Back in February 2024, I published a blog post about my new—at the time—site. One of the things I mentioned in that post was that this site had a guestbook. --- Quick aside: a guestbook, for those of you who might not know, is something that used to be fairly common on the web of the late 90s, early 2000s, but slowly fell out of fashion as more and more people moved to social media and people stopped caring about personal sites for the most part. --- This site doesn’t have comments, and...| Manuel Moreale — Everything Feed

Over the past couple of years, I've used Literal to keep track of the books I've read and that I’m reading. When you mark a book as completed, Literal, like probably every other site and app of this type, asks for a review, which includes a 1-to-5 star rating. I suck at this. I genuinely don’t know how to rate things on a scale, which is why the vast majority of the books I rate are either 4 or 4.5. I think Netflix got it right with its thumbs-up, thumbs-down system, with the extra option...| Manuel Moreale — Everything Feed

I think I’m starting to feel what I can only describe as digital fatigue. I believe this is the result of a combination of two main factors: I spend most of my time in front of a screen for work, coding sites for clients and friends (and sometimes for myself). My RSS feed has lately been inundated with content that’s either related to American politics or AI, or sometimes both. The solution is going to be a fairly easy one: I think I’m going to stop consuming digital content for the res...| Manuel Moreale — Everything Feed

As you probably know by now, thanks to the infinite supply of news on the subject, today new OS versions came out for Apple gadgets. Yes, it’s the one with that idiot Liquid Glass. Yes, I hate it. No, I don’t hate it because it’s different from what I was used to before. And you know why? Because I was hating the previous one as well. «Why are you still using it then?» I hear you say. Because I have no good alternatives. Most of the tools I use are developed exclusively for this ecosy...| Manuel Moreale — Everything Feed
