Apple is worth $1 trillion in the same way an asteroid hurtling toward Earth contains $1 trillion in precious metals. Tim Cook has yet to prove he can do more than maximize profits while someone somewhere is working on the thing that'l

I save anything that looks interesting in Pocket and sort it out later. My to-read list never gets bigger than 10 articles. Other people seem to struggle with this.

That's what Moments is supposed to be for. People can make their own, but I rarely see it.

I'll keep this in mind for when I can afford a version of Live that supports this.

You should go to a library some time.

I would like to see a library drone delivery program. I can already order a book from almost any library in the state and have it delivered to the local one. Having a drone take it the rest of the way is the next logical step. That would al

A whole lot of people in here are discovering their tax dollars collectively fund a wonderland of knowledge, tools, and access they had no idea about. It's great. Go to your local library today.

Almost everyone in Georgia has and uses a PINES card, and they're very happy about it.[1] The library here in Winder just re-opened after renovating to add and expand a bunch of non-book services and make room for all the people who go

A newspaper interviewed a local librarian. The interviewer pointed out a lot of people use the free wifi from the parking lot after hours, and asked if that was a problem. "That's the whole point."

I wouldn't mind if AP-using projects like Mastodon also let you subscribe to RSS feeds. That way RSS could keep doing what it's good at while AP handles everything else.

It will be some time before the ActivityPub ecosystem is ready for the enterprise. I was putting it out there for companies that don't need that level of integration or have people who can build it.

I've seen a few companies with their own Mastodon (or compatible software) instances. They can post local-only for internal stuff or just not connect it to the fediverse at all. MIT even has its own.

Most feed readers these days will go and fetch the RSS link from the header if you copy a URL in. It's not great for promoting RSS, but it's not enough friction to stop me from using it.

9/10 times someone complains about politics, they're complaining about those uppity minorities trying to get into their castle. There is a kind of toxic politics that forms in excess order, but in my experience it's rarely wh

Politics are revealed, not created. The revelation usually comes when someone unlike the people already there tries to join without hiding all that makes them different, and all the local assumptions fall apart. The people you perceive as &

It's the "I'd buy that on a t-shirt" problem. People who say it don't usually mean it, and the few who do aren't worth the trouble of making it available.

It's obvious to anyone without a vested interest in Facebook growing forever. However, much of capitalist society is built on the assumption that growth will never end. Things start falling apart when that assumption inevitably proves

I need reading mode and mobile uBlock Origin to use the web. This is something Chrome will never have because it threatens their advertising business.

I read a really good take once that I can't find anymore, but the gist was: sometimes a company knows about a poor decision or a bug, and just leaves it in because it gives them a competitive edge.
