Lifeworld, by Oneohtrix Point Never from the album Tranquilizer

That’s why distributed, many people sending one request will not qualify as unfounded or excessive

DDoB (Distributed Denial of Business) - a malicious attempt to disrupt a business by overwhelming it with a flood of GDPR data subject access requests, draining legal and operational resources

The eternal loneliness of a man wandering in a finished game

Ideal humane algorithm behavior:
- track post views only so you can notify people who viewed a post later proven fake (age-old issue: the headline hits the front page, the correction ends up on the last)
- base suggestions only on likes - so I control what I would see, not system guessing

big tech social apps algorithms don’t even need you to open a post anymore. Leave it on your screen a few seconds longer than usual and you’re pushed into suggestion hell.

And I really need "It was a mistake, forget I was here" button on youtube, tired of opening videos in incognito mode

#atproto could potentially become a future replacement for RSS. With projects like @standard.site and native permissioned data it could fix main RSS limitations like discovery, interactions, monetization

18EDO Bailiff, by Clark from the album Steep Stims

Microtonal music feels like a stronger drug

Customizable interactive side panel for logues.. distant future plans

I never met a real fan of touch-sensitive buttons (maybe one new Audi owner, but he is just protective - these cars became a big touch-slop). And I don't remember when last time big corps did something lately to not just cut costs. If I can't find these people, where Apple finds them?

touch/rub/tap-sensitive interfaces (even with haptic feedback) being more cost-efficient to produce than dumb physical buttons - where progress failed us

And of course the whole project will follow @standard.site lexicons. Interoperability, openness, and decentralization are core priorities

Social networks killer on atproto logue.is is progressing. UI is artisanal for now, but UX is something I can kill hours on

Why do we have all these LLM benchmarks if all people want is just a pelican riding a bicycle...

So the best path for great ideas is: implement it, get users, evolve, break, rebuild, break again and repeat until it is perfect and then hand it over to W3C...

And then there’s ActivityPub. When you’re designing a social networking protocol it probably makes sense to involve companies that actually run social networks at scale - but that wasn’t the case.

OpenID Connect as example. RFCs had so much room for open interpretations that every new provider you add ends up coming with its own quirks

And the fact that it is currently driven by a single company is great, because from my experience when open protocols/standards start out in consorciums/stardands-orgs - they usually fail to establish a "hard", fully interoperatable standard

Love the tech behind bluesky and atproto. The overall decentralized design clicks fast and makes so much sense, I think because it lines up well with scaling approaches you deal with in everyday backend jobs

The harnessing and infra they have built for this to work - this is the real future product. Today's Agents.mds, Skills, MCPs, etc. - are small building blocks that somebody should organize and pack in a complete, opinionated, modular mega-full-stack blueprint

illustration of how the green economy works. They don't even plant a tree for every .green domain sold

Startup idea: copyright laundering as a service. Your company trains LLMs and provides "api" to upload your "training material". 1 hour later you ask LLM to give it back and it generates absolutely the same code, free of licences and attributions, completely legal

So next time you see a text with typos, slurs, factual inconsistencies (ok not that one) - just appreciate it, this man did a real job

It reminds me about soviet poets. Official, state-approved authors were writing in a dictated, "intellectual" language.
But some self-published poets with simpler, direct and even aggressive style became more popular and loved.

My brain is resisting to focus on texts that are obviously AI-generated.
Even at work, a simple "good job!" expanded to "I’m genuinely enthusiastic about this step, especially because it’s deeply rooted in a results-oriented, revenue-focused mission".... come on man, I'm not reading this shit
