Knowing the consequences I want, what choice would create them? What big choice would nudge a hundred others that way?

A bare-minimum ActivityPub server from scratch

grishka.me/blog/activitypub-from-scratch

This is a translation of the article I originally wrote in Russian a year ago.
Lately, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, people have started looking for its alternatives – and many found one in Mastodon.
Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that works on the federation model, like email. The federation protocol is called ActivityPub and is a W3C standard, and Mastodon is far from being its only implementation, albeit it is the most popular one.

Sound UI

www.makeworld.space/garden/Computers/Sound UI.html

I think sound is a dramatically underutilized way to communicate with the user in modern software tools. Using sound for a notification is just annoying, but using other properties (pitch, timbre, length, etc) or producing varying drone sounds across time presents new ways to passively inform users of things. A classic example of this is fan sounds alerting users that their computer is under heavy load, and perhaps something is going wrong. As modern fans get quieter, computer programs should offer similar interfaces to provide all kinds of information.

  • Приложения для сбора хайлайтов из статей и книг не помогают запоминать прочитанное

  • Для того, чтобы запоминать прочитанное не нужна хорошая память

  • Лучший способ запомнить прочитанное — понять то, что ты прочитал

  • Чтобы на самом деле понять прочитанное, нужно приложить усилия

  • Объясняй другим идеи, чтобы лучше понимать и запоминать их

  • Заведи блог

  • Участвуй в сетевых дискуссиях

  • Откажись от автоматизации

When Did Personal Computers Stop Improving? - Björn Wärmedal

warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/2021-09-25-when-did-personal-computers-stop-improving.html

I guess the point I'm trying to convey is that I do the same things with my computers today that I did one or even two decades ago. The hardware has become monumentally more powerful, but my user experience hasn't really changed a bit. And most of all my level of productivity and enjoyment from my devices stays the same.

IndiePass

A Social Feed Reader for the IndieWeb

The Mac version simply didn't run. I installed the Android version. On first run it showed a quick error which I did not understand. I wanted to see how my Betula, which emits h-feed and h-entry microformats, would look like in this app. Turns out, when it talked about IndieWeb, it talked about MicroSub, not microformats2. What a liar!

I tried to authorize to https://merveilles.town, after all it supports Mastodon too! It failed to authorize me.

Overall, I couldn't do anything at all with the app. Sharing it nevertheless.
