Bookmarks: The Magazine Rack

Introduction

Essays, articles and periodicals on the small web, computing, and good living online. This used to live inside the main Bookmarks book, but it grew too large for its own good, so it now has a shelf of its own.

Use the contents menu to jump to the main categories. This rack is organised the same way the rest of my bookmarks are: hand-picked, not exhaustive, and read best in a candlelit chamber with a blanket and a warm drink.

  13. "The Death of DeviantArt". torrent-empress. . Re: Torrent Empress - As per the commenters of the original post, this does not address the rampant user-safety issues that made the site infamous. However, it compensates handsomely by denouncing the self-serving nature of so many artists online and explains just why deviantART could be so beautiful.

Re: Jason Scott - I find it immensely hypocritical that the same people who rely on Discord for everything complain about the internet becoming increasingly closed-off.
  1. Pal, Susam: "IndieWeb Does Not Need to Take Off". Susam Pal. .
  2. "IRC is the Only Viable Chat Protocol". koshka.love. Re: Koshka - The "compartmentalise information appropriately" line from the index was written with him in mind. While I appreciate Koshka's passion and artistry, he's quite right-wing and does not filter himself. I can handle some deviation in personal politics, provided they don't want to start a race war, carry the torch of NAMBLA or insist I'm exploiting the global south by existing. Koshka passes this test, as he's fairly garden-variety and I don't find him very menacing, just another autistic who happens to be very pink.

  22. Smith, Luke: "YOU are the Dead Internet". lukesmith.neocities.org. Re: Luke Smith - This one is a game-changer. To add onto it, I find it downright unsettling that the robots can appear more human than the actual humans.
