I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

  • But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

  • I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

  • It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

  • Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

I want to be in dialogue with my #website my work, and the people who find it. Not have it be just a space where I publish posts and #art, but a living work itself. I want to engage with and collaborate with it. I want to inform it and for it to inform me.

- from my evolving "Website Manifesto": fromemily.com/website-manifest

...from Emily Moran BarwickWebsite ManifestoA manifesto for my okay enough website: a living document encouraged to change/evolve/grow.

Today, for the first time ever, I had a look at my webserver's logs. I wanted to check if the rules I set on the .htaccess file to block this huge amount of bots and crawlers were correctly working... I'm not an expert for that part, I just mess around copying and pasting.

I was surprised by the fact that the vast majority of the requests I get to my website are coming from the Fediverse even before I implemented the bots blockade. I love seeing this variety of requests by hundreds of Mastodon (and other AP implementations) instances, followed by a number of RSS feedreaders and podcast players.

I'm really loving how things are going in my social-digital life.

Confession ahead of Easter: there is "Easter Egg" content hidden on my new website. In the late 1990s, I had hand-coded my first HTML site, which included pages on favorite classic movies. A few are now back online for the first time in 20 years - for amusement and nostalgia, I have also included some of the original graphical elements from that time.

Norbert Woehnl PhotographyFavorite Classic MoviesOff my first hand-coded website from the late 1990s, this section revives some fan pages I had made at the time about classic movies that I like.

I'm wondering if on top of trying to get my old writings online and my #portfolio done which I always procrastinate I shouldn't start by make #blog article recap to show the #postprocessing I've actually finished on a given period, to give a glimpse of work to come and my current projects, I think it would be good to keep the #website active and keep the motivation up.
