'Minus is a finite social network where you get 100 posts—for life.'

It's also a work of Art by Ben Grosser who sees big tech platforms for what they really are.

He's a fan of (poking fun at) the Zuke. lol

I can do you one better than Minus, though: Delete your big social network accounts, and don't sign up to new ones of any size. 😐

Woke up to sub-70° air outside and I instantly feel better, like I can relax and finally breathe again. Endless summers have done nothing good for my mind. For some reason I crave a long winter, gray skies and cold.

Finding Inspiration Again https://write.as/matt/finding-inspiration-again

I'm thinking of moving our documentation to a more purpose-built platform / site generator, instead of the custom one we have now on https://writefreely.org/docs.

Ideally, we'd switch to a tool that supports Markdown (current docs: https://github.com/writefreely/documentation), and allows people to search.

Any recommendations?

Is it just me or is the Internet unbearably... the same?

Articles, images, content in general seems like they're all specifically catered toward algorithms and not people. And so more of the same content feels generated because clicks rule the world
