I think this sentence is one of the best I have read in recent months. On the subject of ChatGPT Dan McQuillan says 'Instead of expressing wonder, we should be asking whether it's justifiable to burn energy at "eye watering"[1] rates to power the world's largest bullshit machine.'

'Elon Musk indicates Twitter’s character limit is about to jump from 280 to 4,000' - forget where I saw this but any time you would like to make this happen it would be very welcome... I don't want to have to adapt my Indieweb posts as I POSSE 😀. #indieweb #POSSE

When you are building a Micropub capability on your indieweb site and you have too many post types to add and too little time - which are the most important? 😀 I've kept it easy so far, replies and likes - basic social capabilities - but I'm excited to do something more creative with reviews, favourites or something to do with one of my hobbies. #indieweb #micropub

So I don't want to use Twitter in the browser, with ads and an interface I just don't want to be forced to use. Currently using email notifications on an adhoc basis as the UI now - obviously far from ideal - what are other people doing? Obviously anything I post goes to my own Indieweb website first and any silo's after. Clearly I'm on Mastodon and enjoying! #mastodon #twitter

I have finally taken the first step towards implementing my own Micropub endpoint. Only notes (what I for some reason prefer to call posts) currently provisioned for but I can see the attraction of opening up my possibilities for adding content to my own site (and from there to re-posting in the silos). Feels good to bring the dev skills back online (albeit slowly - and wow the code is brittle right now) 😀 #indieweb #micropub

It's an obvious one but I'm certainly getting some pleasure out of using Webmentions as a way of updating posts or other artefacts when I forget to do something obvious such as add a link for something - I've always hated update in place. #indieweb #webmention

There is a feeling of great satisfaction to be had when in addition to doing your bidding as you use it in your daily work your computer is busy working hard on something else for you at the same time. In this case using Whisper by OpenAI to transcribe all those little notes I've made to myself while walking or generally away from ⌨️. This is happening locally on my Mac and I feel like I finally have a minion 🤓. #openai #whisper

I'd heard of gravity energy before but now I've encountered underground gravity energy storage (UGES) https://rb.gy/j7zrwz I'm prepared to get geeky about this 🤓 #uges

Thanks to some inspiration from the IndieWeb community (@aaronpk, @capjamesg, @tmichellemoore) I have added Webmention to my site - currently only replies which I'm finding useful for commenting when relevant on my own posts also. #indieweb

Too much raw data is moving, obscuring the route to resolving issues in the real world - why is that? I'm interested in finding a better way to use information to resolve a subset of real world problems, without large and complex ontologies, without semantics bleeding across boundaries, without lock-in, without stifling innovation, without feeding 'big data' platforms or 'monism'. #signals

Taking back control of my tiny web corner. Happy to be back into Microformats a decade later and this time combining it with Indieweb. So far I have my own domain www.axiomeval.me (WIP), digital ID, freedom from silos and there is more to come :-) #microformats #indieweb
