I would have sent an email to this blogger, but there's no contact information available on their blog (what's up with that?), so I'll respond to their post with my own.
Daily notes are useless. The value of a note is directly proportional to the number of times it is visited. That value is exponentiated each time a note is shared. Daily notes aren't revisited and they aren't shared.
First, daily notes are only useless if you don't have a system or workflow that makes use of them.
Second, they don't have to be shared to be useful. Depending on the system/workflow you have, they still have value. But the key is, you need to have system/workflow in the first place. Besides, unless the blog/website is setup like a daily journal, nobody is sharing their daily notes to the public. Typically what people would do is, write a bigger piece by expanding on ideas they wrote down in their daily notes.
I follow a few aggregated RSS feeds that list posts from personal blogs. I've seen a number of posts about “No Kings” and others supporting the protests that happened across America, but I haven't seen anyone talk about something like this. I've even waited a week before sharing this, but nothing. Even the mainstream media is turning a blind eye.
Here's a video about two Hispanic men, flying the American flag, in America, getting attacked and harassed by protesters flying a different country's flag. How is this not news worthy? How is this not blog worthy? How is this acceptable behavior in American soil?
Things are blowing up between the founders of Micro.blog and omg.lol. Can't say I ever expected something like this to happen to the IndieWeb community, but it has. I'm a bit shocked.
A plea to write.as and other small blogging platforms: stay out of this mess please.
I'm reminded of this post I wrote a year ago. Be careful what you say on the internet folks. You never know who's going to be coming after you. I'm going to go offline now.
Who asked for all these AI bots, apps, APIs, etc... to be developed in the first place? All I can see from my side are:
College graduates are in trouble of landing jobs, because entry-level stuff they are supposed to work on, can now be offloaded to AIs.
Senior level employees on the other hand, are now expected to learn how to use AI, so that they can offload menial tasks to an AI, and work on other stuff. So instead of decreasing the amount of work they have, it actually makes management think they now have more time to work on something else, thereby increasing their workload.
AIs that feed off large datasets are vulnerable to bad data getting into the system.
In a similar vein, there is also the chance that people's PII data or other sensitive data can make it into an AI's dataset.
This age of requiring tolerance for everyone's beliefs is confusing to me. If I'm supposed to tolerate someone else's beliefs, aren't you also supposed to tolerate mine? You know, that part where we say “agree to disagree” and go on our merry way?
But clearly that is not what is happening online nowadays. I say that because as soon as somebody shares their beliefs, if those beliefs happen to be in conflict with what the internet mob believes, then it won't be long before that somebody gets cancelled.
It doesn't really matter whether you are on the left, or right or even in the middle. You say something the folks on the internet don't agree with, you're done. It's an ugly phase to be in, this modern society of ours. Like we cannot even have a difference of opinion.
Everyone is expected to exhibit tolerance for everyone else's beliefs, but hold on, that only applies if those beliefs are acceptable to a group of people who wield the power online.
