I went to a special high school in NYC, it was a public school you had to take a test to get into. One day our social studies teacher got some gumption, maybe he had a few drinks, or smoked some weed, but he had courage most teachers never had. He told us who we were.
Most of us were going to MIT or some other university that sent workers into the establishment to become cogs in the big wheel that kept the world running. He was right. Although my own path wasn’t that direct, I did get there. I rose to the top in Silicon Valley, then a big famous university. Everything Mr Goldman told us that day was true. But what he probably also saw was that he too was a cog, a tool, a piece of the machine.
I asked ChatGPT to draw a realistic picture of that day in that 1970 classroom.
Mr Goldman lays the hard truth on us.Manu Moreale blogs about taking over blogroll.org and the new design. Love the colors.
I've been working on an all-new feature for WordLand. Expect something in the next few days, Murphy-willing.
To really nail it down, supporting inbound and outbound RSS would justify them saying they are part of the "social web." Today's Bluesky has no business claiming to be part of the web, the system they're hyping is centralized and most definitely not of the web.

The difference between the 2008 crash and now is that we had a functioning government in 2008.
Did you know there's a chain of beating hearts going from your heart all the way back to the first animal on earth with a heart.
I added another issue, about the channel-level title. It should be the user's name, not the address of the feed.
Bluesky has added enclosure support to their outbound RSS feeds. The great thing about it is that people can use Bluesky to create flows that go to lots of other places and now we can do that with images and videos. That a huge door that's opening. And I like it also because they're leading. This is a feature that Mastodon's outbound feeds don't have, yet.
Why we all have to be working together on creating a modern easily distributed communication system that's truly decentralized. The key is to only implement features that have super-simple implementations, so it will be easy to product new versions quickly in all environments. Which means starting with formats and protocols that are already widely supported.
