@dozymoe it's not entirely clear to me. some combination of "radio" and "only half the world would be fried" https://cryptoslate.com/even-if-this-weekends-solar-storm-destroyed-civilization-bitcoin-would-survive/

@dozymoe the crypto holdings would still be safe regardless, though if they were using a hardware or other digital wallet without offline backups they could certainly run into an issue...

"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

What's a phrase that shows you were both once cool in the past, and old in the present?

Here's mine: I had a beeper in high school.

the team behind Critical Role just launched its own subscription membership service called "Beacon"

pretty cool to see a creative team trying out a new model to give them so much control over their own content/platform

I've mostly only supported them through merch/etc since I'm always hopelessly behind on current seasons and don't need the early release, but now that it's going to them directly (and hopefully encouraging them and others to try these models) it's a no brainer sub

@geewee they did/do and I'm a huge fan of it!

i'm sure it was a major and scary decision to branch out to their own platform, but the precarity of building on third-party platforms like twitch/youtube really can't be overstated

@jimcullen based on how they're describing it I haven't gotten that impression

I spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it?

@molly0xfff I’ve been very amateur-ly following Indieweb stuff the past few years, and have run my own “notes” section similar to yours - and I’m wondering if you’ve written up how yours works anyplace. It’s very nice!

@wolfsweat stay tuned! will be writing about it soon
