I’ve been in tech since the early 80s… first as obsession, then as career, then as treadmill. The small web gave me the obsession back. 60 years old. Increasingly selective about where my attention goes. offgridholdout.org - Mastodon, Gemini, Gopher.
@Phenarax_ui Personally I feel like AI is not the issue. The issue is the money and commercialism behind it... from the creators as well as the users.

I have a new home on the web at https://realityinexile.com. Writing about tech, the small web, self-hosting, music, history, and whatever else has my attention. There is also a small forum for people who want to stay and talk. No ads, no tracking, no algorithms. Just writing and conversation at a relaxing pace. #slowpint #smallweb #forum #blog
Dennis JoinerIn an age where headlines are crafted to provoke before they inform, media “jackals” thrive on fear, division, and emotional manipulation. This piece explores how propaganda spreads through outrage-driven narratives, shaping public opinion by repeating distortion until it starts to feel like truth.
