    this is a good point, but I can't help but think for profit insurance is hastening it. maybe that's okay. maybe we should give these places up

    we have a similar problem with flood insurance in Louisiana. I see this problem as part climate change, part for profit insurance ... but I'm sure it's more complicated

    I find it remarkably ironic that this essay about how AI is like an awful coworker uses an AI-generated image as its hero. EDIT ... ok so maybe the stock image site isn't ai generated? I maintain...

    EDIT ... ok so maybe the stock image site isn't ai generated? I maintain that it's confusing and that they should include a statement making the fact explicit. but in this case I might have been being over cynical, sorry everyone

    I'm a huge fan of the small web --- though I do a lot of stuff off-the-Web, like IRC, XMPP, shared shell, etc. For those, tilde.town is A+, as well as the wider tildeverse. I would actually argue...

    I'm a huge fan of the small web --- though I do a lot of stuff off-the-Web, like IRC, XMPP, shared shell, etc. For those, tilde.town is A+, as well as the wider tildeverse. I would actually argue that Hacker News isn't the small web, since it's got a lot of content and comments focusing on big web stuff like Meta, Twitter, kubernetes, etc. I would say the Fediverse is small web though even though, like, Mastodon is a heavy site, because it's focused on community-building (at least the parts I'm on).

    So I guess I'm saying I think the small web is more about community as opposed to capital. And that's what I like about it.

    awesome, thank you! do you think you could share yours? I'm curious as to what it looks like... all I can picture is basically config files wrapped in another layer of config
