Read: Sloan’s Orthographic media

Maybe this is a flavor of context collapse: the standardization of all events, no matter how big or small, delightful or traumatic, to fit the same mashed-together timeline.

I like this framing of the idea of [[orthographic media]], collapsing distance and relevance. It also makes me think of [[Ton]]‘s thoughts on feed reading by ‘distance’, which is an attempt to regain some focus and relevance. https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/06/feed-reading-by-social-distance/

Crafting homepages

Interesting thought on how having generic tools for publishing lost us some of the fun of hand-crafted homepages.

once you are given a tool that operates effortlessly — but only in a certain way — every choice that deviates from the standard represents a major cost.

I hear that - publishing through WordPress got me lots of IndieWeb goodness, but I feel a bit restricted in other ways sometimes. That said, you definitely should have tooling available for people who can’t/don’t want to hand-roll everything.
