My dear English speaking readers: This blog post is written in German. It is a response to Annette's call for ideas for how we want the web to be.
Ich bin im Fediverse auf HerrTommis Blogpost #SoSollWeb: Wünsche für die Zukunft des Webs gestoßen und darüber dann auf Annettes Aufruf, doch darüber nach zu denken, wie ein gutes Web aussehen sollte. Normalerweise schreibe ich auf Englisch, aber das hält mich nicht davon ab, auch mal was auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Danke für den Impuls, Annette!
I have always used social media for fun, never for getting news or talking current affairs. I had a "no news, only fun" policy. For many years it worked. I mainly hung out on Instagram and only followed people in certain niches, who, including me, all stuck to posting within those niches. (I am starting to wonder if this is an Insta/ photo sharing specific thing?) So everything I ever saw was stuff in those niches. Kind of. We all know how fucked up the algorithm has become.
Some weeks ago I posted my answers to the Blog Questions Challenge that's been making the rounds. Now it's time for the Music Question Challenge. I can't remember where I read abou it as I didn't bookmark that post. But through a little link hopping I found out that TakenVaullt is the author of this challenge.
A few weeks ago I saw fLaMEd post about this challenge in the fediverse. His blog about it is here. I wanted to take part as well, so here are my answers:
I am not a web developer. I am not particularly clever or know great things. I don't make art that I'd like to show or even sell. I don't have projects, nor side projects. I don't offer any service. Technically I do not need a website. But I still have one. Why?
I am not the worlds biggest cook. I don't even love to cook. But I do it anyway because I love to eat. That's why I really love easy recipes that still make tasty dishes -- and soup is exactly that. It's also a wonderful heart warmer, especially on cold days.
Recently I fell down a rabbit hole. I do that from time to time. See my list of interests. They have been rabbit holes of various depths at one time or another. This time it was the one of historical costuming and sewing.
The summer holidays are here and I have plans. So yeah, this is a simple to-do list of big and small things. Maybe posting it to my blog will keep me more accountable. We'll see how that goes... Definite WIP.
I'm a lefty. When I was in kindergarten, my teacher there wanted me to use lefty scissors. I refused. Vehemently. Why, I am not sure. I was a weird kid.
Here's a list with all the things (though I probably forgot some) I have been interested in so far in my life. Some of them I participated in extensively for many years. Some are just topics of interest, meaning that I like to learn about them instead of practicing them.
