So I vibe-coded a photo blog, and with it a nice little iOS app that will open straight to the camera roll and let me upload a bunch of photos.

Every week, I post a weekly summary page (with all photos from sunday to sunday) as my WhatsApp status.

It's incredibly simple, and it feels a lot better than any photo sharing ad/dopamine monster out there. I hope it will strengthen connections ("Hey, what was that on that photo?"). It's just fine. POSSE style. It will make me more conscious for the little things, and it will not let me hunt any likes. In the long run, I hope it will connect me stronger to the poeple I care about.

This is what I want from the internet.

Even if it makes things overly complicated sometimes, I like the EU style that forces companies to make people actively confirm their consent, and puts the 'inform' part of 'informed consent' into the company's responsibility.

Just like door locks are making the world less free!

It's like a gym that has automated weights, and just going there to watch them being moved - our mental muscles aren't trained anymore.

It's like leaving your bike in the street, with no lock. Still theft, but you'd be up for a part of the responsibility.

Same here - I wonder why PH wouldn‘t do anything against this.

So everybody will be using (sometimes slightly, sometimes entirely) different software. Like mutations, these adapt to the specific problems in the situation they were prompted to be programmed.
