For my newsletter I decided on Ghost as a platform. This post from its co-founder will help you understand why:

This says it all, about #ghost as a publishing platform:

● "Structured as an independent non-profit organisation. No owners, outside investors, no ulterior motivations, no conflicts of interest."

● "A sustainable revenue model with official, managed hosting. Not a giant venture-scale startup, just a simple business."

I don't use a screenreader but I've read that ghost isn't good for screenreaders. Is this true or am I misremembering?

Undemocratic total power is what they want... only the government can change this perversion. Tax the rich. Progressively.

Abro Edge, abro Copilot y formulo una pregunta para saber que cliente de escritorio recomienda para leer RSS.

Me responde con varias aplicaciones, y ofrece a la vez los enlaces oportunos.

Pero sistemáticamente salta la sorpresa : antivirus dice que esos enlaces mejor no entrar.

Resultado : Windows y Copilot son fuentes nativas de virus. Y gracias.

A las pantallas me refiero.



Please reflect on this.

Voyager 1 “turned off its primary X-band radio transmitter and instead switched over to its secondary S-band radio transmitter, which uses less power.” Then sent us a message. From 15 billion miles away.

It sounds like AI, but it’s not. It’s a space craft we launched in 1977. That’s FOURTY-SEVEN years ago.

We did this. For all our flaws, we do some spectacular things. I have to remember this.

thank you too! I reckon that on a grand scale, we're all probably orbiting *something*, and the Voyager craft were sent out to see what's out there. I feared I might have missed some big news. ;)

“Shuriken.”

“Great, what is it called?”



Interesting post on bluesky pseudo-decentralization, the tech bros of the valley, and as a filigran, capitalism :)
