I’ve made a lot of small improvements to my blog recently. I wanted to make my blog theme more personal and give people the opportunity to share my posts and leave comments. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but for now I’m quite happy with the results. I believe a blog is a public space where people can come and go freely, but I want them to feel at home anyway.

Pochi giorni fa ho scritto qualche breve riflessione su un tema che intendo approfondire ulteriormente ovvero ciò che ho definito Web intenzionale. Il concetto è semplice, ma neanche troppo banale. Tutte le volte che siete voi personalmente a decidere di quali contenuti fruire sul web state applicando il concetto di web intenzionale. Quando invece è un algoritmo / intelligenza artificiale a scegliere cosa proporvi state di fatto subendo una decisione che ha fatto quel determinato algoritmo per voi sulla base delle vostre preferenze passate o di una sua analisi interna dei contenuti al fine di proporvi la risorsa più pertinente.

Some weeks ago I read an interesting blog post by Manuel Moreale about “The social web”. Manuel correctly clarifies that being social on the web does not mean you are part of the social web and that there is also a lot of misconception around IndieWeb definition. How can we define a human web where there is no algorithmic filtering and where we can deliberately be part of? That is the web I’m arguing for.

A few days ago I came across an interesting post by Annie Mueller about getting older: I remember having a conversation with my Dad right after I graduated college. So I was 22 and he was 52. I don’t remember what we were talking about but I remember when he looked at me and said, “You know, I still feel just the same inside as I did when I was 22.

I believe that blogging (writing) is a kind of good therapy. You write things down and let your thoughts flow. When you are in a flow, words can come one after the other. As I’ve written many times, I don’t write for an audience (though I’m very happy if you find my ramblings useful), but for the need to let my ideas flow freely. Does that make sense to you?

Cosa abbiamo fatto di male per dover sopportare lo scrolling infinito anche sui siti web? 😞

Thanks to Robb Knight’s explanation of how Author Tags work on Mastodon, I was able to activate them on my Micro.blog site. Prerequisite: I’m using the Sumo theme, which has full support for Microhooks. The process is very simple from the Micro.blog web dashboard: go to Design -> Open Theme -> New Template Give the template this location and name: layouts/partials/microhook-head.html insert this code using your fediverse handle name instead of mine:

There are a lot of funny domain extensions you can use for your website today. Some of them are run by companies (like .blog), while others are country top level domains. Examples of country top level domains are .it for Italy, .us for the USA, .de for Germany and so on… Most of us might think that using a “national top level domain” is safer than using a domain completely run by a private company, but this isn’t entirely true.
