Checking out the new Reeder App which has support for Micro.blog alongside RSS, Mastodon, and other feeds. Very interesting!
Atlanta City Council bans data centers along Beltline - Rough Draft Atlanta
The Atlanta City Council voted Tuesday to ban data centers along and near the Atlanta Beltline and within a half-mile of MARTA stations.
Interesting and unexpected. I’m in favor of this. Data centers are an important part of our digital infrastructure, but there’s no good reason to locate them near the city center or areas of high population.
Is my blue your blue? I got hue 179 which is bluer than 84% of the population.
@samgrover Amazing! Thank you for implementing this!

Testing out Threads cross posting from Micro.blog!
@manton If you are looking for more testers, I’d love to give it a go. I’m dfj225 on Threads.
@samgrover Thanks for considering!
I do review the AI generated text and usually I find its pretty good with a few light edits or maybe some detail that I know but would be impossible to get from the photo alone.
I think a batch generate and review flow would be ideal!
@maique I’ve also been using the combo of Drafts + Mimi for Micro.blog and really enjoying that combo. It works well for me, even for really long posts with lots of photos. The only thing I wish for in Mimi is a way to automatically generate AI alt-text for every image.
@manton Holy moly, that sounds like quite the migration. I really do hope they blog about it. The blogging engine, I can see how that might port to WordPress, but the social aspects of Tumblr...that seems like a big challenge. But maybe that part is out of scope?
Switched my site’s footer over to the IndieWeb Webring 🕸️💍, check it out on doug.pub!
In Philly for the weekend. I really like how Halide rendered the lighting in this photo.
My favorite part of the Atlanta airport. Also, an excuse to try out Halide’s Process Zero.
@amerpie I have! My problem is I can’t remember my exact screen name or url I published at. Tried some things from my memory but it didn’t turn up any results.
@amerpie Geocities was my start with building on the web! I have many fond memories. Sadly, my old sites are lost to time. But that’s probably for the best, haha

@pratik Would love to attend a conference with decent coffee. Some conferences, they take the coffee away as soon as it hits 11am and that always seemed cruel to me. Don’t they know I need it to get through a long conference day?!
Slug on a shroom.
@maique Congrats!
And your previous post convinced me to buy a few g-shocks, so thank you and also, curse you!
@512px While they are in there deleting the bad drivers…maybe delete the rest of CrowdStrike’s software too.
@pratik Terrible name! People I know who work with this kind of software have a bad impression of CrowdStrike even before this outage. Imagine they will lose lots of customers over this.
@amerpie I’m just getting online and seeing the news, it’s wild! Glad you don’t have to deal with this!
@bobwertz That’s so cool! Must have been fun to have access to a college network during the birth of the web!
Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
Ladybird uses a brand new engine based on web standards, without borrowing any code from other browsers. It started as a humble HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby project, but since then it’s grown into a full cross-platform browser project supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.
Cool!! Was not expecting to see a new, from scratch, browser engine come into existence!
@ActionRetro I kinda miss this era of UI design!
@Westenberg | RSS: The forgotten protocol that still matters
Using an RSS reader restores a sense of deep satisfaction, control and personal connection to the web that many folks have forgotten - or never experienced in the first place. RSS makes you the curator, the arbiter of your own attention.
I ❤️ RSS
Trying to work on my next Travel Report from the train, but I can’t get the WiFi to activate and I have 60 (?!) photos I want to upload. 5g cell is too inconsistent to upload this many photos.
