I split my time between three accounts:
- Morning thoughts and dog pix: @trevorfsmith
- Maker/machinist/manufacturer chitchat: @trevorflowers@machines.social
- Web-ish XR for Transmutable News: @trevorflowers@widerweb.org
The EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of your private communication β or total surveillance in the name of child protection. This would be the worst surveillance apparatus outside of China:

I'm happy to introduce our new ultra-low tech CMS for smol, accessible websites. The goal was to make something that could be self-hosted, but friendly enough for people who don't SFTP or use a terminal. 3 PHP files, Apache, and Gemtext. Should work on any dumb old Apache host; a technical person could manage many of these for friends and family with zero maintenance. Happy to answer any questions or take bug reports.
And of course toot provides a TUI for Mastodon:

@trevorfsmith Also, viu is a tool that renders images into your terminal. Neat!

"A jiffy is actually a long time to the computer. It can perform upwards of 8000 machine cycles in that time. Think of what can be done in the VBLANK interval (one jiffy). In human terms, a jiffy can be upwards of 20 minutes, as witnessed in the phrase ''I'll be ready in a jiffy." Compare this to the oft-quoted phrase, ''I'll be there in a minute," used by intent programmers to describe a time frame upwards of one hour.""

Friends, it is hard to avoid turning the Transmutable News Weekly into a constant stream of trainwreck fascination with web3 and instead cover folks who are doing good (often quiet and unpaid) work on the Wider Web and the Agreement Bedrock. There's so much low hanging fruit of the gotcha and schadenfreude varieties!
π the Memex and probably you, too.
Dog pix and morning thoughts will happen here.
XR and open web work happen over on @trevorflowers
