🔗: What does it feel like to read RSS feeds? via Juha-Matti Santala #Blogging#Rss
For me, a lot of what I like about RSS and what Giles also talked about, is about the things that social media used to be like 10-15 years ago. When the main feed was filled with posts by people you chose to follow/befriend/connect with and it was chronological and every post was visible. https://hamatti.org/posts/what-does-it-feel-like-to-read-rss-feeds/
Some interesting stuff in this week's write-up of other people's #music! Bizarro outsider art, ritualistic goth-industrial, cyberpunk synthwave, trippy downtempo dub and more! Look for it tomorrow morning at my blog:
And remember, you can subscribe to the newsletter version at the bottom of any post, or to the RSS feed (http://etherdiver.com/feed) so you never miss an entry.
I’ve been blogging recently, mostly writing about papers I published before because I realised I’ve not really blogged about them. But also funders seem to like blogs and websites as a way to disseminate research.
In any case, here’s my website and blog: https://manabusakamoto.uk/ #blogging#science#Palaeontology
New post: Blog status update (June 2024): I've brought back my blogroll to my site. Also, my thoughts on why blogging still matters versus the state of social networks and Google (AI, algorithms, bigoted trolls etc.).
Mastodon: "We don't need text based post search by default or easily finding other followers because... federation reasons. And what hashtags are for, I... guess? Also, hope you like Linux?"
Bluesky: "Sure we don't have a clear business model, still missing features even Twitter and Mastodon have, and felt the need to reinvent the wheel with our own federated protocol nobody uses, but we do have... sh*tposting? Also, go back to Mastodon, tech nerds."
@dtgeek Threads: we’ve optimized our algorithm for maximum engagement, which unfortunately means if you’re even the least bit popular, it’s reply guy hell.
I’m not a fitness coach or therapist, but I can tell you nothing has improved my physical and mental health more than the simple habit of taking daily walks…
@dhester I tried hard to do a daily walk, even if it's only inside the apartment (during a bad winter's day). Agree, it does wonders for our mental and physical health.
Does anyone know what the deal is with Blogher? I apparently have an account there -- created in 2011! -- but don’t see how to log in. And every time I click a link, Firefox tells me it’s a security risk.
