I see a lot of people complaining about how "RSS readers went away." It's a bit baffling, because they didn't. You just stopped using them 🤷

Reminder: Anyone can block anyone at any time for any reason whatsoever.

i do lowkey wish i was one of those fediverse coding madpersons that upon seeing those issues retreats into the coding cave and after 9 days of radio silence just comes back with a fork of the software that does exactly the things they wanted

Actually inventing or producing things is at best the path to small-time wealth. The really big fortunes -- the billionaire kind -- instead come from controlling the circumstances under which other people are allowed to produce things.

It's a repost, but I think it's worth repeating today.

Starting a band called Main Page. We will quickly become popular, since Wikipedia will have no choice but to include a disambiguation link to us at the top of its own homepage.

Google said it would "delete" location data that show visits to "sensitive" locations, which include abortion clinics and some other places.

In regard to location data, it is a good first step, but limited. It is limited because (1) it excludes all the other places people might not want to be tracked to, and (2) it excludes location data collectors other than Google.

Most crucially, it doesn't include the places where you might someday arrange to meet a reporter to disclose a crime committed by the state.

I am not sure what it means to say they "delete" this data rather than not storing it. Is it just another way of saying the same thing? If it really means something tangible, it seems like a risky mistake.
