”You can discourse and quote-dunk and fact-check until you’re blue in the face, but at a certain point, you have to stop and decide what truth you believe in. The internet has conditioned us to constantly seek new information, as if becoming a sponge of bad news will eventually yield the final piece of a puzzle. But there is also such a thing as having enough information. As the internet continues to enshittify, maybe what we really need is to start trusting each other and our own collective sense of what is true and good.”

@gMoon I understand your points but have these rebuttals: 😊
* Posthaven are openly prioritising longevity over features - I admire this clarity and it puts them in a position to be more likely to succeed in their efforts.
* If something written today is relevant for the future should be decided by the people of the future, not by the writer’s financial capacity for keeping the content available after death.
* If my writing is appreciated and I pass away, content would more likely stay on Posthaven for long enough that people learn I’ve passed, and for them to save the content they want. So the idea of ”forever” is not actually the point for me, but rather ”long enough”.
If I died tomorrow, all my content - 28 years of blogging - would be offline within 6 months. That’s not because it is irrelevant in two years, it’s because only money keeps it available. Meanwhile, the hand-written diary of a young girl could be found and become of huge importance to helping the whole world find ways to talk about the horrors of World War II.
I’d argue there are reasons we decipher scrolls that are thousands of years old. They can still be relevant. In my mind the digitization of content has made it more vulnerable, not less, and that’s why I appreciate the intentions of Posthaven.
And I appreciate you spurring me to write down these thoughts. 🙏
I want to see more pledges like this one by #Posthaven. We should be able to trust that our content can outlive us.
I’m sad for all the beautiful texts by great writers that have been lost because of how internet publishing tends to work.

@bogosity Good and relevant question. Most people have opinions without asking 😉
Mainly business use. Backing up my work and sharing files with others. I’m finally moving away from Dropbox. I’m now also looking at https://jottacloud.com/en/
Finally trying out @penpot for some design work and immediately I get stuck on not being able to add a border to just one side of a square element. This felt like an odd feature to ignore for so many years…?
Would love a second opinion on Internxt for cloud file storage. Their pricing (and security) looks very appealing.

@anders Aha. Andra har rapporterat att de gör det. Jag misstänker cache eller långsam "propagering".
Tidigare kunde jag inte ens ladda upp en avatar.
Kanske om du "söker fram" mitt konto i sökmotorn så tvingar du en hämtning.
@anders @tsvenson Sant. Känns som någon borde ha skrivit om detta.
@anders @tsvenson Coding as a Sport: The Olympic Spirit in Programming 😁

@tsvenson Har aldrig tänkt på det så förut, men ja det är nog samma typ av driv som kickar in som när idrottare fortsätter springa fast de är slut.
@arutaz Oh, interesting. I’ve never heard of anyone having that issue before...
I think I just managed to update my Akkoma instance.
I appear to have some settings wrong for the S3 configuration though… and that is likely why my images aren’t displaying. Like my avatar...
@axbom Too tired to figure it out right now 🥴
Couldn’t give up. Solved it. 🥳
@monikossa Very neat!! 🙏
@scott Thanks this is helpful!
@css Very cool, had not come across this variant at all before. Thank you!
So I'm playing around with making my own theme for Ghost and there's one thing I really want to get right:
Ghost has built-in functionality for setting the width of images to break out of the article container, resulting in images that span the full width of the viewport, alternatively about 50% between the content column and the viewport edges. This is set in the Ghost editor and simply adds class names to the figure element. It's up to me to code the output.
What is best practice for accomplishing this with CSS? Because the solutions I'm finding aren't very neat. And they for example add a horizontal scrollbar to the browser...
Thanks for you help :)
Edit: added an image for explanatory purposes.

It was a weird friggin' year. My open heart surgery and new mechanical heart valve of course a central part of it. Thankful for medicine keeping me around for a bit longer.
All I know now is my intent is to write more in 2025. And listen more. Looking forward to the experience.
Take care, all. ❤️
