For the last 25 years, I've relied on RSS for a lot of blogs that I read regularly.

If some of those have adopted slop images, I won't necessarily know, as I don't see their images.

And, if your blog does not have (full text, please) RSS, please do consider adding it! It is the future.

And the past.

This is your daily reminder that #Android is a liability, and major hardware manufacturers who ship Google’s version of Android are a liability too.

We need to get Linux phones to work, and we need manufacturers who are aligned with our principles.

just call it installing

I cannot believe how bad communication is on the TTC. It improved so much during Andy Byford's tenure, since he left it has atrophied to the point where riders are given very little information and often far too late. #TTC #Toronto

No no no.

Its not "age verification software."

Its "building a global digital panopticon owned by tech billionaires and administrated by their paid political stooges."

As an ethical AI user, I begin each session by asking the chatbot to give a stolen data acknowledgement. It is an important first step toward justice.
