2026 a Very Productive Year and We Have Many Big Stories to Tell
Last month we changed the looks of the site (we've received only good feedback about that) and this week we test further improvements to the underlying code (Perl) so as to - for the most part - improve the GemText versions in Geminispace.
Seeing the general trajectory and the need for more articles online (real ones, not slop), earlier this month we responded to cuts at the Bezos-owned (censored by/for him) Washington Post by lessening focus on curation with the aim of producing more articles of our own. We have, indeed, managed to accomplish that and yesterday I published 40 pages/articles across the two sites, still attracting over a million requests per day, each day. For the time being we "stay the course" and maybe we'll produce 8,000 new articles/pages by year's end. This year has been productive and calm so far (in spite of disruption/interruption attempts that can only ever backfire).
In hindsight, the number of stories we have batched or lined up for the coming years is vastly higher than we once estimated. The stories will be of interest and relevance to everybody. They cost a lot of money to "produce" (court fees). █
