At FOSDEM 2025, one of the @spritely people said something interesting. I'm not going to quote because I don't remember exact words, but the point was more-less about small-scale, personal computing now being more important than ever.

With AI slop, enshittification, spam, trolls, and all the other problems with the internet, we're not going to be saved by Gemini or other tech that lets the greedy bastards take whatever we create. But maybe small P2P networks could help? Ones that can't even be discovered unless one joins them?

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that Disney's profit from Experiences (theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, etc.) is more than Sports (ESPN) and Entertainment (movies, TV, etc.) *combined*.

I wonder if Disney feel like they've gotten away with something due to how everyone is fixated on their Sports and Entertainment. Their latest earnings report devotes way more words on those than Experiences.

Here's a short piece I wrote about the late great Alasdair MacIntyre with a few memories of interactions that to me showed what kind of person he was

I hade one of those "Awwww I love the indieweb" moments.

Discovered a blog and read some articles which I enjoyed. Wanted to leave something in their guestbook and what a lovely surprise: It was an art-guestbook. So you draw something instead of writing.

Did that. But there was yet another surprise: The Thank you page contained a livestream of a printer, printing the picture I just drew.

Come on. How can you not love that?

Thanks @goodenoughllc

Ah, Zotero groups do provide RSS feeds, they are just well hidden. The basic url format is https://api.zotero.org/groups/<GROUPNUMBER>/items/top?format=atom .

In the web interface, there are the three small dots above the table view, and the subscribe button is hidden there - but even that defaults to sorting by title which is not what I want..

How vain are all your triumphs past,
For this set-to will be your last.

New design is online @ http://frans.today/ ๐Ÿฅ‚

Took 3 months of iterating on ideas, designing and writing my own static web generator.

There are still some things I wanna fix and mobile responsiveness is totally poop.

But I was too stoked, and wanted to get it online!
