This week on #ProFed: the web client now has RSS feeds. Not everywhere yet – authenticated feeds are a harder problem. Every approach I've considered so far is either tooc unsafe, too complicated for regular users, or not supported by most RSS readers.
Ideas very welcome. Are you maybe aware, how other applications do that? Are there any other applications at all, that do that?

After 88 days of near-total internet blackout in Iran,
long-delayed messages, images and poems flooded phones and social media feeds at about 5pm on Tuesday,
when still-limited connectivity flickered back to life.
The first reactions, however, were not celebratory.
Many new posts were threaded with scepticism, anxiety and anger.

This is the way. Unless the profits from data centers return to communities, it's just extraction.
And data centers don't really bring that many jobs. They're a few guys replacing parts as stuff burns out. Maintenance on power feeds. But mostly they sit there, trying to stay cool.

Intriguing. "You and I both eat through the labor of people whose hands we might decline to shake if we just knew a little more about them. Their sentiments are not our own. Maybe they have bad politics. Or they’re kooky about health and wellness. Or they’re racists. In the vast, anonymous network that feeds us all, there are certainly quite a few people like that. If you asked them, they’d have a litany of bad things to say about us, too."

Today 10 years ago was the UK's big morning after... The morning after the referendum, with the dizzying realization that Brexit would indeed become a bitter reality, though no one fully knew at the time just what a shit show it would turn into, bringing out the worst in UK politics, revealing a deep national (though mostly English) insular psyche which still refuses to grasp its post-empire status and feeds on false nostalgia of an imagined past. What followed has been, in part, a not-so-sl…

I now use ads on short form video feeds as a "stopping point" indicator.
Any time I want to be done with the endless scroll, I wait for an ad. Then I close the app.
I know someone is getting metrics on this somewhere. Maybe, it'll net me less ads in my algorithm. And it weirdly has helped me break the scrolling cycle, too.

Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For
Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it. In the age of enshittification, there is a push to reclaim our feeds and networks. Good news: there’s a tool that’s been around for decades that can help wrangle many of your feeds into something manageable: Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known as RSS.

Repeating what's in my profile… I treat Bluesky as a 2nd platform & mostly am on the #Fediverse. My bridged Mastodon account got "suspended" by Bluesky for no reason I could discern, so my posts there never get here. & while I often retoot my skeets, I don't turn many of my toots into skeets.

Trump’s daily declarations about how the war is over or almost over or will be over in 30 seconds or there's a ceasefire hiding under the next rock or whatever? That’s all non-information, just a conveyor belt of nothingburgers he feeds the press for them to dutifully regurgitate.
But •this•? This is actual news.
