FeedCity

Dom Christie has an interesting idea related to listening lists. Aggregate all the shows from all the feeds in a list into a single feed. This seems brilliant because it reduces the implementation in the client to almost nothing, just rebuild a feed periodically, it could be done entirely in the client app. But it also could be something users could share with other users, sort of a meta-channel. I think it's brilliant with the caveat that sometimes when you implement it you find something that makes it more complex than it seems at first. This is the second idea I've heard that the initial listening lists idea spawned. I think there's a lot of unexplored possibilities here.

Yet powerful right wing influencers are now angrily rushing to Hegseth’s defense, urging those senators to stand behind him.

Gertz explains how MAGA is turning this into a test for GOP Senators: Will they surrender to the “liberal media” when it reports facts about Trump, or will they side with Trump and MAGA? If GOP Senators fail now, it bodes badly for what’s coming.

Safari isn’t any better with battery life. I feel like that needs to be shared more as it’s very strong folk tech wisdom that Chrome eats battery and Safari does not, which is apparently not true at all, and might be the opposite. But I don’t care too much about that. I have a first-gen […]
