Thanks! It uses RSS if it is present. Plus sitemap.xml if that's available, too.

Neat. I'm trying to write a browser, of a kind, which is focused on only presenting content, navigation, and an index of content where appropriate. I'll try to incorporate things like this into my thinking. (Browser is here, very

Genius. Not having to register is brilliant and I love it. I'll be watching this project and using it.

The monopolistic practices are largely about (IMO) forcing standard adoption to make it impossible to develop new browsers. I suspect competition law is ill equipped to turn that into action, though.

I recently saw a "adblockers aren't allowed on youtube" gate from Firefox. I recommend using Minitube on Linux desktop now. Plus youtube-dl and NewPipe.

Never seen a more appropriate username! Can you name some companies in the space? I'm curious to know more.

It isn't an either/or for most countries. I suspect America and Russia will have to change enormously, the rest of the west just needs decent public transport, cogeneration of heat, insulation, and some changes to agriculture. Nob

I'd guess no western governments would fail. Personally I suspect when the west reaches its ideological reflexive response to climate change, it'll look like fascism. I also suspect we'd have preferred communism. What's

Amen. I've heard permaculture courses are good for learning such things and they're really enjoyable. Great example!

What you're experiencing and saying is actually completely right. Issues don't motivate people, and actions lead beliefs as much (or more) than vice versa A paper on exactly this : https://iopscience.iop.org/articl

As jeremiads go, this is golden. I for one and persuaded and am grateful you wrote it. I hadn't considered before that DoH effectively takes an avenue away from people who want to block advertising and trackers. This makes it a fiercel

I mean, given that property as it exists in the modern world is a legal fiction allowing the few to extract from the many, do we not already live in a world of sinister authoritarians?

No advertising = no new businesses = back to medieval, pre-growth times. That is a little bit absurd. Maybe the person you're talking about is on to something. Why not ban advertising? We could just list products and services in direct

I find the criticism of GNOME a bit weird - personally, I love its user interface because it virtually isn't there. It gets out of the way and when I do see it, it feels clean and well organised. I'm old enough to remember the win

He's very much not saying this, he's saying he doesn't want a small number of very large companies to be in control of whether or not his skills are valuable at market. This could broadly be construed as an argument against t

Yet there are enormous amounts of cooperation within free software. There are the various organisations like the GNOME foundation, the Free Software Foundation, Debian, and many more beside. Thousands of volunteers keep these things going t

There are phases in which change happens: Stallman's preaching to people who can actually make free software (eg, people you might find on HN) has accomplished a huge amount of capacity building. He's tremendously good at encourag

You'd think, but as the old saying goes: clogs to clogs in three generations. (Meaning: the first generation starts off poor, is self made, hands over to the second generation which is less dynamic, which hands over to the third who wr

The trouble, perhaps, is that the only ways of measuring performance tend to be financial. Perhaps a poll of the employees, or an association of customers, ought to figure somewhere.

With awful consequences for its productivity and environment, no less. It is easier to commute to central Leeds from Hebden Bridge, Saltaire, and Mythholmroyd than from actual suburbs of the city itself. Utterly ridiculous.

It didn't infect the treasury, it originated there. The treasury is a deeply broken institution, and it has always been resistant to losing "turf". In the 1960s Harold Wilson's administration tried to split its functions

sdf.org is splendid and their webmail is squirrelmail. $36 for lifetime membership is pretty good, and it is a considerably more ethical and private alternative than gmail.

There needs to be a body of law relating to technical matters like this (and interoperability etc) that is adjacent to competition law. Some things we just need everyone to be on the same page about. It is manifestly the case that ipv6 is n
