Nicolas, même si nous nous étions éloignés depuis quelques temps, tant nos opinions étaient divergentes, était devenu un ami.

"The Old School (Hyperborean) Renaissance" by Chris Kutalik.

https://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-old-school-hyperborean-renaissance.html

"The movement began innocently enough with the rediscovery of On the Harmonious Arrangement of Municipal Sewers by the philosopher-engineer Vek Ult. The text was so surprisingly practical that several cities immediately adopted its recommendations, reducing outbreaks of sewer-ghouls by nearly a third."

Hot take: I think things like bubbles.town are bad for the #indieweb, #smallweb, #boringweb, #blogosphere or whatever you want to call it.

That ranking mechanism is just a drop in replacement for any other sorting/scoring algorithm.

I am seeing many posts very obviously doing "optimizations" like publishing replies to the top posts, using similar titles or talking about the same topics...

This is introducing the toxic incentive to try to rise to the top of the list and I hate it.

Bon, pour les nostalgiques des #blogs, @jegoun est mort hier d’un AVC massif. Après #Menilmuche, je commence à me dire que bloguer n’est pas bon pour la santé.

Both an interesting read for the story of introducing the author's dad to TTRPGs and because of the brief review of the experience of playing Roach Motel, norgad's most recent Mothership module. Norgad's previous work includes Brackish and Dead Weight.

Putting out fire (not)

https://www.filmvanalledag.nl/2026/05/08/putting-out-fire-not/

Hi, This is Ava: misogyny in the blogosphere. “When a man writes confidently like an expert about something, it matters less to people when he doesn’t have (or doesn’t immediately offer up) official credentials (like certificates, degrees, work, etc.) about it. As a woman, you are asked more for these and even have to offer up this information upfront to be believed. Even then, this is not […]

#Browser #Enshittification: no more #XSLT (= human-friendly #XML).
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1287
#Google continues their strangling of the #open #web - most influential was maybe killing the #Blogosphere and giving rise to the #corporate #platform #web by sunsetting their #Reader.

Now another #monopoly is used to get rid of human-friendly xml documents. A thing many of people involved in the decision likely can't imagine and many people familiar with the corporate platform web won't miss. They're fine with a browser that can render animated #advertising and are not interested in documents which their attention span doesn't allow to read them anyway.

Exceptionally sad, yet not surprising, is that Google is aided by #Mozilla and #Firefox in doing so.
