being an adult sometimes means that you establish a really good community and life in your area and you think nothing could get better than that! or worse! I've got all my people! and then something happens in your best friend's life and they have to move 15 hours away

not sure how familiar NeoCities is with are.na but people constantly bookmark our sites there as inspiration.

there seems to be a general appreciation for small web/indie web (etc) and personal sites there and it's so refreshing :)

please don't be too hard on yourself. you handled it as best you could. and people should stop acting morally superior and judging others' choices when they don't know what options those people had.

thanks, good reminder. I was also thinking while I was writing it, why do I feel like I need to make a statement? but maybe it's helping me process it too.

great read. a lot of AI-related takes online are disturbingly lacking in nuance so I hope you don't take them to heart. thank you for fighting for balance against the hype <3

I think we need thoughtful people giving input on the use of AI. I'm no fan of AI either, but it's ridiculous to expect people to give up their livelihood to stage a protest that will fall on deaf ears. I know it will make people angsty, but the black-and-white takes on AI are quite juvenile in my opinion.

As someone who deeply dislikes the spread of generative AI/LLMs...I don't blame you at all for wanting to keep your livelihood. Job hunting isn't easy and being disabled is hard. At least you're thinking about this stuff and trying to make a positive impact at work, unlike the ones who cheerfully use the tech to scam people, spread fake news, etc.

I'm like exceptionally good at maintaining long distance friendships but still kind of heartbreaking.
I'm bummed but he found a really cute and awesome and perfect house that would probably cost him over $600,000 in this area so good for them.
Man, I'm going to be that friend in a few months. My community is great here, but I'm gonna be the one moving away sadly.
