I mentioned the previous post on rss.chat, and it developed into an interesting thread, something that I've never had the option to discuss. AT Proto makes a similar offer to developers that we do. The difference is our world is wide open, it's just already burned-in web prot...

I’m not usually the kind of person who gets excited about wearing a watch. But I am apparently the kind of person who paces around my living room at a quarter to midnight because a tiny computer on my wrist informed me I was 200 steps short of today’s goal.

So here we are, with the story of how I got a Garmin watch to better analyze my bike riding (and my running), and ended up learning to love that cute little bully that now lives on my wrist.

Volkswagen opened pre-orders for the ID. Polo with the smaller 37 kWh battery, starting at under $30,000. The lower-priced model arrives after Volkswagen’s new EV received 25,000 orders weeks after it went on sale.

Next year, during certain times in proposed “entertainment zones,” you may be allowed to order booze from a bar and sip it outside places like Berkeley Rep, La Marcha or Chez Panisse.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

I came across this quote recently, in a different context, and I keep getting drawn back to it. I think it captures something that I’ve tried to write about several times over the last year.

What do we do when we encounter someone who is so convinced of their own righteousness that they justify attacking people, even to the point of lying, painting a false picture of us and the people we work with? I honestly don’t know.

The state of Texas is full of con artists, liars, criminals, and immoral characters holding major positions in their state and local government. Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick has his own podcast and made these remarks. Republicans are so bereft of ideas while whistling Dixie...

Writing at The New York Times, tech reporter Kashmir Hill tells the strange story (NYT gift link) of coming across an AI-generated biography of herself on Amazon.…

Every server's home page carries a feed auto-discovery link — the standard <link rel="alternate"> in the page head, pointing at that server's everyone feed. Point a feed reader at the home page of rss.chat, or demo.rss.chat, or your own install, and it finds the feed by itself, no hunting for the URL. The address is filled in per-instance by a new home-page macro, [%feedUrlEveryone%], so the same template serves every server correctly. Work by DW.

I mentioned the previous post on rss.chat, and it developed into an interesting thread, something that I’ve never had the option to discuss. AT Proto makes a similar offer to developers that we do. The difference is our world is wide open, it’s just already burned-in web protocols, and imho their structure, based on an […]

I’ve requested this meeting because I’ve noticed a concerning trend: It doesn’t seem like you’re reading my mind. This is quite troubling because tasks I’ve never mentioned before are falling through the cracks. All of this could be avoided if you quit relying on written or ...

“After a federal immigration officer fatally shot a man in Maine this week, the state’s major Democratic Senate candidates have embraced a once-fringe position: abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the Washington Post reports. “The leftward shift shows how the contenders, competing in a fast-paced contest to replace Graham Platner as the nominee, are adopting […]

I'm glad you're looking at this, of course I am too. Been using Twitter for 20 years, and gave up trying to get cross-posting working in 2017.  I would love to talk about this, because the text limits are the only thing holding their dynasty up, the fact that their limi...

Election deniers have spent years promoting the idea that the 2020 election was stolen. They believe Donald Trump’s speech finally proves them right.

Yonkers police knew this driver's history, and they weren't going to leave anything to chance. What happened next played out in a parking lot off Bronx River Road. Continue reading…

Doubt you can move Bluesky out of its current track, the direction they seem to take is to expand their lexicon to all kinds of usage (blogs, instagram clones, livestreaming, even federated code repositories etc) this link gives an overview of the current diversity being built in the open ecosystem
