Last phrase is understatement of the century. He's a POS, that's also why POSSE is good. ;)
Last phrase highlights what investors care about. I personally hate reels and tiktok -- they should've stopped at stories.
This is what I was referring to in my earlier comment: "he's just not a very good person".
Also, don't forget to set up an RSS or Atom feed for your website. Contrary to the recurring claim that RSS is dead, most of the traffic to my website still comes from RSS feeds, even in 2̶0̶2̶5̶ 2026! In fact, one of my silly little games became moderately popular because someone found it in my RSS feed and shared it on HN. [1] From the referer (sic) data in my web server logs (which is not completely reliable but s…
Is there any reason today to use RSS over Atom? Atom sounds like it has all the advantages, except maybe compatibility with some old or stubborn clients?
You should just use Atom.
I guess it could just be done as a multi phase post, as janky as that is.

To me it just validates the history of Facebook Did he/didn't he steal? Dunno, though there's a fair few bits of evidence in the various lawsuits (Winklevoss, Greenspan) But if you didn't know about any of that you could make some inferences. Like his neverending "ooh, shiny new thing, want" (and then lie to people along the way, trick Indians into signing up for your internet.org thing) I was willing to take his sid…
>But if you didn't know about any of that you could make some inferences. Like his neverending "ooh, shiny new thing, want" (and then lie to people along the way, trick Indians into signing up for your internet.org thing) Yeah, that trying to trick Indians into that thing (IIRC, it was also called Free Basics or something like, to sound attractive, prolly) became a big issue in India at the time, I remember, although…

I just wanted to learn how to create an enterprise grade web application. I read a book on Django last year and did a few tutorials and enjoyed it. I also deploy infra on gcp and it works well there. It cost about $60/month for baseline hosting with light traffic/storage. I will probably use it for an interface for some of my ml projects. I was also looking into dart/flutter a much steeper learning curve for me perso…
$60/mo for a personal website is insane.
A problem I would like to see solved, is how I can post something on my site first, but still use BlueSky as a commenting platform. I guess it could just be done as a multi phase post, as janky as that is.

This is pretty much how I began developing websites too. Except it was 2001 instead of 2026. And it was ASP (the classic ASP that predates ASP.NET) instead of Python. And I had a Windows 98 machine in my dorm room with Personal Web Server (PWS) running on it instead of GCP. It could easily have been a static website, but I happened to stumble across PWS, which came bundled with a default ASP website. That is how I go…

Personally, I prefer using webmentions. I got them back to my site using a combination of services, so if someone talk about a post I made in bluesky or mastodon, I usually get a webmention back to the post.
Does anyone know of any mobile friendly static site generators?
I think I have about 3000 blog articles between Substack and Blogspot.
Q: While I agree strongly with the philosophy of this article, and twice I have set up static site generators for blogs hanging underneath my top level personal domain markwatson.com, each time I cause I could only blog when sitting at my computer, not when I was using an iPad or iPhone (I limit my daily time at a computer to just a few writing and coding sprints, otherwise I literally put my laptop away - out of sig…
