Marginalia search has a good explore button for random sites! I have thought about starting a Stumbleupon like tool, but I haven’t got around to it yet.
Stumbleupon was good, partially, because people submitted sites. That requires accounts and moderation though, and getting a community together is difficult.
Also, monetizing the ability to find searches that are not AI slop is, for lack of better phrasing, fucking bullshit.
The just in time economy is running a little bit late.

Happens to everybody! I hope you have a good day, friend!
Yes, it absolutely is. The /s indicates the end of a sarcastic comment.
This was a sarcastic commentary on Google’s inability to properly categorize things now.
This is the technological equivalent of the Plot in Jurassic World: Dominion …

I and my group are all just on matrix.org. We didn’t want the risk of dealing with potentially less reliable servers or federation.
Absolutely a strong way to go.
Yea, there are some historical reasons for the integrations, but they could do a better job evolving the UI to match the current state of things for sure.
I run a Matrix server and it’s deffo YMMV based on the server admin and how good they are at maintaining things.
Getting the federation to work can also be a chore and a half. Otherwise it works super well. The clients often implement features on top of the protocol (looking at Element and their weird jitsi integration for instance).
And as long as you continue to ratchet progress, it always will be.
Enjoy being part of the problem.
some clients had the ability to parse image links If included in the gemtext, but that was client specific.
It’s a wonderful protocol, but I’ve noticed way too many gems getting put up and then never being maintained, not just by way of content, but also certificate management isn’t managed so the server is still existing there, but the content is inaccessible.
Gopher with certificates.
The problem here is that who owns a data center isn’t a matter of breaking the law. It’s only if the data center starts breaking the law, and only then can the lawmaker share that the law is being broken and by whom. It wouldn’t give them carte blanche to go out and say “Microsoft owns that land”.
I forgot that Gaben is literally all of Valve.
I’m not here to lick Gabe’s boots, I’m here to point out that sometimes, companies do good things. There are a lot of people making money and doing development at Valve, almost none of them are Gabe, but I guess fuck the laborers because their CEO consolidates money and fucks around on the Stock Market.
Yes, Gabe is included in Eat the Rich, but the people that work at Valve shouldn’t be held accountable to to his faults. Conflating the Labor with the Owner is a take though.
Especially because they are literally known for creating things that sell at a loss and learning profound lessons from the thing they sell.
Also, they’re the most progressive group to not engage in Patent warfare since Volvo made the 3-point seatbelt.
Valve knows how to help an ecosystem grow and pays attention to it’s user base.
Probably point to point WiFi, either for an office in LoS or for a wISP.
If they’re super progressive they might also be letting some hobbyists put a LoRA rig up there.
I have a funny screenshot about this! I didn’t know Fedora and OpenSUSE were Debian based! /s

So it isn’t exactly the same as what I was planning, but there used to be a BannerLink maintained by WSMZ (https://hbaguette.neocities.org/) that isn’t maintained anymore.
I have started maintaining that here: https://j4yc33.neocities.org/stuff/BannerAds
If you have a small website and want to explore more, there are about 17 sites on it right now, and hopefully I will be able to add more.
As time goes on, I might be able to use this database of self-submitted websites to create a sort of small web stumbleupon.
