A place where I collect my thoughts and experience on the Web.

Here lies the things I've liked, bookmarked or interacted with across the Web (and beyond). Some people call them reactions or replies - I consider them my feedback back to the Web from my site.

@jalcine@todon.eu I don’t think that it was purely a tech thing - the Sears Catalog was discontinued in 1993, and Amazon was founded in 1994. They were born a catalog company, but their executives of the 80s and 90s tried to turn them into a mediocre financial services company, failed at that, and to the end were absolutely convinced, at the dawn of the internet, that people really wanted to go into their stores.

Microblog
My microblog is where I post quick notes or semi-formed posts. Things that don't quite fit into what I'd consider a blog post but also would need a permalink.
So https://awakari.com/articles/awakari-goes-social/index.html links to https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge?tab=readme-ov-file#rant which I agree with: we should be able to use open protocols to get to content. What I disagree with is the seeming ignorance towards consent. I'll publish things over RSS, but I'll definitely create separate feeds for protected content. I'm not of the ilk that "the Internet owns your content when you publish" and think that mirrors a really underlying problem of liberalism in tech.
Every time there's a Neovim update, I'm glad that I can remove options and mappings, since the more sensible defaults get upstreamed. https://gpanders.com/blog/whats-new-in-neovim-0.10/.
Being able to see the AST of anything you're working on is maybe more useful for editing configuration files (and debugging them) or using some Lisp language than my daily work on TypeScript (and evening on Rust).
Modifiers for terminals landing is excellent! Mapping Q to re-play the last macro is great!
This could solve an issue for federated identity for the Fediverse!
