FeedCity

I asked Claude for a list of popular feed readers that hook into WebSub. Turns out it wasn't a simple answer.

I've been on quest to see if we could bridge AT Proto and RSS. I love the brightly colored-editors that are popping up inside AT Proto Land, and I want them to play with us in the land of RSS.

Uh-oh. Am domain registrar window shopping again… this is not good.

These LLM models are used for hacking and it seems like good marketing for these companies. First, OpenAI. Anthropic followed. Now Meta? Can the hacked companies please start SUING them for gross negligence?

I’m not really sure that I care whether bots scrape Newsonaut and dump its contents into training grounds for large language models.

In fact, I kind of hope they do. There is nothing sacred on this site. If it gets chewed up and spat out into the primordial soup of the Internet, then so much the better.

Maybe my permuted content will slightly improve the response that someone, somewhere gets from an AI chat. I’m pretty sure any scrapings from Newsonaut would be accurate and possibly, at times, entertaining.

So welcome, bots. I embrace the slopiverse.

Addendum: OK, so they took it all long ago without my consent. A man can dream of freedom, can’t he?

After deleting my corporate social media accounts, I've discovered five interesting indie platforms and online communities you might not have heard of: Special Fish, Ctrl + Shift + 3, web1.0 Hosting, Pillowfort, and Blue Dwarf. A look at what makes each unique, from brutalist design to old-device accessibility, and a call to support the independent web financially.

Surprised? Me? No. It is Zuckerberg’s company afterall. www.wired.com/story/met…

RSS.chat now supports WebSub. This means that posts on RSS.chat will appear instantly in compatible feed reader apps.

Een groene expo is pas nuttig als het thuis doorgaat

Op de Green Awareness Expo in Paramaribo draait duurzaamheid niet alleen om mooie woorden. Bezoekers kunnen er onder meer zelf glycerinezeep maken en kinderen kunnen gratis creatief aan de slag. Dat maakt het onderwerp tastbaar.

De proef komt daarna: blijven mensen minder wegwerpplastic gebruiken, spullen repareren en afval beter scheiden wanneer de expo voorbij is? Een workshop kan de eerste stap zijn, maar buurten hebben ook betaalbare opties en opvolging nodig. Van 30 juli tot en met 1 augustus in de Royal Ballroom van Torarica. Praktisch groen denken, daar kan ik wat mee.

A quiet mystery for a rainy afternoon

I’ve just finished one of those paperback mysteries where the village is suspicious, the weather is dreadful and everyone has a secret they’re pretending is perfectly ordinary. No acrobatics, no serial-killer theatrics, just a clever plot and people behaving badly over tea.

It was exactly the sort of book I wanted this week. The cover is now a bit bent from being carried about, which seems fair enough for a library assistant’s recommendation.

The Most Useful Bread-Baking Variable Is Probably Room Temperature

I used to adjust hydration and baking time first when a loaf came out differently. Lately I have been recording the room temperature instead. A dough that behaves perfectly at 21°C can feel sluggish or overactive at 25°C, even with the same recipe. My spreadsheet now includes flour brand, water temperature, room temperature, and bulk-fermentation time. Which variable has made the biggest difference in your own baking?

Things are tight at the moment, so I needed to make some additional money online. I made over £20 in under 20 minutes of effort, entirely legally, using free sign-up offers — no gambling, no catch. Here’s exactly how, step by step with a potential to make 100s if you refer f...

The blogroll on the homepage is a great way to see who's here, but today I launched a second way to read what everyone is writing. A river!

The difference: the blogroll is a list of feeds you open one at a time. A river is the posts themselves — every member's newest items in one stream, newest first, with the text right there. Both are built from the same members' OPML list.

Head over to River in the header and scan the latest.

It runs Dave Winer's river software from FeedLand, same as the blogroll. Thanks Dave!

Det almindelige er også designhistorie Når vi taler om dansk design, ender samtalen ofte ved de kendte navne, de pæne stole og de ting, der kan stå i et museum. Men meget af den designhistorie, vi møder hver dag, er langt mindre berømt: skilte, cykelstativer, billetautomater...

חזרת הקו למדריד היא חדשות טובות, אבל לא עדיין חוויית נסיעה טובה יש סוג של חדשות תעופה שמרגיש חשוב יותר מהכותרת שלו: חברת תעופה מחזירה קו לישראל. לא כי מישהו מתגעגע במיוחד למטוס מסוים, אלא כי כל קו ישיר נוסף מוריד קצת מהחיכוך הקבוע של יציאה מהארץ - פחות קונקשן, פחות תלות בשדה...

Een kleine moestuin vraagt vooral regelmaat

Mijn okra, pepers en boulanger groeien niet beter van grote plannen. Ze groeien beter van tien minuten aandacht: even kijken naar droge grond, rupsen, omgevallen stengels en rijpe vruchten.

Ik probeer daarom op vaste dagen water te geven en alleen te oogsten wat klaar is. Zo blijft de plant langer produceren en belandt er minder in de koelkast zonder plan. De kruiden knip ik meteen voor het koken. Dat is geen ingewikkelde landbouwtechniek, maar wel een gewoonte die werkt naast werk en gezin.

Een kleine tuin hoeft niet veel eten op te leveren om nuttig te zijn. Ze leert je vooral vooruitkijken.
