FeedCity

Many of the questions about RSS.chat center on how do we make this centralized. I don't want this, I want feed readers to add some features and then we can connect these systems together in a million different ways. They just have to think differently about subscription lists. Not radically different, even.

Wanted to switch but nothing I tried is as great a driving experience the Model Y is. Instead I've had a lot of fender benders and haven't gotten any of them fixed.

1. Backed into a charging station.
2. An act of terrorism (exaggerating) but I caused it, and paid for it, dented the well over right rear wheel.
3. My right side mirror was pulled off its foundation hitting the side of the garage, used duck tape to keep it going. A new one costs $1000. I like the look.
4. A deer ran in front of my car and took out the panel over the right front wheel. I was able to force the metal back in. A friend saw the car and said "hit a deer eh?" Yup.

I don't know if it accomplishes anything but to me it feels like retribution of a sort.

Starting to make some slow progress with Google approving Micro.blog → YouTube uploads. They’ve approved the auth scopes, but they didn’t like my privacy policy. A couple edits today, hopefully will go through. 🤞

Sunday evening session in Brighton

I wrote this post on Thursday, July 23rd, and reviewed and slightly refined it today. I have left the post as a stream of consciousness – a snippet of my mind as it was on the morning I walked around and saw the world. Walking among the stream of people; of stories of life —...

I woke early — it has been warm lately. It is strange how you can find a burst of energy at 5am, but today it came, for I decided to organise my bookshelves, sorting what books I am ready to donate to the local charity shop. I picked up books — stories — and thought about th...

I think some of the frustration with AI comes down to invasive UI. There’s a difference between an app that uses AI behind the scenes compared to an app that is always getting in the way: suggesting replies to an email, allow fancy edits no one asked for, adding a chatbot where it’s not needed, etc.

It has been a while since I added anything new to my Honda Element. Some of the previous posts in this series include CarPlay, rooftop solar, weBoost, and a bed platform. I have a category on my blog with everything. Over the weekend, my son helped me add a backup camera. Th...

Another Sunday session in Belfast

New docs for the browser JavaScript interface to the RSS.chat API.

Sunday session in Belfast

Scott Hanson has a new service that connects RSS.chat to WordPress.

A note to people who run WordCamp conferences. Get your feed act together. There should be a feed for each conference, and as you ramp up to the big day, the news should flow faster. Help people find other people to network with. Get ideas out that aren't in the conference program.

It's what we used to call a coral reef. A deliberate attempt to get people to do more than it does. To think about the web the way it was meant to be thought of, as small pieces loosely joined, with the emphasis on small. If you have formats and protocols that connect the pieces, you can make anything you want out of the pieces. If we don't try to capture our users, instead we try to serve them.

This all sounds nice in theory, I imagine, but -- there's a practical side to it. I wrote about this in a comment in a thread on rss.chat repo. The key point is this, you can do what you want with the data. And if you want to build new data that includes this stuff, go right ahead. RSS is extensible. It's all about working together in a web of people, because you can't have a web of pages if the developers aren't web'd.

Inspired by Om I’ve been getting back into my DSLR photography. I learned a lot about how ISO settings work from this delightful physics YouTube channel MinutePhysics.
