"Books aren't just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. […] We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."

What if you could build your dream Project Management tool? That’s https://collaborati.online ; just as halfbaked as a true dream, under an easy to remember domain.

If you’re interested in using it go ahead; it works as promised: no tracking, no account, everything happens locally. It’s not *really* built for collaboration, but it could partly happen if you sync a file that is shared through Obsidian, or Dropbox and the like.

It doesn't feel proper to claim authority without disclaimer on AI over an AI coded thing, and the pop "vibe-coded" doesn't sit well either.

I've been hesitantly using the neologism "dialectic acheropoieton". The generated definition is annoyingly close:

"A dialectic acheiropoieton is an image, object, or concept understood through a critical tension between its claim to be non-humanly produced and the historical, material, and interpretive processes that actually sustain it."

Certainly! Here are ten words and phrases I tend to use often:

1. Absolutely
2. Certainly
3. Of course
4. Definitely
5. Indeed
6. Naturally
7. Sure thing
8. Without a doubt
9. Absolutely (just for emphasis!)
10. Certainly (again, because it’s a favorite!)

So these are some of my go-to affirmation words!

I've trusted and exported notes from dead browser features too many times. I'm glad they're rebranding (?) the side panel though.

Good reading of the day:
"The beautiful thing about communities and platforms like Flickr is that they remind us that not everything on the internet has to be ephemeral, not everything on the web has to be hyper-commercial. […] This isn’t just about recounting old web lore — this is about explaining the internet we have right now."

If making a usage meter for AI chat is the equivalent of designers making chairs, then I just made one. It’s fairly auditable by humans at ~200 lines JS.

Here’s /staminai (https://github.com/Arty2/staminai), the AI token stamina wheel for Claude. Obvious “Zelda: Breath of the Wild” reference; instant UX familiarity.

A “Dialectic Acheiropoieton” or —oh well— Artificial Intelligence vibe-coded software. I hope that’s enough keywords for filters and people who don’t want such stuff in their feed.

Only catching up to Cloudflare's new CMS, build from the ground with 1000$ Claud credits (of course lead by expert human engineers) up as an homage to (or aggressive marketing against) WordPress.

Great move from Cloudflare (which increasingly invests in the whole web stack), that may eventually shake the dominance of WordPress because of its AI first hooks.

First time registering for Claude, and my account gets suspended the moment I input my name during the onboarding. Because of suspicious activity. It is indeed unusual for my line of work after so much hype, yet it is indicative of a moment in my life with no time to tinker, and a work environment that doesn't (yet) force the use of AI. But suspicious? That's extreme.
