Does anyone use RSS feed readers anymore? It's been so long since I've used an RSS feed, I can't remember when I stopped. I guess I'm looking for an alternative to the Google feed when I swipe to the right on my pixel 6. I'm trying to depend less on Google. Once I get a pixel 8 I'm going to try Calyx.

Alan Turing was a mathematician & cryptographer who was a leading code-breaker in the team that decrypted Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine during WWII. He inspired modern computing & what became AI.

Instead of being hailed as a genius & hero, Turing was convicted as a homosexual & forced to endure chemical castration. He died by suicide at 41 in 1954.

The British government didn’t apologize until 2009 & Queen Elizabeth II finally pardoned him in 2013. #history #science

Trump has classified documents, Biden has classified documents, now Pence has classified documents. Honestly! How hard is it to tag every classified document, have officials sign them out, and then when they leave office, have a librarian chase them back? Any local public library can do a better job tracking things. Instead of a library fine, you go to jail if you can't produce all the classified documents you sign out the moment you leave office.
