Right!? he was literally referring to this as an “enormous robot army” a couple weeks ago.

Feeling pretty 7 today

Vanity fair sends a free tote bag with new subscriptions lol I have no use for it. But now I might.

Nice, I can finally put that free tote bag I got with a magazine subscription to use.

I’ve got a small handful of random wallpapers I’ve collected over the years, but I’m really picky and almost always end up going with the stock wallpapers. I’m on Debian 13 and I’ve been using this one since Debian 11.

Omg I love both of those shows! Didn’t realize Wonder Showzen was made by the same guy as Xavier.

Definitely Xavier: Renegade Angel. Everyone I’ve tried to show it to irl thinks it’s the dumbest fucking show lol

I think so! I’m pretty sure they still give you 100 free searches to try it out, might be worth test driving before you pay for it. From what I understand it’s mostly Google on the back end with Kagi’s own algorithm. My favorite part about it is being able to rank how the results sort themselves based on sites you want to see more or less of, and some other pretty powerful filters. I definitely think it’s worth a shot if you’re curious.

Same! I have Wikipedia pinned as the first search result on Kagi if there’s an entry

They absolutely ruined the Sound of Silence for me

Lmao I wake up in a fucking rage any time I let it get that far

For the first alarm, I use the default iPhone setting. For the second emergency alarm, I use Entombment of a Machine by Job For A Cowboy. I already wore that song out the better part of 20 years ago and it’s guaranteed to wake you up every time

god’s plan for the apocalypse maybe lol

Honestly with how much of a reality show the US already is, I’m surprised this hasn’t been tried and televised lol

I’ve been really curious about Ghost lately! I set it up in a container on pikapods not too long ago but I ended up staying on Micro.blog. Something I really liked that I had no idea about beforehand was that they have their own little Discover feed over there right? It felt too serious for me when I mostly run an old school link/microblog kinda blog and it seems SO optimized for mailing lists and subscribers

Neocities isn’t a bad option tbh. I haven’t used it in a minute but if you’re thinking about neocities I really really liked bearblog.dev too!

That’s awesome! I’m in Ohio and he’s not coming anywhere near here on the tour lol but I did order the hardcover copy. I’m trying to hold off on the audiobook now so I can finish it as the actual book.

Hell yeah! I’ve been blogging for a couple years but I just use Micro.blog. I’d like to switch to something completely self hosted one of these days though.

I see a lot of potential for it to push people back to the small web too. Lots of people becoming interested in personal blogs lately, decentralized social media, the whole indie web movement, etc.
