I created page which contains every pages from my blog. And named it - for fun - ‘Look here’. I love changing and experimenting on this site sometimes even more than writing. Is it the last change in this area? I don’t think so. And this is beautiful in blogging and be owner of personal site or blog on the Internet.
I like the idea to create blog only by RSS. Simple landing page and URL address to RSS feed. I found post about ‘RSS Club’ on Dave’s Rupert blog and felt intrigued.
My Junited 2025
Sunday, June 15, 2025
I really love discover new blogs and read interesting posts. After I started blogging again in 2024, I was shocked how many people writing and develop theirs personal sites. It was impressed for me. Later, by chance, I came across on blogroll.org - agregator of blogs which is carrying and redesigned by Manuel Moreale. I look there regularly and discover new blog which are added to my RSS reader. Therefore, it didn’t surprise me that I liked the idea named ‘Junited’.
If you’re thinking without writing, you only think you’re thinking.

I’m trying to find the best way for posting on micro.blog and my social media accounts in Fediverse (Mastodon and Bluesky). I connected blog with these accounts and I’ll be watching how it works. I don’t know yet whether I will stay with this setup or disconnect the Bluesky. I don’t use this service recently. Maybe connecting a blog to it will revive my profile.
Artificial but Assistive
Sunday, June 8, 2025
Adam Tonworth wrote on his onemanandhisblog: AI = Assistive Intelligence I’ll keep banging this drum until people grasp it fully: AI is assistive intelligence, not truly artificial intelligence. It has no inherent reasoning capability. It just makes guesses based on patterns derived from vast qualities of data. If you don’t understand that, if you mistake a guessing engine for an answer engine, you’ll going to end up as a case study like the ones above.
Hey, Apple! I'm waiting for this change
Thursday, May 29, 2025
I see on The Verge: Apple is going to change how it names its next set of major operating systems, Bloomberg reports. Instead of just notching up the version number, Apple will instead mark them by year. However, the numbers will apparently align with the year after the one the update is actually released in, similar to cars. That means that the next big iOS update will be iOS 26 instead of iOS 19.
LLMs everywhere? It's unnecessary
Sunday, May 18, 2025
Adam Tinworth writes on onemanandhisblog.com: LLMs are NOT answer machines. They’re guessing machines. And any guess has the potential to be wrong. That’s true. Developers of AI tools are trying to push it everywhere they can push it. For profit, of course. But Internet users don’t need artificial intelligence literally everywhere. There are tools that function well enough without it. A perfect example of how AI has messed up search is some search engine results in last months (screenshots are circulating on the web).
I’m discovering the blogosphere once again. After reading few weeks ago this article by Manu, I started using blogroll.org which was redesigned by him. This is amazing how many interesting blogs are on the web and how big emptiness had my RSS reader without so many great blogs into it.
Suzanne Bearne on BBC in article “The people refusing to use AI”:
While it’s difficult to quantify the electricity used by AI, a report by Goldman Sachs estimated that a ChatGPT query uses nearly 10 times as much electricity as a Google search query.
I notice a drastic decrease in the number of published posts on my timeline on Bluesky. I don’t know yet if it’s a coincidence or something like a constant.
Is Substack becoming a closed digital garden?
Sunday, May 11, 2025
Substack becomes another close digital garden. I think. Before you could write there a newsletter. Today you can publish podcast, videoconversations and posts like on X, Bluesky or Mastodon. Everything in one place. Comfortable? Definitely yes. But… dangerous as well. Why? Because it all doesn’t belong to you. Your entire business becomes dependent on Substack. Your independence is created by the idea that you can export a list of your subscribers' email addresses and switch to other provider.
Paul Graham on ‘The Age of Essay':
Just as inviting people over forces you to clean up your apartment, writing something that other people will read forces you to think well.
Sir David Attenborough turns 99
Thursday, May 8, 2025
The world’s most famous naturalist turns 99. I love and respect him for the way he talks about nature and how he makes people fall in love with it. Just look: It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
Speak or keep silent?

I don't want
Saturday, May 3, 2025
I don’t want digital products to accompany me every step of the way. I don’t want smart watches. I don’t want digital rings. I don’t want intelligent brushes. I don’t want digital glasses with cameras. I don’t want vacuum cleaner with AI. I don’t want lawnmower connected to the internet. I don’t want toilet saturated with sensors. I just want to live a normal life without becoming a slave in the digital feudalism era.
Two phrases
Friday, May 2, 2025
I read two excellent phrases today that sum up our world in a few words: “It’s more profitable to apologize than to ask for permission” - this in the context of large corporations that make no secret of the fact that they have copyrights for nothing and break the rules for their own gain. “Capitalism is based on incentives, not benevolence” - this perfectly captures the modern world of business and economics.
How technology destroing our brains
Monday, February 17, 2025
Hannah Karpel on BBC is writing: Claire Benton, vice-president of the British Academy of Audiology, suggests that by blocking everyday sounds such as cars beeping, there is a possibility the brain can “forget” to filter out the noise. and Those more complex, high-level listening skills in your brain only really finish developing towards your late teens. So, if you have only been wearing noise-cancelling headphones and been in this false world for your late teens then you are slightly delaying your ability to process speech and noise.
Gulf of...
Saturday, February 15, 2025
I remember what a shock and absurdity at the same time were Donald Trump’s words about his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. I leave aside the political issues of his words. I don’t want to comment on it or be a part of the dispute, because I live in the other hemisphere and think I shouldn’t get involved. My attention was drawn to a project based on MapQuest, and actually available at the subdomain https://gulfof.
I will miss you Touch ID
Thursday, February 13, 2025
Tim Cook on X: Get ready to meet the newest member of the family. Of course, I’m assuming it’ll be the 4th gen iPhone SE or a low-cost iPhone that won’t be called ‘SE’ from now on. Based on reports that are circulating on the web, I will regret the news that Touch ID is going away on these models. For me, it’s definitely a more useful feature than Face ID.
