No, I’m pretty sure the light dragon flies significantly higher. Low enough to glide to from a launch tower, but some planning is required.

git stash, girl

Because they weren’t going to clear customs at Minas Morgul!

As mentioned, RSS is used by RSS readers to keep tabs on constantly updating content.

Typically this would be something like: today’s sports/business stories, every single weather watch issued by the National Weather Service, or the last 10 blog posts on Daring Fireball.

Like most XML-based formats from the early 2000’s, it’s complex, excessively verbose, and hard to read as a human (hello CDATA) but it’s good enough for computers.

What killed it was Google killing off the most popular reader (Google Reader). They did this mostly because people wouldn’t go to the destination websites… which is bad for their pagview metrics.

Ultimately Facebook came along and put everything behind their wall, where no RSS feeds are available.

That’s the difference between saying stupid shit about how it’s all wind power’s fault to the cameras and then not actually doing anything about it, and actually doing something about it.

Damn straight. Feedbin for me.

It has gotten less useful over time as content went elsewhere, but also I’ve been lazy about moving Substack feeds over.

Also known as “working from home with kids”.

The people outlines are a nice touch.
