My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.
I cannot search three words in quotes.
Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.
And now we have this.

Hello! I’m drawing very single character from The Simpsons, in order. This week I hit a major milestone, finishing the second season, reaching over 500 characters in total. Here’s every new character we met in season 2.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far. You’re the best.

I might've gone a little overboard, but here's 3,500 words on social media, how to make it better, what's so awesome about Bluesky's protocol, and why I'm particularly excited about @leaflet.pub as showing the future of publishing. (Plus some feature suggestions to make Leaflet damn near perfect.)
Leaflet, Blogging, and How to Fix Social Media

I've always been a critic of "Stoicism for the military" events and talks. I think the military often abuses a philosophy whose core aspects include cosmopolitanism and that pushes people to do the right thing, especially against power.

Leaflet keeps adding cool stuff and feels more and more like the future of blogging for the Bluesky/AT Protocol ecosystem. (And I say that entirely unbiased by the fact that my blog is currently the 21st most popular on the platform...)
New in Leaflet Publications: subpages!
One of our favorite features from Leaflet docs, now available to turn your blog posts into…
…collections? wikis? project logs? zines? essays with twisty tangents? or other complex creative branching forms :)

I always find it kind of funny that I have to create a different Documents folder because every application decides it's a good practice to fill the official one with their crap.
