The niche can be an advantage to get an audience. This is great to build a business, SEO traffic or monetize quickly.

However, if the primarily goal is to write a variety of interests, enjoy the creative process, or build a personal publication, a broader blog can be better.

It offers greater freedom and authenticity. Theses blogs existed long before SEO-driven emphasis. The readers often follow writers for their perspective and quality of writing. That's the difference with the mainstream content.

I find again the same main ideas across blog posts:

• blogging helps clarify the thinking
• the writing is permanent
• you own it
• it improves the writing over time
• it can lead to unexpected opportunities
• it self-documentation
• it can be helpful to others
• the process is itself rewarding

“Le problème n’est pas seulement que les gens n’ont pas ‘assez’ économisé — c’est que le seuil du ‘suffisant’ ne cesse d’augmenter.” Dans ce contexte, partir devient moins un désir qu’une nécessité : “Pour les baby-boomeurs qui se sentent exclus de la retraite qu’on leur avait promise dans leur pays, partir à l’étranger n’est plus un fantasme de mode de vie – cela devient rapidement la seule manière pour que l’équation fonctionne.”

Le problème est bien là: le suffisant ne cesse d'augmenter.

Imaginez les retraites des prochaines années.

Attribute creep and excessive use of foreign keys shows me is that in order to use ORMs effectively, you still need to know SQL. My contention with ORMs is that, if you need to know SQL, just use SQL since it prevents the need to know how non-SQL gets translated to SQL.

I’ve found myself thinking about the database as just another data type that has an API: the queries. The queries return values of some type, which are represented as some object in the program. By moving away from thinking of the objects in my application as something to be stored in a database (the raison d’être for ORMs) and instead thinking of the database as a (large and complex) data type, I’ve found working with a database from an application to be much simpler. And wondering why I didn’t see it earlier.

Alternatives:

• Fastmail instead of Gmail
• INWX (and own a domain) instead of substack.com
• Mastodon and a bit of Bluesky instead of Twitter
• Nextcloud instead of Google Drive
• Collabora instead of Google Docs
• Immich instead of Google Photos (with Google Takeout https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/photos). Ente seems also a good alternative.
• Nextcloud Deck and Nextcloud Collectives instead of Notion.
• Forgejo (or Codeberg as german forgejo isntance)
• Web search: not so much great alternatives. Kagi (but US-based), DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant
• Firefox instead of Chrome. Hope for Servo or Ladybird.
• Qobuz instead of Spotify. Also an owned Jellyfin streaming server.
• Nextcloud Polls instead of Google Forms

How Google is slowly killing the web and

If you do care about the web, about people’s ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don’t use the Chrome browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment where your access to information is limited to what Google’s synthetic text extruders deem relevant.

About learning between humans, it seems. Josh W. Comeau receently shared that the last course "sell roughly 1/3 as many copies as a typical course launch. [...] There's sort of a double whammy with AI:

1. Many people are wondering whether developer jobs will even exist in a few months.
2. Even if they do want to learn new dev skills, LLMs can provide personalized tutoring so there's less incentive to buy a paid course.

The entire vibe has shifted. The majority of [community] folks are still on Twitter but there’s so much AI grifting and misery and hate in that place. LinkedIn is a parody of itself at this point. Bluesky feels reasonably cosy but way too much of a bubble. The community isn’t there. The forums are dead, the new Discord is quiet.

A UI kit to get a website running

This website is original.

At QRidian, we function as a digital layer superimposed onto the physical world. We specialise in transforming ordinary outdoor spaces, such as parks, woodlands, and heritage sites, into interactive, story-driven adventures through the use of our QRidian Engine, bespoke physical maps and markers.

It's an escape game company, but using the world instead of some buildings.

The website has this comic style UI.

The website showcases important emails.

Email is unlike any other medium in the world.
With just an address, anyone can talk to anyone, no matter their location, status, or class.
It's democratized access and a sacred privilege.
This is a collection of the most impactful messages in the history of email.

But the most troubling part of this story is Apple’s terrible handling of the issue. Murphy reported the bug in June 2024, and Apple responded a month later, saying they had launched an internal investigation. Then, in March of this year, they announced they’d fixed the issue—except they hadn’t. Murphy checked, and the flaw was still there. So in May, Apple changed its tune and flat-out told him to shut up, but the most annoying thing about this whole situation is the crappy handling of it: “We would appreciate it if you wouldn’t disclose this information until our investigation is complete.” In short, just shut up while we do nothing to fix it ^^.
