The shape of network society β€œI’m a McLuhan absolutist now.”

Network society. We're living it now. Time to figure out how to survive in it. newsletter.squishy.computer/p/the-shape-...

Portishead? Maybe a bit of Massive Attack?

Yeah agree with that, sadly anything that can be exploited seemingly will be at some point.

Yeah I also think it might be people actively wanting to try and simplify their lives and therefore reaching to spirituality in search of that. It feels like there is a collective burnout from the last decade+ of political, technological, climate exceptional events

Yes! Why do you think magic and mysticism is coming back to such mainstream culture and people’s thoughts? I’ve noticed it as well and wonder what has contributed to it.

There are almost no good words in that article, I really loved that spot!

Any Cloudflare devs here who have used the Vite plugin? Cc @kevinkipp.com

Ooh this is pretty cool. Do you have any links about lexicons and how they work?

I feel like @csswizardry.com would have some solid contacts.

Would you need to use something like React Helmet? I’m not super familiar with RR but in a lot of other frameworks there is a first party way of handling it. Because as you’ve experienced it can be pretty gnarly.

Are you using a framework/library for routing?

I like the idea of β€œspaces” similar to how Gun or Willow works at a very high level where there are public and private spaces addressable in a whole kind of global file system of sorts

I’ve been wanting to a build synchronisable sneakernet network for some time now.

I know it’s a wip but any chance you could prioritise making the docs more readable on mobile

Protocol Reader In the Fall of 2022, the word protocol was suddenly everywhere. The proximal cause was obvious: fueled, in part, by the highly visible and fractious change of ownership at Twitter, large numbers of pe...

So wait. Is this thing literally the same as twitter, just not run by a nazi-saluting oligarch?

Somebody tell me why it’s better, other than that. <3 (I actually want to know!)

I did this last year and it's ace, very much worth a go if you have a THING that you are knowledgeable and interesting about (and, ideally, if you're less white and male than me)
