    This is very annoying, having the Threads favicon look like there’s some notification or update. When I go to see what’s up, there’s nothing new. It’s a fixed red dot. So bye, Threads, I won’t keep your tab in the background anymore.

    It is weird not to have a follower count. Well, who cares. Vanitas, vanitatis.

    After long consideration, I finally decided to stick to a micro.blog experience and migrated my last Mastodon account to my Activity Pub micro.blog user. I think I might miss boosts, likes and lists, among other Mona-like app’s goodies, but I’m committed to giving it a good shot. Micro.blog FTW.

    I made a floating card on my home page, for a short presentation of the site, in three languages. It also shows my avatar. I wanted to put two more sections: one for a featured article, the second one for the most recent posts, but it didn’t work. I’m still happy with the result: umerez.eu

    This is how the TheBetterTouch tool for ChatGPT rewrote the former text in a better English:

    I created a floating card on my homepage to provide a brief overview of the site in three different languages. The card also displays my avatar. Although I tried to add two more sections, one for a featured article and the other for the most recent posts, I encountered difficulties in doing so. Nonetheless, I am still pleased with the overall outcome.

    Nota sobre los últimos cambios estéticos que le he hecho al blog

    A modo de recordatorio, tomo nota aquí de los cambios que he introducido en el blog estos días. He sustituido mi foto anterior por un avatar pixelado que he confeccionado en la web AVATARS IN PIXELS. He subido esta nueva imagen a mi cuenta de Gravatar. De esta forma, micro.blog se referencia por defecto al avatar de Gravatar y muestra este nuevo monigote. Para asegurarme de que esto sucede así, he borrado la fotografía que anteriormente había subido a la sección de Account de micro.

    Conforme a la nota de prensa publicada este 09 de diciembre de 2023, miembros del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo han llegado a un acuerdo político sobre el futuro Reglamento europeo que regulará las herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA). El texto acordado tendrá que ser adoptado formalmente tanto por el Parlamento como por el Consejo para convertirse en Reglamento de la UE. Los objetivos perseguidos son ambiciosos: Garantizar que los derechos fundamentales, la democracia, el estado de derecho y la sostenibilidad ambiental estén protegidos de la IA de alto riesgo.

    🚀 Please, Expose your RSS • Robb Knight

    Earlier this week I had a need to manually find a bunch of people’s RSS feed links. It seemed simple enough: go to their website and look for an RSS/Subscribe link but I was surprised to find that a lot of people don’t have a link anywhere to their feed.

    Even if people only ever add your website into their feed reader and let the app find the RSS feed (see below for more info on this), showing an RSS link reminds people that RSS exists, a win for the open web.
    (…)
    Please, expose your RSS.

    I’ve always been an RSS believer so I do have my RSS feeds exposed in my contact page, but Robb’s insight taught me the importance of writing my feeds into the head of the blog too, so I did just that.

    Thanks, Robb.

    Yeah, I blog too

    🚀 bring back the blog – The Homebound Symphony Now that the white-hot fire of Twitter is burning itself out, and its various alternatives (Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon) are generating merely gentle (or sputtering) flames, and TikTok (which is not a social-media site in any meaningful sense but rather a media-consumption platform) is still going nova, this is the time for people to rediscover the pleasures of blogging – of writing at whatever length you want, and posting photos, and embedding videos, and linking to music playlists, all on your little corner of the internet.

    Nick Cave about ChatGPT and AI, in the voice of Stephen Fry

    I still think AI will be a good tool for mortal humans and an even better creativity booster in the hands of Artists, but these words by Nick Cave deserve to be reflected upon, because the risks are enormous too.

    I had forgotten how cool Gluon by @vincent is. Reinstalled it and set it to be the default in my “open micro.blog” Shortcut. It’s a delight.

    Typora supports Mermaid diagrams and charts in Markdown

    Typora is a great Markdown tool and text editor and it never ceases to amaze me. I was trying how DEVONthink handles Mermaid to render diagrams and graphic charts in Markdown, and I opened an example file in my Markdown-tool of choice, Typora, and found that this magnificent app supports Mermaid natively. So here’s a couple of screenshots. The first one shows the Mermaid code and the resulting image: And here are more examples.

    Decoding.io is a wonderful site by Zsolt Benke

    And the last gem I found is this one, which I’m hoping will bring me a lot of note-taking joy: https://decoding.io/2023/12/bookmarked-type-take-notes-without-interrupting-your-flow/ Bookmarked “Type – Take notes without interrupting your flow” – Decoding Bookmarked “Type – Take notes without interrupting your flow” Take notes without interrupting your flow. Type lets you quickly jot things down with the timestamp attached, without interrupting your flow. Very interesting use of text files. I want to integrate this app into my workflow somehow.

    Shortcut to open Lillihub

    I made a very simple Shortcut to open Lillihub in Safari on my iPhone. It looks for a previously existing tab that may have Lillihub open and, if that’s the case, goes to that tab. If there’s none, it opens Lillihub. Once again, thanks so much to Loura for building such a nice service. #tech

    You can install and try it here;

    I can actually post from Lillihub, just as easily as micro.blog.

    It shows my categories and crossposting choices. This is great.

    Regarding crossposting, I noticed that it only shows the first of the feeds I have in my Account settings, and in my case is not my main feed. So I changed the order of my feeds so that the main one is the first in the list, and now Lillihub shows the correct crossposting choices for me.

    Thank you so much, @loura

    Want to try out a new Micro.blog web client? You’re in luck! I’d like to introduce Lillihub 🐸. It’s a delightful web app to view your timeline, make posts and keep up with conversations. You can even manage your books and bookmarks. Enjoy! 😁

    screenshot of the Lillihub Micro.blog web client. Shows timeline screen with navigation bar and the top and a colorful rainbow sidebar menu. The main column of text is a post about autumn with a picture of road with trees along the side with fall colors.
