Just came across this old rudimentary Pen, but it does OK explaining the difference between these ways of handling events that happen a ton.

Your Own Newspaper, Orย Not You've likely heard me go on about how much I like an encourage using an RSS reader. Molly White frames it nicely: What if you could take all your favorite newsletters, ditch the data collection, and curate your own newspaper? It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone else who publishes online. Even podcast episodes, videos from your favorite YouTube channels, and online forum posts could slot in, too.

Impact of AI on Tech Content Creators Wes on Syntax: I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websiteโ€ฆ

This article by @chriscoyier.net does a great job of expressing how AI is disincentivizating content creatation.

Seems the end game here is bad for everyone, including AI tools, which loose up to date resources to steal... I mean use for research.

The Figcaption Problem When an image isn't

Last week, @kevinpowell.co highlighted the Bluesky question I asked about a figcaption problem and the article I wrote to document the answers. This week, @chriscoyier.net referenced it and added some great thoughts as he dug deeper into the solutions.

I feel @chriscoyier.net captures the tension of current climate of content creation very well. Money is just one incentive.

Yeah makes sense.

Also thinking someone watching vertical on a big monitor is less annoying than horizontal on a small screen.
