Yes, thank you for updating with a link! I’m trying to make sure it works out for the different types of content being syndicated, for example some people sent me RSS feeds to micro.blog instances (no titles) and others manually generate their RSS feeds in Neocities, their own static site generators, etc., and that has caused some issues. Since the goal is to have a feed of people who build their own sites / small / indieweb (I’m not quite sure what the preferred term is now) it’s taking a while to get in contact with everyone, but it’s coming along.

Also, I was not aware of Planet, but it looks awesome and I’m going to have a lot of fun learning about it. Thanks for sharing that!

It’s not. You have to enable autoscrolling on TikTok.

My RSS reader! I use NetNewsWire.

It’s from a clip where Trump is showing the price changes for the items everyday Americans purchase, there were more tables with toilet paper, bread, milk, cheese, etc. He was saying that Kamala Harris was responsible for how expensive everything got and that it would continue if she wins.

It is free and open source, it’s my main RSS app on Mac / iOS, and I downloaded Feeder from F-Droid for Android

Roberto Bolaño has been most influential in my life, I first read him as a teenager and many trips, career decisions and lifestyle choices during my early 20s were directly influenced by two of his books: The Savage Detectives and Last Evenings on Earth.

He’s been my favorite author for a long time and certainly the writer I’ve read and re-read most often, but I think I’ve outgrown him a bit during the past year. I’m glad he’s been part of my life for so long though, and I look forward to finding my next favorite author.

Truthfully, never, I’m always honest, but I’m also an advocate for data poisoning and obfuscation. One of these sentences is false.

Scented candles in my office. Makes my work feel much more cozy and less stressful.

Just the man who prompted this question

LOL I don’t see why not!

MacOS Sonoma, released Fall 2023, is available on iMac Pro, released in 2017. That’s the oldest they support, but even the lower-tier MacBook Air and Mac Mini models are supported back to the 2018 models. That’s six and five years.

Fuck Apple and their greedy business tactics, but let’s not just spread false information either.

Where did people use to share their emails to be contacted by strangers?

This is exactly the advice in Voltaire’s Candide. Cultivate your own garden, OP.

This is super helpful, thank you very much.

It was actually easy to create it (I’m on lemm.ee instance) the hard part is I think just being able to maintain engagement.

Agreed! I started a community a couple days ago and I also browsed through the descriptions of other communities to get an idea of what we should put in one (I have no experience moderating subreddits or anything like that) and I found that many had little to nothing in the sidebar.

Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google’s monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it’s hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

I had a crush on a girl during the last few months of my last semester in undergrad (we were both going to grad school in different states). Beautiful and smart, we talked a lot during class discussions, we texted each other once in a while. This girl had me daydreaming while driving and cheesing hard while singing to pop songs with the windows rolled down. So I decide to ask her out. We meet up at a coffee shop, turns out the coffee shop is closed but we walk over to an ice-cream shop and talk and flirt for hours. We hug goodbye and I’m beaming on my way back home. We continue texting back and forth for a few days and I decide to ask her out once again. I ask if Saturday works for her and she replies that she’s going to be celebrating her third anniversary with her boyfriend on Saturday but maybe Sunday would work. I had no idea she had a boyfriend, so needless to say, that went nowhere. Or rather, we both went our separate ways and I’m still considering reaching out once I’m done with grad school.
