Yeah, you're really gonna see which companies are just gonna allow the AI to scrape all their stuff now. I'm a copyleft/creative commons kinda guy. But if you have art that you don't want stolen, the answer is simple.

MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE and put your art there (edit: and use that Glaze type of stuff on your art that wrecks AI, just to be sure)! Neocities is SO easy to set up! Or your own domain and hosting via porkbun, GoDaddy (non-WordPress) - anything at all other than proprietary/walled stuff!

Making good progress the last couple days going through and organizing links. I threw a bunch on a spreadsheet and have been sorting and filtering. My wife has really helped with some great ideas along the way. (she's GENIUS with data stuff).

Sorting links is tedious and time consuming but it's something I've needed to do for a long time. It was also something I needed to do BEFORE I finish writing the couple blog posts I'm in the middle of - great to dig up some of this stuff for resources.

Lots of great indie web stuff, etc. 🔥

Good summation of the current weird, rewilding state of the web (and tech) from surprisingly, Rolling Stone (a little weird he calls it 'Dungeons and Dragons' rules for instances, but here we are). And it mentions @stefan too!

"..for the truly sick freaks of online, well, you can make the thing you want."

GREAT Verge piece.

"What would the internet of people look like now?"

https://birdga.me is awesome. Play around with that one! 🐦

https://ooh.directory is a GREAT searchable directory of over 1900 blogs!

https://rotatingsandwiches.com is fairly pointless. But I like a LOT of pointless things. Heck, it looks nice, and it definitely delivers what it promises. 🥪

Tiny websites have always fascinated me, along with internet web portals (which haven't been a thing for many years-- at least in the way we used to know them). I'm talking a simple HTML page with just a graphic or two, and a bunch of links. Something that might resemble the early days of Yahoo, etc.

The idea for this site I made has been buzzing around in my head for a while now. It is NOT responsive, there is NO JavaScript, and there's just a TINY bit of CSS. The whole site (one HTML page) is only about 9kb!

A simple site like this one might look primitive compared to some of the huge, complicated websites we see as standard on the internet today, but this site is guaranteed to work on any browser or device.

I used links for sites/documents that I frequent or use a lot, and mixed in my own personal projects for fun. It's a super simple page-- mostly for my own usage. But I really love the design of it!

I call it 'Mr Beamer's Old Timey Web Portal' 😂

EDIT: I moved it to Neocities! ⬇️
