Aaand the page's live, since i linked to it from the sitemap! It has most of what i wanted to put on it typed out. I will probably add some styling later on, cause the page gets a bit bleak ten scrolls in, but the text contents are there, and that's most important.

Also of course the catalog links are now functional. Except all the back log links just throw you to the back log folder for now, since every back log album has two downloads (mp3/flac), and i can't be assed to get each link YET..

new doll and slightly updated info/styles, also i think i exempted the internet archive bot from splashcreening on first visit. Guess i'm ditching Astro as a nickname and Astro The Fox the fursona forreals, but they will live on, cause the new one is an upgraded blend of Astro and Patch the two fursoners.

Not gonna update the FRESH TUNEZ section because this is a celebratory triple megamix and not new actual music, but THE TUNES X, a release celebrating 10 years of my netlabel/virtual band, is out! https://elysiantunes.bandcamp.com/album/the-tunes-x

the LSDJ section is revived! I still gotta backup and upload the newer stuff, since there has been some new gameboy tracks after junk food chips got released in 2018.. it's also missing some important tool links and i can't say i like the HTML structure, so i might rethink it. But at least it's up in *some* form, right?

new webtutorial on semantic html + adjusted key controls to avoid messing with other potentially installed accessibility measures, also made the calm mode version layout wider so it doesn't feel so squished anymore :D

I've been working on a new engine to replace MyArtGallery and its forks for a blog, etc, etc. The main thing about this engine is it's just a collection of abstractions + an automatically rendered editor for the resulting data model. It's easily turned into a blog, a gallery, a wiki or whatever just with a suiting config (~100 lines of mostly descriptive code). So far so good, but not sure this is it just yet

It's definitely lighter and better organized than MyAG, and if you take away the parts needed for the editor - it's even smaller. I figured i'd need something considerably malleable if i want to run my outfit gallery, kandi museum, music review blog, twitteroid, bandcampoid, etc, all off the same core engine :'D this also means that people can write their own configs and end up with highly custom setups

Which is to say, i want to post to the website, but because i am a fucked up person, i cannot just go and edit the page's HTML each time. I *have* to write a thing that does a thing and is a funny system of gears. Once i get that running, music reviews and OC wiki it is (hopefully)

over years of progressing with myartgallery and neomanager as a whole, i came to a conclusion that i really dislike how it is right now. i will be rewriting its functinoality from scratch, hopefully packed into a much more lightweight package, and then we will see about the promised localhost control app. right now it's too heavy, insecure and unmodifiable to be actually distributed around...

(MyAG is still supported and if anyone encounters bugs, they can report - however, i think i only saw like, 4 people use it at all, ever. I can see it has to be made simpler.)

more like the core architecture is too clunky and cumbersome, so the code that can be reused isn't, and a lot of redundant functions are made. i know how to fix that, but it means a soft reset for the whole thing

Found out you have a website by checking the embed plays in my bandcamp stats that link to your furry music article. Happy that you emphasise the non-electronic side of furry music! Kinda sad that you, too, think i borrowed the "lapfox framework" from em... i actually stole it from Gorillaz

Reminder to go sign [https://ai-petition.neocities.org/]. You can read what's up on the same page. I still didn't see Kyle define his position on the issue, as well as a clear yes/no on if our pages were scraped for generative ai reasons.

yes! i was stoked to find your site as well. the panel you are referring to just had english words cast phonetically in cyrillic as an aesthetic choice lol, but it would be better to use actual russian so i will almost definitely take you up on that offer at some point

Added an anti-ai MOTD right below the intro para. It stays until Kyle speaks up in any capacity. We didn't hear shit since this thing went down, which is suspicious to say the least. I need a guarantee he's not scraping my website for another slop machine. Sign and share the fucking petition. Let's get it to over 100 and then start tagging neocities and Kyle himself in places you can tag at.

I see some places started copying their site to nekoweb. While i understand the urge to do that (and copped my username already, too), i think it's important to keep fighting for this place until the end. I also genuinely think Kyle is an intelligent person and is nearly not as dense as Cool Tech CEOs, and may even listen.

While I understand the frustrations with AI, wouldn't a coding assistant be a good thing for newcomers? People who want to escape the corporate web for more privacy-respecting, liberating alternatives, but don't have the technical knowledge to code from scratch? AI helping folks create a space of their own that's not-for-profit could help bring in a larger demographic.

ai-petition's avatar ai-petition 1 year ago

This "coding assistant" has multiple factors to consider when it comes to it's use. There is the environmental impact, and the quality of the code produced, and the fact that the neocities userbase is one that cherishes the old web.

A website builder tool would be much better suited for the job then AI. There is no need for AI to be here in the first place and only introduces the chance for worse code on web pages.

The environmental aspect is something that Kyle has aknowledged in his blog post yet still went through with trying it. Make of that what you will.

I think that a website builder tool would be really useful. That's something I feel like we could all get behind and doesn't need to integrate AI. Ever used Piczo back in the day? If Kyle wants to expand on ease-of-use web building here, a good free drag-and-drop web builder would be incredible for newcomers who don't know much about coding. :)

that's def the thing about AI tho-- all these other methods, some of them were used for years or decades, all exist and are time-tested and well documented. but someone keeps selling tech CEOs a bill of goods on AI even though it's patently broken in so many places you'd have to be crazy to use it at all.

like, obvs the tech sector doesnt give a shit about the environment (hence strip-mining to make microchips) but you seriously have to spend almost 2ce as much time fixing AI mistakes as you would have just writing code from scratch. it's absolutely the dumbest thing to hit tech since 2010.

the Neoities maintainer person Kyle wants to put AI into the code editor. God knows what else AI is going to do - i didn't see any warranty of our sites not to get scraped so far. Read more about that here [https://ai-petition.neocities.org] and sign the petition, please. I don't want one of the last OK places of the internet to fall like that.

It's not a foolproof anti-scraping solution, but we can use robots.txt (and/or meta name=robots tags) to tell the major cloud LLMs to stay off our sites: https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/go-ahead-and-block-ai-web-crawlers/

sure, robots.txt is a must, but it doesn't mean a lot. neocities hosts our sites, the data is already there, they don't need to webscrape in order to train. I want a warranty from Kyle that we're not used as training data.

regarding the AI thing gremlin and i have been talking about: it doesn't sound like the Penelope AI is anything more than an analytical engine; sort of an "autocorrect for your code" type of thing. The problem is that KD hasnt said which API Penelope is based on, so there could easily be a corporate datascraper on the other side of it.

I don't know if it is a scraper involved. However the facts of the matter are that Kyle tried at least twice to add "coding assistants" to neocities despite understanding that AI/ML A: Contributes significantly to climate change and B: The neocities crowd is against this kind of stuff, we came here to avoid some the issues that plauge the modern web

So for the sake of being fair, Kyle acted pretty shady and could have potentially thought about scraping the data or selling it to AI companies to use BUT so far there is no proof of that so thats not what I am saying.

What there is proof of is coding assistants being added to the neocities text editor! These got added under the guise that they help and assist new webdevs HOWEVER the code produced by "coding assistants" is notorious for presenting code that is way more trouble then it's worth. What this will realistically result in is more lower quality web pages that don't function or require more time to fix then code that you-

Anyways no, it's was not just autocorrect. When it was functional you would ask it a question, it would give a response based off that question.
