I use RSS specifically because the people who publish via RSS are not trying to monetize their content.

I don't think this is helpful. The last statistic I saw put RSS at 77% of the web feed market share, higher than Atom. In the web feed market it isn't a protocol on the way out, it…

What do you like about JSON Feed? One of the downsides I saw when evaluating JSON Feed was that it doesn't use GUIDs, which can cause problems when the same post is present in mult…

It's great to see someone else using FeedLand. While it has some quirks, is has some clever ideas, like that blogroll feature. My favorite part of FeedLand is that you can see who …

> It’s Hovers problem what the price behind the door is. This feels key to me. If .sexy is changing fees with very short notice, and Hover doesn't have enough time to inform their …

The linked article "What I learned from one year of Substack" [1] perfectly sums up my experience. I can't read the article because I only see a coercive demand to subscribe first.…

When I checked in 2024 ( https://alexsci.com/blog/is-email-confidential-in-transit-ye... ), Cloudflare had more domains using DANE than Microsoft. But you're right, DANE is not wid…

Typically you don't want to require authenticated encryption for all outgoing email as many mail servers use certificates that are self-signed or otherwise appear invalid. It isn't…

Email currently uses an HTTP request to https://mta-sts. /.well-known/mta-sts.txt, per RFC 8461. Depending on HTTPS/TLS instead of DNSSEC is one major reason you see this approach …

I think the network effects make email hard to replace, virtually everyone online has an email address. If this could include a migration path, with backwards compatibility with SM…

I think that statement is vacuous true for all magical thinking.

The low hanging fruit are claude.md, commits co-authored by Copilot, etc.

> wasn't until late December of last year that AI models started to demonstrate particularly interesting capabilities What are you referring to here?

Does this actually remove from history? The feature says escape, but the back button and history still show the page (Firefox on Android).

I think it's about user agency. When we say that infinite scroll is addictive, we mean that the user keeps on scrolling even when they wish they could stop. It's also about harm. T…

Forgejo is mention in the article, it powers Codeberg. I agree it doesn't have high adoption, but the news is that it is growing.

I may complain that I don't like the way a sleezy con man talks, and I may be able to detect his communication patterns, but that doesn't mean I want the con man to speak in a diff…

> respecting the reader When people say LLM slop is disrespecting the reader, I don't think they are complaining about style.

The unlisted video indexes still exist. https://unlistedvideos.com is one example.

This is an important point, private videos should not be impacted by this as knowing the URL isn't enough to access the video. Unlisted videos are indirect-object reference by desi…

I'm seeing a ton of restricted mode escapes documented online, like https://0xffsec.com/handbook/shells/restricted-shells/ so I'm not so sure. When basic utilities like less, man, …
