The aid convoy attacked by Israeli nationalist fanatics was escorted by Israeli soldiers. They did nothing to stop the attack.

"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

Celestia is a wonderful piece of free software. Its absence from the usual software managers is baffling. Simulating an from any viewpoint is so easy!

Hey folks, I'm writing a piece for @fumacapt on why RSS matters and why it's cool.

Can you share your personal perspective, resources you go back to, clients for different platforms?

That would be ace.

It's going to be out next week, and it's in Portuguese.

@john_fisherman @fumacapt This is not specifically about RSS, but having standards we can all build around is cool and matters, in general.

With RSS, I am not tied to a specific client. If an RSS reader I currently use doesn't suit me anymore, or it shuts down, I can easily export the RSS feeds I follow and use another RSS reader.

I can even make my own RSS reader, if I wanted to, or use RSS feeds in some other, more creative ways.

@john_fisherman @fumacapt And this also applies to ActivityPub, another open web standard that the fediverse is built around.

Open standards matter, and they are cool.

@john_fisherman @fumacapt The API that time* forgot; the open digest of content that birthed the most content-focused accidental social networks in Google Reader; the format that enabled content portability before it was cool; the remnants of the web where users and their tools were in charge.

Adding RSS to my Google Sheets class reading list was very fun. https://memepool.glitch.me/

*And by “time” I mean “market pressure” with a dash of capitalist incentives.

@john_fisherman @fumacapt I am working in a blog post series about bringing a static site to the fediverse, and one core element is a util I created to convert from RSS to ActivityPub outbox - https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implementing-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website-part-4/

I'm a big fan of NewsBlur. It's open source, but they run a hosted version as well.

I use both the web UI and their Android app which gives me basically everything I want -- being able to track read/unread stories across devices. My only criticism is that the UI is a bit clunky, but I've gotten used to it.

@john_fisherman RSS is my primary way to be able to read a large amount of websites (400 or so). It's the most under appreciated piece of plumbing of the internet. I almost exclusively follow people, not magazines, news or media outlets. Just people writing about their interests, which is a filter/curation in itself. I order them in my reader by 'social distance' rather than topic. See https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/06/feed-reading-by-social-distance/ As reader I use a self-hosted FreshRSS on a VPS. I wrote a tiny client that.... 1/2
