  • About my studio

    https://lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artists-notebook/posts/about-my-studio

    I’ve rented a couple of actual artist’s studios in my time. The first was when I was living in the Earlsdon area of Coventry around 1992–1994 - it was a spare room above a gallery in a converted…

  • The Case For Comments

    https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/comments-use-case

    Given that comments can be controversial on the indie web, it’s worth pointing out the use cases for comment sections as a feature. Comment sections are particularly suited to allowing for brief high-context replies, supporting public multi-way interactions, setting a (relatively) lower threshold for participation, and allowing the blogger to define the parameters for a discussion. These are use cases that cannot all be adequately addressed by commonly-suggested alternatives such as response posts or email.

    Leyendo el post de EAPL, algo me pegó duro. 100% de acuerdo en que últimamente la vida digital se siente rara. Como incómoda. Como si ya no fuera un lugar para conectar o compartir cosas, sino un lugar para engancharte y exprimirte tantito cada día. Puedo confirmar que me pasa mucho esto de caer en...

  • How Online Privacy Has Been Championed by Dreamwidth

    https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/dreamwidth-fights-for-privacy

    If you care about privacy on the web, then you should care about how anti-privacy laws have been challenged by Dreamwidth. Its unique role in these legal battles hasn’t been getting any dedicated press coverage, and so it falls to people like us to spread the word: Dreamwidth is proactively going to court against anti-privacy laws and highlighting itself as a positive example in order to show how these laws are predicated on assumptions that don’t apply.

  • Which Part of the Indie Web Ethos is the Bigger Priority?

    https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/indie-web-priorities

    Although normally spoken about as a cohesive whole, different aspects of the indie web ethos can wind up in tension with each other, which raises the question of which one ultimately takes priority. On the one hand, we have the general interest in onboarding, i.e. helping more people onto the indie web; on the other hand, the issue of onboarding can place some strain on other commonly touted ideals. At the end of the day, which form of independence matters most? And what does the answer entail for our understanding of who the indie web is “for”?
