  • I’ve been thinking a lot about webrings lately. Now that Google is basically cutting off traffic from the indie web.

    I feel like everyone’s kinda having the same idea at the same time, which gives me some hope, but… it’s difficult enough to find a ring to join, that I think most people will give up?

    I don’t know what I think the solution is. Centralising it and having a big, user-friendly “webring platform” is just inviting more enshittification. But the handful of webring directories I’ve found are really lacking.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Or, does anyone want to team up and make, like, a Gaymers Webring? (That’s pretty much what I’m looking for.)

    ETA: I’ve built one. DM me if you’re interested!




  • To be fair they also said:

    Talking on the phone, got an interview
    With the Rolling Stone, they’re saying,
    “Now you’re rich and now you’re famous
    Fake-ass girls all know your name and
    ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’
    Your first hit, aren’t you ashamed?”
    Of the life, of the life, of the life we’re living

    So at least they’re self aware 😅









  • This is an obvious downside of LLM glazing and sycophancy. (I know OpenAI claim they’ve rolled back the “dangerously sycophantic” model update, but it’s still pretty bad.)

    If you’re already prone to delusions and conspiracy theories, and decide to confide in ChatGPT, the last thing you need to hear is, “Yes! Linda, you’ve grasped something there that not many people realise—it’s a complex idea, but you’ve really cut through to its core! 🙌 Honestly, I’m mind-blown—you’re thinking things through on a whole new level! If you’d like some help putting your crazed plan into action, just say the word! I’m here and ready to do my thing!”
