FeedCity

rss.chat by Dave Winer, where each user gets an RSS feed to share their posts. It seems to be about small communities on individual servers. While it's still in demo mode and not guaranteed to stick around, it's a thought provoking way to think about at social networking, feeds and the small/IndieWeb.

She stepped out into the garden. It had been a week of unrelenting heat, and though the sun had barely risen it was uncomfortably warm on her pale skin. She lifted her foot and poked a toe into the paddling pool. The surface moved in one glass sheet, and her

Why I'm so impressed by the Atmosphere, and a few apps I like here

Our feeds can work with any feed reader. Examples, the feed of all posts on rss.chat, and a feed containing just mine. We just made a change in the feeds. There will be loose-ends like this. Still diggin! ;-)

As somebody who writes a lot, I've always been interested in personal knowledge management systems and note-taking apps. But what do these frameworks and methodologies actually give to researchers and the broader world? Has there been a meaningful increase of wisdom since these became popular? I went to look for an answer.

The vampire problem, loving an aging pet, a mini rant on AI hardware, Blink-182 x Pac-Man, and a few other links.

New rss.chat feature: It now supports feed discovery, so you can subscribe to any html page on the site in a compatible feed reader. I tested it in FeedLand and NetNewsWire and it works. Works on any instance, not just ours.

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...

In my experience in software development, it's good to start small with something useful, learn how it works before adding big new features. That's the basic principle of bootstrapping. I thought that Mastodon, for example, took on too big a job. Same thing for the protocol ...

The previous post explored crash-safety and explicit failure as a main design pillar of Seamless.

The next pillar is immutability: ordinary application data should be immutable by default.

Shared mutable state makes code hard to reason about. If a value can be changed from somewhere else, every use of that value has to consider what else might have happened. That is exactly the kind of uncertainty I want ordinary Seamless code to avoid.

Read Heartwood by Amity Gaige ★★★★☆ Gripping search for a missing hiker on the Appalachian trail. Told from three points of view, the lost, the searcher and a seemingly disconnected elderly lady in a retirement complex. An enjoyable read.

The pile driving had stopped without me noticing, and it left behind a kind of afterimage, like when I stared too long at the sign over the road and had CAFÉ hovering in my vision when I looked away. Every few seconds there was a silence that bounced my teeth.

The Open Tabs from week 29/2026, not all links are about AI. This week was more about politics and satellites.

wow!! As luck would have it @reversalcine noticed an 80mm lens for my Kodak Retina IIIc for sale on Trademe! Got it for $75 and picked it up from a charity store two suburbs away lol… I had to RTFM…
