siangsiangsiang Hello! I recently completed a personal portfolio website I’m pretty proud of. Made it with normal HTML + Vanilla-tilt.js (https://siang.nekoweb.org) Just a heads up though, doesn’t work particularly well with phones

# [social] I rarely rename posts, but I didn’t like word choice of “policy” as it was statement of the way things are and have been regarding AI.

# [capjamesg] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3r05g378w4o is interesting.
# [capjamesg] First time I have seen Nostr mentioned on the BBC.
# [capjamesg] 😂
# [capjamesg] The idea of forcing people to record in app is really interesting.

[aciccarello] Welcome ebkaligaris!
# [aciccarello] I've loved my trips to Italy. What part of the country are you in?
[aciccarello] and ebkaligaris joined the channel
# ebkaligaris thank you! i'm in abruzzo, is in the middle of the boot, eastern side. it's 19:37 here, not 17. So what timezone does this chat use?

# [aciccarello] We have people all over the world. I'm in California and it's 10:49. But lots of people in the UK, Germany, and US
# [aciccarello] I've never been to Abruzzo. Venice is the only part of the east coast I've been to.
# [aciccarello] This was my last trip https://www.ciccarello.me/travel/2022/italy/
# ebkaligaris cool! are you regulars or casually stumbled here like me?
# [aciccarello] I'm a regular now but everyone stumbles in at some point 😁
# [aciccarello] Do you have a personal website?

# ebkaligaris i love venice, been twice, have to bring my boyfriend there. he is from rome... some romans don't travel much, too many places around to see, they get lazy ahahah. you actually may have seen places in italy i did not, like pompei! i wanna visit it so much but never find the time!
# [aciccarello] Totally get that. There are so many places in Italy to visit. Many people in the US are similar and don't travel much.

# ebkaligaris i always wanted to come to the states to see a band i like. lord huron. they do concerts in a place called red rocks, the place looks magical in the pictures. lord huron fans call themselves world enders and are a nice community, they have a fb page and often meet in person during the concerts. one day i will go too, but i'm a bit scared of long flights!!

# [aciccarello] I've been to Red Rocks! I saw Needtobreathe there and Johhnyswim. It's a really cool venue.
# [aciccarello] Rome to Denver is a long trip though.
# [aciccarello] A few people have talked about adding the concerts they went to to their website as a kind of historical log. Would be fun to add to my site at some point.
# ebkaligaris i think it would be nice! it's another way of sharing your music taste. also, not every musician is good to see in person, so might be cool to tell people which concerts were an overall better experience.

# [aciccarello] I've played around with reviewing sports events in my local area. I'm not convinced I have a good format but it's been fun to explore
