I get the motives behind the "indie web" movement, but I really don't think everyone needs a website.

Just look at the websites hosted on any free web hosting service, both old and new. That vast majority of them are almost empty with messages saying "coming soon" and they tend to stay that way forever, or they just give out a few facts about themselves a blog with only a few posts, and that's it. People don't realize that that's what basically killed GeoCities and other free web hosts. Unless you have something really interesting to share, there is no point in having a personal website. The personal websites you loved to browse back in the day (and maybe now) were the diamonds in the rough.

I do agree that artists, indie game studios, small businesses, non-profits, self-employed entrepreneur's, celebrities, activists, etc should have a website and focus on that rather than social media, but to say that EVERYONE needs a personal website is a bit of a stretch.

@bot @parker @pwm @NonPlayableClown @colonelj Hello, Drew DeVault. Have the authorities contacted you yet?

@RustyCrab No. I almost always pay in cash.

@SuperDicq I thought that was Bruce Perens.

@SuperDicq What was that guy even known for other than writing some book? I always thought his presence was important because him being openly right-wing debunks the whole "FOSS is just digital communism" comment.

Okay, now I REALLY want a freeze dryer despite not having the money or space for one because they would be very useful in situations like this.

@beardalaxy I don't think he's joking. From what I've heard, he is pretty woke.

@Zettour Turns out that you can actually by freeze dried skittles.

@hj I used an invidious link though.

>Makes a video demonstrating a freeze dryer
>Apologies to vegetarians and vegans for showing meat

What's next? Are you going to apologize to freegans because you didn't find the food in a dumpster?
