Huge Danis³h update for Jan 2023:
Alongside #HTML, #CSS, #JS and #JSON...
#Danis3h can now encapsulate #SVG.
Ever wished you could take an SVG snippet (or full document) and reversably convert it into full-fidelity #JSON - which you can then process as a #JS object, #PHP array etc.?
Danis3h conversion of SVG is now fully implemented and includes #CDATA blocks for inline #CSS & #JS.

Well that... didn't quite accord with expectations.
#Bootstrap. Really?
Had anticipated #tech like #Vue and #NativeScript - or #Svelte perhaps.
Has anyone else successfully nudged #ChatGPT to give inspiration on which #web #technologies to focus on learning in 2023?

CGPT: "Instead of just learning about #responsive #design in general, she decided to focus on learning the #CSS #framework #Bootstrap. And rather than just learning about #cloud #computing in general, she decided to focus on #learning the #serverless #framework #Serverless.
With these adjustments, Emma's final list of resolutions for 2023 looked like this:
1) #Python
2) Data visualization via D3.js
3) #Bootstrap
4) The serverless framework Serverless
5) #VR development using #WebVR" -
ReadWriteWeb's two-day conference in the summer of 2011 in New York City has amazing presenters and content, but attendance is disappointing and we lose money. After, there is a difficult face-to-face meeting and we part ways with another community manager. https://cybercultural.com/p/060-rww-2way-summit-nyc-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20

This is it, folks, the final post of my Web 2.0 memoir. Thanks for reading over the past 14 months and please consider buying the book. -> After leaving ReadWriteWeb in October 2012, it becomes apparent that the Web 2.0 era is over. I reflect on what the Web 2.0 bubble meant and how the internet industry continues to evolve. https://cybercultural.com/p/067-end-of-web20/ #InternetHistory #Web20

In early December 2011, I travel to San Francisco for due diligence with SAY Media as it prepares to acquire ReadWriteWeb. Then, on the 14th, the transaction goes through and I no longer own RWW. (part 065 of my Web 2.0 memoir, which completes the 20 chapters! Just 2 more posts to go, for the book's epilogue) https://cybercultural.com/p/065-selling-readwriteweb/ #InternetHistory #Web20

The day after the final Web 2.0 Summit closes in October 2011, Sean and I visit the SAY Media office in San Francisco to meet its CEO. In the days after, SAY presents an offer to acquire ReadWriteWeb. (part 064 of my Web 2.0 memoir) https://cybercultural.com/p/064-saymedia-offer-for-readwriteweb/ #InternetHistory #Web20

In October 2011 in San Francisco, I attend what turns out to be the last ever Web 2.0 conference. During the event, my COO Sean and I meet with 5 potential acquirers for ReadWriteWeb. (part 063 of my serialized Web 2.0 memoir; and the start of the final chapter!) https://cybercultural.com/p/063-the-last-web20-conference-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20

As we near the conclusion of my Web 2.0 memoir, we're now in the second half of 2011...and it's tough times for ReadWriteWeb. I worry about my relationship with Marshall, as I try to manage ructions within the writing team. It goes from bad to worse when several of our writers get poached by tech blog competitors. https://cybercultural.com/p/061-blog-business-pressure/ #InternetHistory #Web20

Remember when we all thought HTML5 websites were the future of mobile? It's May 2010 and ReadWriteWeb holds its second Silicon Valley unconference, this time about the mobile internet. One of our presenters shows off their HTML5 website called Burbn, but shortly after pivots to an iOS app called Instagram. The rest, as they say, is history. https://cybercultural.com/p/049-rww-mobile-summit-may2010/ #InternetHistory #MobileInternet #HTML5

Lots of great memories (and photos!) in this post. It's October 15, 2009, and ReadWriteWeb holds its first ever event, a one-day 'unconference' at the beautiful Computer History Museum in Mountain View. And fediverse fans: note the Activity Streams and PubSubHubbub sessions and pics...maybe a few of you were there that day? https://cybercultural.com/p/042-readwrite-realtime-web-summit-2009/ #InternetHistory #FediverseHistory #unconference

gagejustins's HN analysis has inspired me to take a crack at typifying Hacker News front page stories by type.
Whilst he'd manually assessed each front-page story, I'm classifying by site, so that an NY Times article on, say, quantum computing would still be described as "general news".
I've classified 10,200 of 52,642 domains, the first 300 or so manually, much of the rest using regexes and imputation (e.g., ".edu", ".gov", and sites on Blogspot, Substack, Medium, etc.).

"n/a" indicates no site, e.g., an Ask, Tell, or Show HN post.
'???' indicates I couldn't (quickly) assess a domain. Examples: 37signals.com, readwriteweb.com, thenextweb.com, archive.org, anandtech.com, avc.com, docs.google.com, righto.com, slideshare.net, infoq.com, hackaday.com, gamasutra.com, marco.org, smashingmagazine.com, highscalability.com, catonmat.net, centernetworks.com, jvns.ca, scribd.com, about.gitlab.com, cloud.google.com, alleyinsider.com, msn.com, firstround.com, axios.com, openculture.com, onstartups.com, ejohn.org, dadgum.com, shkspr.mobi, mixergy.com, geek.com, gmane.org, foundread.com.
"cproorate commm." is an obvious typo. This is very rough code & classification.

Books as solidarity: a fundraiser for @gazamutualaid
Examples of solidarity weave their way through all of the (increasingly relevant) book projects of mine pictured here, so it’s apropos that these titles, in your hands, will become a form of much-needed solidarity beyond borders with Palestinians in Gaza, thx to on-the-ground mutual aid.
While supplies last, grab a copy of one or more of the following books at the sliding scales below, and I’ll send 100% of the money raised (minus shipping in US only) to Gaza Mutual Aid.
“Deciding for Ourselves: The Promise of Direct Democracy” — $8 to $19 (or more)
“Anarchism and Its Aspirations” — $6 to $12 (or more)
“There Is Nothing So Whole as a Broken Heart: Mending the World as Jewish Anarchists” — $11 to $23 (or more)“Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief” — $10 to $20 (or more)
“Try Anarchism for Life: The Beauty of Our Circle” — $10 to $20 (or more)
You can find full descriptions of the first four books on publisher @akpressdistro’s website and a full description of the last one on publisher @tangled_wilderness’ website.
That said, the edited anthologies “Deciding for Ourselves,” “Nothing So Whole,” and “Rebellious Mourning” are all overflowing with stories and art about real-life examples of messy beautiful practices of remembrance, resistance, and especially, prefiguring otherworldly ways of self-determining and self-governing our lives. They all contain magical, emotional, and inspirational words (as weapons against the social order and salve for our despairing hearts), and I trust that the same is true of the two books I wrote, “Aspirations” and “Try Anarchism for Life,” which also includes an array of gorgeous drawings of circle As embodying the beauty of what anarchism is, does, and envisions.
All five books are direct counters to this fascist present, particularly in how they illuminate actually existing alternatives, and thus possibilities in the here and now.
To donate to this fundraiser and dive into reading (or gifting) one or more of these books, email me at cbmilstein [at] yahoo to work out the simple details.

There are countless spaces of state and fascist violence, systematic brutality and unnecessary loss, these traumatizing days. So it’s extra worth celebrating each and every space of possibility that we ourselves carve out. It’s worth jumping for joy when our collective efforts feel good. When they hold out delicious promise, if only for the much-needed nourishment of a big, quirky, beautiful anarchist family reunion—aka the 2023 Montreal Anarchist Bookfair.
It’s extra worth proudly sharing a delightful peek at some of the rebellious beauty that’s emerging from our hours of collective organizing toward that said bookfair. And tonight that means excitedly sharing the freshly done artwork and poster design by @pendracocomics.
As this marvelous poster declares, “Anarchists Care about Books,” and this year’s Salon du livre anarchiste will feature almost 100 tablers, over 2 dozen workshops, a kidzone along with a KidsKlez music show, anarchist fun and games, an interactive grief and remembrance space, a display of historical anarchist posters, live theater piece, live-streamed panel, late-night show, care space, and more. Maybe most important, it will bring together more anarchists than any other bookfair in North America for schmoozing, socializing, and reconnecting, for meeting old friends and making new ones, for reinspiring and refreshing ourselves—for all of those times that aren’t so pleasurable yet demand that we stick by each other for the long haul.
So if you’re not already planning to come to the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair, May 27-28, whatcha waiting for? Clear your calendar and join in the magic!

Since I seem to be in a space of not feeling inspired to write my usual picture-prose pieces for social media—call it winter or perhaps pandemic numbness—and as a way to encourage myself to do so again, I’m catching up on sharing some old writing. Or rather, some old talking that Sarah Lawrance kindly curated into a zine years ago, and then Kai Schmidt stumbled across it years later and surprised me by creating a new edition of the zine.
Truth be told, I haven’t had the heart to read my old words here, in the new and improved “Educating for Freedom” zine. Since I gave the talk that became the original zine at the unSchooling Oppression conference in Ottawa in 2007, there’s been much beauty, and yet also so much loss, and so much has shifted in the world, making it wrenching to revisit the “old” one via my musings here. But Kai asserts in the intro that one shouldn’t “be fooled by [the writing’s] age”; that the zine is “sharp, relevant, and generally incredible.” You can be the judge, of course!
And of course, I’m grateful to Kai for putting so much “labor of love” into this new version, from editing and design, to getting full consent from both Sarah and me, to hosting it on Kai’s website (www.ratpokes.com) and uploading it to internet archive. I’m grateful, too, to the good folks at Sprout Distro for making readable and downloadable/imposed versions available on their website, including for freely and widely distro’ing.
As enticement to check out this zine, here’s what Sprout says,
“The zine begins with a brief segment titled ‘why anarchism?’ that situates the rest of the talk, with an emphasis on the notion that a key aspect of anarchism is educating ourselves and inspiring others to question the way things are. For anarchists, education reminds us things haven’t always been like this and gives past, present, and future examples of alternatives. It also helps us to understand complexity and to remain vigilant about the work we are doing. The majority of the text focuses on anarchist projects and how they contribute to an ‘educating’ process within and alongside the anarchist space. The projects explored are local collectives, nonhierarchical institutions, and social movements. In these areas, anarchists educate themselves through practice and interplay with others.“
Excerpt from the zine:
“Because anarchists are interested in this idea of education for freedom, anarchism as an idea, and a huge percentage of the work that anarchists do – despite the stereotypes of anarchism – is actually about education. And some of it we don't even see as education because it's not how we've understood education to be.”
