I need an internet archive for ads. For all the songs, cameos by tv/movie actors/actresses, and over-the-top japanese ad campaigns. YouTube exists but I want all the details. There are also famous ad directors turned movie icons

I once lost insurance for a month because the notification was only on the web portal and didn't get any emails. I noticed purely by accident - after the month started. Could only renew for next month (which feels like the more absurd part tbh - if paycheck can be fortnightly why not insurance)

Oh wow, thats so cool! It fills the missing gap that I hadn't thought too much about too: with horizontal (moving walkway (travelator?)), diagonal (the usual), & now vertical (this one), there's now a full trifecta!!

I hope (er pray..) I actually get to visit one sometime before they're all gone

While not even close to what you had in mind, I just had to share this icymi. Hopefully it atleast gives some joy in hard times

also stuff like tinysubversions.com/twitter-arch... always exist & it means having your own blog/domain is really really useful the longer you have one

Yea, I agree that's the wise thing to do. I'll remain stubborn for some more time >.>
As someone who reposts/lurks more than posts, I miss the connections more than what I write. OTOH, if everyone viewed it wisely like you said, we'd have no problem jumping platforms & staying connected...

And lets not forget better searching & indexing that'd make it possible to look back, share, discover and maybe help someone in future (alas forums are discord servers now, and blogs got twitter'd .-.)

Ofc we also still need better migration tools/strategies, moderation/mrf. Really, blogging is also an option (and people do do): its just not the same as microblogging and we've been spoiled to not have to do discovery/hosting (tho I like new now/TIL, gemini:// & good ol roll susam.net/roll.html )

regardless, my main issue is that if twitter can die so can bluesky. Thus it makes sense to struggle to make decentralization happen or atleast be able to go elsewhere (I may be able to jump to a new one in another decade but someone will still be left behind... like all my intl/local follows)

Fair point but I'm curious: do network effects _need_ centralization (does email qualify)? Stuff like quote toots, bubble timelines, trending posts, hashtags (also see fediwall.social), fedilab (and maybe there could be a For You feed-like extension?) has me hopeful kinda its reachable but idrk

So glad to be able to read this and also instantly read an anecdote

Even if I love/hate it, I still kinda prefer islands tho... Btw have you seen arewedecentralizedyet.online ?

If all the PL folks collectively decide to bridge maybe it might work 🤔
For eg, I like the idea of @ap.brid.gy ; it's nice to interact/reply both ways
Another problem rn is live/explore feeds disabled on some instances - there's a new Bubble timeline thingy that seems nice in theory

Perfect alt text rofl

Not really a problem but rather an opportunity to deplete tokens faster and nudge more users to get premium+, without ever having to think of debouncing

Oh sweet 👌

I think it looks cool (and maybe retro?); nice touch giving shadows behind the boxes too. What/how are you making the web ui? Based on your previous posts I saw the tool itself is in rust so was curious about whether this is plain html/tauri/something else

Oh, I recently saw the recording of your PWLConf talk from a few years ago; it popped up on their fedi bot feed

It was fun & engaging! I've been meaning to check out the paper; hopefully soon..

because while bipartite lanes makes sense, I think it doesn't account for no of items in the cart
