for self-hosting, the technology for a decentralized, federate Web. That hasn’t been feature-complete for very long at all. And of course it’s the prerequisite for good UX and services.

The value of this model has to be apparent to the user, and I believe that can happen. When that happens, then there’s money to be made off of hosting these sites and for premium providers. The lack of profit motive hasn’t stopped the devel

Yes! The technology really seems basically complete now with the IndieWeb and Fediverse efforts. It’s down to a UX and service provider problem now.

If you’re running a blog or personal website, be sure to IndieWeb-ify it for maximum site-to-site engagement. Use micro.blog or the various IndieWeb plugins (or find lots of other options on http://indieweb.org ).

I’ll never forget muttering that to myself when Washington state passed a law banning smoking within 25 feet of doorways, but Microsoft made it 30 feet on the signage on campus.

There are many ways and reasons why having kids can slow your career, but the flip side has been more important to me. Kids made me more focused (there’s no putzing around when balancing kids and work) and caretaking allowed my personal res

The problem is work culture, not Internet culture. We’re all quick to leave our communities for greener pastures. Many young people don’t even give it a second thought. Learn to love the region you’re in, and let work amd pop culture take a

The framing around “privilege” is useful because it forces a reckoning that white people need to cede something in order for a more equitable society to emerge. Granted, I see the many problems with it, but a lot of that is just white peopl

It's unrealistic and unfair to expect scientists/experts to do the hard work of debunking every crackpot that comes along. The crackpot needs to be more apparent and enticing if he wants to break through.

Help wrest away control from the BigCos. Switch to DDG, self host some stuff, and get on the IndieWeb and the Fediverse. And while you’re at it, throw some investment money into projects along these lines.
