@Edent I cut my teeth during the XHTML wars, so of course still double quote my attributes.
@anon_opin I can see why you’d want to remain anonymous with controversial opinions like “Tolkien was quite good”.
tyler durden: the things you own end up owning you
rustc: actually, that’s impossible
"About your latest purchase, this is not to be missed" is quite the subject line for an email begging me to review a mousemat in exchange for an entry into a £100 Argos voucher raffle.
@CatherineFlick I’m using https://freshrss.org, with NetNewsWire on my phone and laptop to sync things to them. It’s fine, at least when the endpoint that does that isn’t broken.
@catsalad how does a web browser have a social media team where nobody involved is online enough to know that was a terrible idea?
I was just lamenting to myself that I’ve done nothing useful this afternoon while I had a few hours to myself, then remembered I cleaned the kitchen and did some laundry before sinking into the sofa, so well done me.
The problem with self hosting things is that when they break I don’t get to just shrug and assume it’ll magically fix itself in a bit. Thankfully it’s just my RSS reader so it can wait.

Thank you Poe, Quora’s LLM, for providing me details of the Air Force One escape pod, alongside many Quora posts about Air Force One not having an escape pod. (Why yes, I have just watched Air Force One)
@hugh @solderandchaos @CatherineFlick +1 on crowd funding, pretty sure if you post about it there you’ll be covered in a day or two.
@herdingdata @andrew I think it’s that 5G is a big cost bump and doesn’t add a huge amount for most customers who don’t really need the extra bandwidth on their travel router.
@anon_opin how do you think the staff in the places people were out for their late night get home?
@jerry 1998 - everyone’s Windows install is riddled with ad popups from browser toolbars. 2025 - everyone’s Windows install is riddled with ad popups from Microsoft.
I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this, and I’m not convinced the moderators were wrong. If the video featured two people you liked would you still be campaigning that it should be allowed to stay?
