Jason Aten, in a good follow-up to his previous column at Inc. (the one where he described how Muse, running on his Mac, read his Messages database): The entire reason Muse is interesting is that it isn’t just a chatbot, but can actually do things for you. But that promi...

The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder.

We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge.

“The Metric Is Not the Mission is a ten-part examination of how Big Tech moved from building and expanding the open internet to increasingly shaping it around its own metrics, incentives and assumptions.”

Eli Tan, writing for The New York Times, “I Gave My Life Over to Meta’s A.I. Agent and Was Blown Away” (gift link): For one final task, I asked Wren for a good way to spend that $44.99 it had saved me. At this point, it knew my life pretty well. I thought it might sugges...

As you know, FeedCity gives you (private) RSS and Atom feeds for every timeline. Now, podcast posts include their episode’s image in each post.

That means, if you use one of your “Audio” RSS feeds in your podcast app of choice, you will now see each episode’s image instead of none or just FeedCity’s logo.

You can now filter every timeline for “Text” content.

This is in addition to the filtering for “Audio” and “Video” posts. It (currently) does not necessarily mean “text only” - it means “something to read or look at, something that has no playable media”.

Of course, all those “Text” timelines got their own RSS and Atom feeds, so you can integrate them wherever you like. Maybe, you’d like to read your bookmarks on your e-reader? Now you can (if your e-reader supports feeds)!

As a bonus, all posts are now marked with the type - “Text”, “Audio” or “Video” - they are categorised as. You’ll see the icon next to the date of each post.
