It's just another sticker count update, but with a twist: I will now only mail out stickers in a big batch every week, instead of as requests come in. This means people will have to wait up to an extra 7 days to get their free stickers. Surprised I didn't think of this idea earlier since I've spent this entire week of free time modeling tablings for /100 and printing sticker envelopes, but here we finally are

I also owe some people some tablings for /100 but that's now been downgraded to explicitly mention that I model them "wheneverly" because I got other shit to do. You'll get your tabby I promise...

I mean off the record, I also want to do them weekly but just in case more life shit happens I've just removed any time promise at all. They can take a lot longer compared to sticker mailing

yeah. especially because nowadays attention = ddos attacks from bots, and i dont think neocities has enough funding to reliably counterract a botnet if one were to target it

yeah but also I don't think a lot of people would join. Making a website is way harder than just creating an account and adding a picture :/

I dont think its bad that ppl are finding out about indie web through videos!! (thats how I partially found out, because I B watching videoz) I wanna encourage more ppl to switch off socials to make their own sites!! however brachy has a point abt the bots...

i am a big supporter of more people moving away from mainstream socials, and there's plenty of free site templates around that i always like to encourage new users to play with (after all, i got into coding through making templates for my forum pages back when those were still cool). the greater concern is in greater userbase = greater expenses = selling out = enshittification

I'm only here because of that video admittedly. It came at the best possible time for me. I was off work recovering from a surgery feeling sorry for myself. Then I was captivated by his video and was so full of inspiration I spent just about every spare moment I had building a website and connecting with people. I think Neocities bar of entry is perfectly set. People who don't want to work on it won't last.

Nothing big today, just updating some sticker counts. Sweden has joined the party and Canada has taken the lead as the most international stickers received!

I also went to the Apple store an hour south in Delaware to dodge the sales tax and even dug up my dusty old .edu email to claim the student discount. They didn't even check for any student email or ID, they just gave it to me and I do NOT look like a freshman lmao

i did something similar a few years ago - macbooks were like $2k in mexico where i lived at the time so i took a bus to texas, crashed on a friend's couch for a few days, got a new macbook and came home all for much cheaper than buying one in MX

a few months ago i got an m1 macbook pro from Back Market for about the same price as the discounted neo. i've honestly been annoyed with how much i enjoy it, as someone who's wanted to switch away from my iphone for years lol

Yeah it's funny, I don't have any other Apple device and I use this thing like a Linux user with the Terminal and shit, but man these laptops rock. Now that they're repairable anyway (I used to love Framework but the price tag on them... eeeesh)

The dominance of Microslop in laptops get weaker and weaker every day, I probably won't buy a macbook any time soon (the neo sounds good tho), but my lenovo would probably be fine with linux mint if I finally find some time to convert to the good side

Finally 100% fully caught up! There's a SHITLOAD of new sticker counts and countries on the Free Stickers page, a few new buttons and a new fanart on the Other Stuff page, and a handful of other little things. NOW I can get back to making other stuff
