It's been a few years that I removed all trackers from my personal blog as well. (Sometimes I add some privacy-focused analytics, sometimes I remove it.) In my English-written blog[1], I just have a self-hosted Plausible tracker. [1]

I use a simple custom CSS to: 1) increase font size; 2) limit line length, and; 3) change OP's font color: .comment, .toptext { max-width: 72ch; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; color: rgb(27, 27, 27) } In Safari,

Thanks! Tbh, I guess my job (independent publisher, almost a decade going on) is relatively safe. Generative IAs are the next step of today's industrial scale content output, a race (to the bottom) that I long abandoned to focus on com

I used to use the official client prior to Ivory. It's a fine app, but it's a far cry from Ivory's polish and overall quality — I mean, it feels snappier and more “at home” on iOS than Mastodon's official app. Anyway,

I joined the beta test, it's truly awesome and, by far, the best Mastodon app I've tried. A humble review: https://notes.ghed.in/posts/2023/ivory-mastodon-app-review/

Take a look! It's one of the best iOS apps I use on a daily basis. Really well made.

Web3 is an attempt to paint scammy technologies (crypto assets) as something useful (decentralized tech). The truth is: you don't need crypto stuff to have a decentralized internet, as ActivityPub is handsomely showing and, let's

It's been a while that nobody in media thinks “everybody” is on Twitter. What I hear and witness (being myself part of the media) is that the most powerful, influential people use Twitter, which is… kinda true? As a major evidence, let
