“It’s tempting to say we’re stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…

Yes, we are and it’s removed for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.

“but in fact, we’re being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we’ve always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”

Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the removeding claim.

Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.

No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.

FreshRSS is cools. The way mamma used to make.
