I wish people would post more links to interesting things
I feel like Twitter and LinkedIn and Instagram and TikTok have pushed a lot of people out of the habit of doing that, by penalizing shared links in the various "algorithms"
Bluesky doesn't have that misfeature, thankfully!

A terrible direction for the evolution of the internet -- hopefully starting to reverse
If I ever want to find a link or a quote, I site search through the posts.

Also, I need to start writing again.
The consequence is not just that people don't link on social media - people don't create independent websites in the first place.
Absolutely gorgeous design.

it's video editor that does NOT generates video 😀 but generates ffmpeg command to generate video instead
it started off as gui for cli but with drawing on video it's doing things which would almost be impossible with cli
Also, if it helps, you wrote "I don’t wont to steal attention from the authors and plagiarize their message" but I think you meant "want".
Until more folks do what you do it’s hard to standup an RSS reader etc to follow along while also reading interesting links from Twitter.
Doing the same on 🦋 now.
On an unrelated note, here are links to my online tip jar, substack, onlyfans and gofundme.
And I have to admit, your blog was a source of inspiration. I don't yet support quotes and other rich ways to share bookmarks, but getting there soon.

I use Bsky as a bookmarking tool (like @strangelove.ai) with a monthly link dump at https://blog.strangelove.ai/news/ using Google Sheets and a Hugo blog on Cloudflare via GitHub, but don’t take it much further than that. But, maybe I should.
I've also added a feature where I make posts public so the text "stream" is accessible as a JSON list with a sliding window.

I'm new to this and I'm enjoying it. Thanks to @simonwillison.net for the push :)
I've been hoarding sooo many bookmarks and saved articles into a useless collection that I never read. If I start doing these blogmarks, with at least some comments about my read, I'll get more from it and maybe someone else will too.
I believe the future of blogging is connected, linked; it's easier to learn and write, as nothing happens in a silo. It's also more sustainable in the long term. #secondbrain
There are no easy answers
Do you have a setup that allows you to post from your phone? Do you find that you use it? Or do you have some system to triage links you find on mobile to post later via desktop?
it’s a shame, so I posted my @cheerlights.bsky.social script today in the spirit of your encouragement and @nothans.bsky.social ‘s good example too

lmk if u want AI-ier stuff
https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/post/457
I personally never stopped posting links. I even maintain a page on my site with anything interesting I read, listen, or watch online.

I periodically share this list too😅

(Not a very useful clarification I know, but I have very wide ranging interests)
Check out what I had in the early 2000s.
I'm rebuilding it, but much more powerful this time.

Whenever someone asks me about AI these days I send them to your blog.
Thanks for all your work and for your writing in particular, Simon!
I am a ride or die linkblogger
ridin that train until the goddamn WHEELS fall OFF
At best it's a "walled garden" approach.
At worst, it's a way to pretend that interesting things only happen on that site.
potentially there should be some ways to discover interesting links from others
The ranking is similar to HackerNews and Reddit where the score is the number of likes/reposts + time based decay.
The popularity based ranking is good to get a sense of big stories.
It is much more suitable for discovering links that relate to your interests.
How it works:
- find posts with links you liked
- find others who liked same links
- find what other links they liked
