Hi, I’m Diana! Researcher & writer working on self-regulation, practice, and how technology quietly messes with attention.
Currently PhD-shaped.

Interested in media interaction, learning processes, music practice, and queer life without the algorithmic panic.

Mostly here to interact with people.

Expect mostly replies to stuff and the odd rant about niche topics. Light on hot takes; heavy on “hm, that’s interesting."

Lighthouse Lore (Keeper’s Log)

Keeper back from holidays.
Everything appears normal.
This is rarely true.

🎄 Christmas Eve at the Lighthouse
Earphones on. Lights low.
A quiet voice from the tower while the internet sleeps.

Settle in. This one’s meant to be heard. 🔊✨

There's a solar-powered webserver and small web design workshop happening in Guelph! So awesome!

https://edvideo.org/blog/workshop/how-to-build-a-solar-powered-web-server/

"In their ongoing research and creative practice, Clendinning draws from media artist Carrie Hott’s Slow Internet ethos and the energy-responsive design strategies developed by the Solar Protocol Network, to advocate for web design that prioritizes the use of limited colours, fonts and lower resolution images."

The Taliban has cut Wi-Fi in Mazar-e-Sharif and fiber optic internet across Afghanistan, citing "morality" concerns. High-speed internet restrictions may expand, impacting daily life, business, and access to information. 🌐 #Taliban #InternetRestrictions #Afghanistan #DigitalRights #SlowInternet

Following on from yesterday's post, we thought we'd share this from @thecreativeindependent.com‬ 🐌

"...in the midst of the state of things, it’s nice to remind ourselves of the slow and quiet corners hiding in the folds of the net—like the Wilson Towercam—and to hope that we might continue to build them."

Downloading "Split Fiction" through the EA App made me face the issue of slow downloads once again. Now I figured it out and the download speeds are much better!

We need a project like #Gemini (the protocol, not the dystopian massively-parallel-value-extractor) to establish protocols and services that work well at 128kbps.

That would be crazy cool.

We have #Gemini, we have the #SmolWeb, now we need #SlowInternet (on purpose).

Background: about half a decade ago, I purchased a pre-paid SIM with unlimited "2G"-speed internet connectivity.

I thought 128kbps would be more than enough for my needs.

Nope. Almost entirely unusable. Stuff would just fail gracelessly left and right, even though it was slowly-but-steadily getting the job done.

I had paid for a year in advance X'D
