How far back in time can you understand English?
How far back in time can you understand English?
I started struggling by the 1600s but still managed to read... Let me tell you, 1500s Portuguese is so much more far removed than present-day Portuguese than English... What the hell happened.

If you write on the web about anything, please, give me links. I want to be able to click them and discover new websites and keep my web journey going.

How LLMs & Chatbots Are Bad For the Indie Web
How LLMs & Chatbots Are Bad For the Indie Web
Can't deny what is true. I did catch myself thinking about the surfability issue when using chat bots for answers...
Surfability for the indie web can only come from a culture of links that allows you to click around. Reading one response post leads you to another. Opening a personal site leads you to a blogroll or a button wall. Finding a directory lets you discover a whole array of websites to explore. If exploring the indie web is what we want, as opposed to loading one single page as a novelty and then getting sucked back into a billionaire’s feed, then the indie web needs this handcrafted surfability.
Surfability is exactly what we stand to lose to LLMs because LLMs are notorious for separating people from sources.

A Teoria da Internet Viva
A Teoria da Internet Viva
A web está vivona, bem vivona, você só precisa procurar nos cantos certos. Talvez seja até possível dizer que a maior parte da web esteja morta - ou coisa pior - e que o que há de vivo são uns poucos povoamentos humanos, algo meio The Walking Dead2. Se assim for, tudo bem. Ainda há vida e possibilidades de contatos com pessoas incríveis na web. Acho que devemos aproveitar. 😊

"Quality over quantity" is truly at the core of blogging, totally agree. As to why not journal... Well, it's like wearing clothes. You do it for others, too.
When people like my blog, it's because they've made it to the end of the page. When people email me, it's because they've been somehow positively impacted by what I wrote, so much so they opened up a separate tab or window just to reach out. That means a hell of a lot more to me than comments. That's a REAL thoughtful interaction. It's a quality over quantity approach.

I opened a bookshop. It was the best, worst thing I’ve ever done

Community is what so many of us are lacking in our lives. Our yearning for it is what sends us in our droves to music festivals and overpriced theatres. It’s what we thought we’d found on social media and have since realised we didn’t. And, above all else, it’s what independent bookshops thrive on.

RT/Boost/Repost é um componente prejudicial para redes sociais “tranquilas”?
RT/Boost/Repost é um componente prejudicial para redes sociais “tranquilas”?
Quem escreve precisa estar o tempo inteiro lendo, consumindo diferentes conteúdos, diferentes pontos de vista sobre uma mesma coisa, e a partir daí é que se torna possível escrever algo rico, que faça sentido nesse mundaréu de letras que nos afoga. Encarar o repost meramente como algo relacionado a um “campeonato de popularidade” é perder de vista esse importante potencial, que é conhecer pessoas novas a partir de uma referência comum, o que no fim a boa escrita exige.

Eu gosto do status.cafe pela falta de "numerização", é realmente um microblogue onde as pessoas postam seus dias e sentimentos. E nada mais.

when you anthropomorphize llms
when you anthropomorphize llms
What really gets me are the people who aren't even technical writing these dramatic thinkpieces. You know the ones: "AI has reached a new level of judgment..." followed by the same tired predictions about replacing writers and coders we've been hearing for years. It's just clickbait
