I finally have a tiny home on the internet again, dedicated to what I am passionate about, and filled with what I am reading, writing, and working on (coming soon).
This is not just a designer's portfolio it is a representation of myself. I got inspired by loads of folks, but especially @matthiasott, his posts and newsletter has been among the driving forces to finish my personal website. 😊 #indieweb
I also set up a newsletter on #buttondown called Datest (https://buttondown.email/philipp) which I will write casually to share updates about my site, writings, and interesting links.
#Flathub deserves a set of more performant and native applications than being attributed to a page in #Discord's playbook. Stay with me: are we really just going to blindly accept #privacy flaws of this messenger and promote it at the same time?
The fact that it only has got to the head of Discord it's long overdue to verify this popular #Flatpak distribution, I think, is worth a comment on itself, but I'll digress. It is nice that #OpenSource enthusiasts made arrangements for this verification and I have zero disagreements with the result. I'm just stupified that, in all this effort, Discord is treated like some spoon-fed royal baby - at least, according to reactions I see.
So, what was it... Flathub already had a library of nice actively developed #FOSS#applications before these news. I don't see the point in exaggerating the scales on some centralized chat thingabob with well-known #ToS and #telemetry problems, that's all. Thank you for visiting my #dRBBoard talk! ❤
Oh, what a dummy, sweet summer child me... Entrusting one feature (that goes astray from #SynchronousSoftware and VoIP nature which this piece of garbage was supposed to keep focus on) with link aggregation and presentation: I'm speaking of Discord's forum threads.
After a week of quality time with #Matrix, I return to #dRCS "server" (Discord's term for group) to check up on #forum channels. Lurking, scrolling through this joke of a bulletin board in search of older posts proved futile. Most of the #threads are simply gone! It took me long enough to make these pretty cards, now for them to evaporate without any communication from Discord...
You know what? I'm done with #CentralizedPlatforms that bite more than they can chew, all the while trashing my content! #Discord, #Reddit - shut the front door!!!
I could post this showcase of links on #Kbin or potential #PersonalBlog - now I know this better. Hello, #devRant. Welcome #dRBB, my cool abode!
I am only two blog posts into my blogging adventure and already (again) at a point where I'm doubting I have anything to say.
I am working on several texts at the same time, because that's how my brain seems to like it. And all they are, are opinions on things I don't have any real knowledge about except my experience as a consumer. I feel like I don't have the right to write and publish texts about them.
I should probably dig a little deeper and write a blog post about this very problem. 😆
