Whoop! My non-electronic copy of @xandra's "good internet" zine has arrived from the USA :)
I love the notion of the #SmallWeb, so small/indie publishing? Yes, please!

A while back, I left this open in a tab on my phone and then forgot about it. I believe it has to be at least a few years old, because it doesn't even mention chatbots or "AI", which is to say, the message on the site is even more relevant: you cannot be yourself when you are watched.
While everything is indeed horrible, you are not obligated to solely focus on the horror. The availability of a constant stream of bad news does not make that news valuable by itself. Paying constant attention is not "doing something." So if the information isn't actionable, filter it.

Again, and I can’t stress this enough, it’s pronounced “nucular”. #IranIsraelWar
A scientist told me
the real story
is the unfolding of climate change.
And a doctor told me
the real story
is the ongoing pandemic.
And an activist told me
the real story
is the rise of fascism.
And a historian told me
the real story
is that these are all the same story.

New from 404 Media: the age of realtime deepfake fraud is here. Scammers in Nigeria are using realtime deepfakes to change their race, facial hair, gender, more to appear as someone else on video calls. Results very realistic now. Also tricking verification systems https://www.404media.co/the-age-of-realtime-deepfake-fraud-is-here/
Humans independently edit Wikipedia for humans. They don’t have any Ads or cannot be bullied into removing content. Wikipedia is free from AI slop. No wonder tech bros with AI companies want to eliminate it so that their fake AI text generator can show or push propaganda. Please do not let Wikipedia die. It is an independent source and far more reliable than Gen AI companies. It is a real shame that it comes to this.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
My non-algo feed on @Mastodon that is time-based and enhanced by boosts from people I follow is the most enjoyable method for consuming social posts and it improves my mental health versus how every other platform approaches it. I pretty much use Mastodon >90% of the time now.
It’s worth taking the time to slowly build your network and liberally mute, unfollow, and block who you don’t like. I’m on a single-person instance and I was able to do it.
Of all the disappointments this year, discovering how much smaller #poptarts have become is among the top of my list. I hate #shrinkflation
