    In the #indieweb chat there’s a helpful bot named Loqi that answers questions from the wiki and lets us add countdowns. Sometimes the bot seems like magic and there’s jokes about it gaining sentience. To that end, I apparently added a countdown in 2018 for 6 years out: “Loqi can drive.” It was something I set and forgot, so it gave me a laugh to get the countdown notification today.

    You can also “give” Loqi things and it will respond with random things, so this funny exchange happened afterward:

    gRegor gives Loqi a car
    Loqi laughs at the car
    gRegor gives Loqi a cybertruck
    Loqi gives back the cybertruck

    See, smart bot.

    I’m also convinced there’s room for another fediverse-compatible social network that handles both long and short-form content in a similar way to Substack’s articles and Notes. If someone else doesn’t build that, I will.

    Yeah, it’s weird how no one has built this and certainly no one has been actively hosting thousands of blogs with long and short-form content, a social timeline, and fediverse integration for years. 🤪

    I realize my inability to do sales holds back my career/financials a lot, but EVERY time I encounter an IRL sales person it's a nightmare and causes weeks of stress. I don't trust anyone who can manipulate people every day like this.

    in general my approach to things like webservers and email is

    a) own my domain names
    b) pick companies to run my email/website/mastodon/etc
    c) switch whenever I want

    I really appreciate the convenience of using services like fastmail/gmail/fly/netlify/github/nearlyfreespeech/etc, and I know that if things go downhill I can always switch

    I have never felt the precise mix of ire and awe that this “Millennial CAPTCHA” has left me with. It’s been days since I tried it out and I’m still disgusted and impressed with how perfectly executed it is.
