i mainly just worked on updating the /uses section on my homepage this week. wrote a new blog post about that and other stuff i've been up to lately: https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#im-tired
not much to report for homepage stuff this week as i've been avoiding the internet in general and customizing my linux os. new blog post about me descending further down the linux rabbit hole (⌒_⌒;) https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#elle-in-hyprland
homepage update: i added a xerox mode to my flat pages with css svg filters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read about it and also more of my linux adventures on my blog: https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#linux-xerox
no big visible homepage updates this week. mostly just moved html around and reorganized things better. quick blog post about feeling gross about being on today's internet/world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#dont-be-evil
something a little different. i made an archive for all the art i did on the fantom chain between 2021-2023. that chain "pivoted" (rugged?) itself into another chain and all its infrastructure and dapps pretty much disappeared (╥_╥) wdym blockchains aren't forever?? but i still wanted to preserve all that art somehow bc it holds a special place in my heart
technically that chain is still running but since it's no longer convenient for the average ppl to use, i snapshotted and extracted all my collections data and am treating them as frozen in time and made an etherscan parody ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
hosted on ipfs with the good folks at @orbiterhosthttps://scan.goools.net

there are no winners in a beige war
"The same systems that give Gifford and Sheil their jobs also create the environment where two people can appear to live identical lives, hawking the same clothing, jewelry, and home goods to viewers stumbling upon their videos. Influencers becoming mirror images of each other is a feature, not a bug, of algorithmic tastemaking tuned for scale rather than unique identity."

"In this way, the death of being very online goes a lot further than just the dissemination of meme culture and the lack of inside internet jokes. It reflects the lack of space for genuine interaction and meaningful communities online right now, something that was once considered to be one of the main plus sides of social media."
been feeling like this a lot lately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

***should i keep doing this weekly internet roundup cast? the ritual scheduling feature is kind of broken so i've been having to manually make the post every week. and with the incentive structure of warpcast now, it seems like ppl would rather root cast/quote cast than reply anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
