Bloggers and newsletter peeps, I beg you, make your RSS feeds *easier* to find by having them be links on your website, especially on mobile. I am a lazy person, so having to hit share, and then my RSS reader app is sometimes a lot of work VS just double tapping on an RSS link. Also, sometimes, my RSS reader can't find your RSS feed. I *want* to follow you, but not by email. I use email for communication. #RSS #WebDev #Newsletter
@brendt Thanks for your Things I wish I knew when I started programming presentation on the meetup in Eindhoven. It was a good talk and flashback to old times.

This is so amazing: In 1970, the city of Paris organised a photography competition, splitting the city into more than 1700 squares of 250 meters length.

Now you can browse the images taken in 1970 in this super cool/simple map, square by square!

I already checked out my old neighborhood ❤️

I've been following this "mutual safety standards recognition" stuff out of the US/EU talks. This could be really, really bad.

It would mean that US vehicles, like those giant dangerous SUVs and pickup trucks, could be freely imported into the EU in volume without having to pass EU vehicle safety standards (like pedestrian safety).

I haven't seen any organised resistance to this. Does anybody know any other organisations that are fighting this?

ETSC: Mutual recognition deal with U.S. will cost lives on Europe’s roads

By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

For those of you having feelings about the end of #GitHub (remember, git != GitHub and we always kind of knew where this is going), making your own collaborative Git platform is very possible: https://forgejo.org

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

A smart angle from Guterres:

"The greatest threat to energy security today is fossil fuels. They leave economies and people at the mercy of price shocks, supply disruptions and geopolitical turmoil,” he said. “There are no price spikes for sunlight. No embargoes on wind.”
