#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️)

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

⏲️ the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025 ⏲️

hello my name is Generic Image Generator, would you like me to generate an SVG of a little man that is 8GB in size?
AI generated vector graphics might be the most obvious clue that generated images are god damn terrible but that doesn't stop every vector graphics program and website from pushing them (which might be the most obvious clue that "AI" is an economic bubble)
i want to talk about 2001 A Space Odyssey in an audio post but I'm afraid it'll end up being like 3 hours long. because I have a lot to say.
I should put all the funny 88x31 buttons back on my site. The only reason they are gone is because I accidentally deleted the buttons.txt file that listed them all. And now I'm gonna have to dig out all the buttons again and re-write all the alt text. Sigh
If it took me a day of diving through wikipedia articles to find the answer to a question i would still do this rather than ask AI. What if it's lying to me
i wish NASA's blogs kept rss feeds but the ones from the header all stopped in like 2022
