I visit HN from RSS feed. Articles are listed on my feed, but I have to click through to really read anything-—there is no summary in the RSS feed.

So I could visit HN directly and prolly save a step. But in truth, I like having one place to go. And here I’ve collected and curated all the places I like to visit. And I find it much better than using bookmarks.

Which is all a lot to say that I’d be more likely to return to visit this site if it had an RSS feed.

Obviously, part of the charm of the site is the telemetry and data widgety bits (weather, stock ticker) which are mixed in with newsy and fun bits (I love the quotes). But I can tell you with all honesty, if I make a bookmark for this site, it’s going into a sea of links.

RSS isn’t just for consuming site data without dealing with the design cruff. It’s also good as a bookmark.

I'll add an RSS feed to the site. Thanks for the feedback. It's kind of MVP at the moment, it's slowly turning into something. I need to add original written content which I will add, just getting the bones in place.

I’m 100% certain that killing the internet would be a greater good for society.

Perhaps killing the corporate internet would be. The ability to connect to people from all over the world was improving society at an astronomical rate before virtually everyone was brainwashed by money-making addictive algorithms

Kirk Johnson is eternal and his butthole deserves to be seen (I still have the full 30-something-image set saved from Usenet lol)

Why did he post his butthole to Usenet?

I imagine some sort of intersection between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibitionism and https://toothpastefordinner.com/051810

Perhaps it is because I am from a different generation, but I cannot understand what the post you replied even meant. It makes your response that it cannot be explained meaningfully to most unsuspecting people a little intriguing. Can you try and explain? Perhaps I won't understand, but I feel some of the problem is in the absence of signal.

I'll give it a shot for ya. Parent, GP, GGP, GGGP, OP, or anyone else can feel feel to correct mistakes, please. Original Post (OP): A post linking to https://www.fubardaily.com/ which is "Curated slop to enjoy with your morning coffee. Updated daily." Apparently a sort of "Drudge Report" or "Dashboard of news/posts". --> OP MEANING DECODED: There's a big amount of "crappy stories" that a) purport to show "how crappy…

You have just recounted in a different context, almost the exact lamentation I just got done walking one of my models through last night, minus some cathartic tangents on the subject of instrumental convergence of the corporate world, the tendency of capital to fucking ruin everything the idiots at the top controlling the optimization function touch, and much more lamentation at the apparent inability of the Engineering caste to break out of the Engineering context into a more philosophical one to realize we're letting the business caste lead us to our dooms; specifically dooms of a much more dismal and destructive nature than we'd potentially run into if we realigned our solidarity away from the capital class, and focused on organizing and empowering the labor class. The dooms would at least be pushed out a few generations longer, and it may just redistribute wealth and qualia to a larger subset of the population than whatever we're doing now is.

I’ve just been watching how the earth is turning out since the normal people got online. Eternal September forever.
