  It's old but Splix.io is still the best browser based pick-up-and-play multiplayer arcade game. No intrusive ads, no need to log on, always a few players on the main server. It's an almost perfect implementation of a simple idea. https://splix.io

  Just ran into the problem where Apple Pages uses stupid amounts of CPU, heating up my laptop. The fix is the same the last time this happened - disable Siri Suggestions for the app. If you haven't done this since Apple released the new apps then you have to do it again - they haven't fixed this problem. https://sheep.horse/2025/6/a_fix_for_high_cpu_usage_in_apple_pages.html

  I see an interesting blog post, I boost it here. I read A Journal of the Plague Year a few years ago myself (long before the pandemic). One of the things that stuck with me is that (despite what all the Zombie Apocalypse media will tell you) humanity did not descend into isolated pockets at war with each other. People (mostly) helped each other despite the wave of terrifying and seemingly random deaths. https://resolutereader.blogspot.com/2026/04/daniel-defoe-journal-of-plague-year.html?ref=bu...

  Bubbles Briefing could turn into a daily stop for me - a daily curated list of blog posts that have gotten some attention on bubbles. https://bubbles.town/briefing More explanation here: https://dshbx.de/blog/bubbles/entry/722acd4a-266a-4de6-93d7-4c10a17807cb?ref=bubbles.town

  @neil I fixed this on my own site a couple of months ago after putting it off for years. Turns out it is pretty easy these days with a few lines added to my style sheet. The **really** cheap way of doing it is to add a CSS filter to the body element that inverts all the colors. This works but also inverts the images, which is probably not what most people want.

  I see a lot of posts on Mastodon proclaiming that we need to bring back blogs and the "old internet". I get the sentiment but you know what the old internet didn't have? A bunch of people complaining about it. Be the change you want to see. Start (or update) a blog, interact with other bloggers, find and link to interesting (or stuff that interests you, at least) pages.

  International Delurk Day, March 24/25th By the authority invested in me by virtue of nothing really, I declare March 24/25th International Delurk Day. Yes I know that is two days. Do you lurk on forums or blogs, reading but rarely adding to the conversation? We are all guilty of that. Take 5 minutes today to comment - add your point of view or just to say "good job". Add your positive voice to the sea of Internet opinion. Other readers will appreciate it. #delurkday

  I have been waiting for something like bubbles for a while now - if this takes off it could be a good substitute for the much-lamented Google Reader - a place for interesting blog post to “bubble up”. Right now all the top posts are people congratulating themselves on finding out about Bubbles but I have already seen some interesting stuff. https://bubbles.town #blog #fediverse
