What’s not to love about Idris? Ok well not always, but this surprisingly worked.
Well - at least until the final episode.
Just finished the second series - and the fact it took us so many months to work through it speaks volumes. And when I say work … I mean work.
Spending more time looking at Feedland as I seek to work towards a better way of managing my canonical OPML for all feeds …
I know that I am definitely not the only reader of people like Gruber and Ben … but according to Feedland .. nobody else is subscribed to them.I wonder what gives❓
in netnewswire - @brentsimmons allows us to add different feeds to one or more folders - and when you export and import - those folders travel in the import.
in feedland - @dave does essentially the same thing using tags
not sure which way @manton has gone
BUT it does seem that neither method seems to recognise the other
i wonder if that will change?
for what it is worth reeder uses folders
strikes me that if it doesn’t change the single canonical URL for an OPML is still not going to work - even if we do get the readers to read an URL - rather than importing and exporting all the time.
And there we are … fixed. Turns out the real issue was the ‘content extraction fallback’. Who knew❓Not me - that’s for darn sure.
For 2 bucks a month how could I not ‘go pro’ on Chris Hannah’s Mini Roll … though I might be pushing things a little too far as I explore getting
- MiniRoll
- Feedland
- NetNewsWire
- Reeder
- Inkwell and Micro.Blog
all to work together with a single canonical OPML file.
Hang on to your hats.
When I was a lad - this 1969 image had the music press agog at just how much equiment the band Pink Floyd had to go on tour with.

🔗 Why Trump Didn’t Predict the Gas-Price Spike - The Atlantic
How did Trump get Hormuz so wrong? The answer reveals one of Trump’s most characteristic and most fateful mistakes: his steadfast refusal to acknowledge that Americans live in a world economy.
Sam Altman just went on record saying intelligence will soon be sold on a meter, “like electricity or water."
If you don’t understand what he just said, let me tell you.
He is not building a chat interface. He is building the grid for human cognition. And he intends to charge you for your own relevance.
They stole all this data from us, the people. Our life’s work, our creativity, our art. They devoured the open internet and blew through every copyright law on Earth.
And now they want to “sell it back to us” in the form of a utility?!
🔗 Daring Fireball: Jensen Huang Doesn’t Smell Anything
His answer, after taking a moment to think, “America’s unique advantage that no country could possibly have is President Trump.”
Opinion of Jensen drops off the bottom of my chart.
🔗 Decompiled the White House’s New App
Thereallo, after spelunking inside the APK bundle for the Android version:
Has a full GPS tracking pipeline compiled in that polls every 4.5 minutes in the foreground and 9.5 minutes in the background, syncing lat/lng/accuracy/timestamp to OneSignal’s servers.
➕
Loads JavaScript from a random person’s GitHub Pages site (
lonelycpp.github.io) for YouTube embeds. If that account is compromised, arbitrary code runs in the app’s WebView. […]
➕
Is any of this illegal? Probably not. Is it what you’d expect from an official government app? Probably not either.
I just rolled back my Hugo version to ‘recommended far too many errors with what I assume are incompatible plugins.
@manton - suggestion - on each plugin have a warning re whether the plugin is compatible with whatever the Hugo version is so plug in provider checks once and flags accordingly … not all of the community checking every plugin trying to work out which works an which doesn’t on whatever Hugo version is running.
Set default of all plugins to be the base recommended Hugo.. and then each developer can modify after they have tested?
I guess every 🍎 pundit in the world had their 50 years of 🍎 lined up and ready to go this morning. And go they did. Holy crap, that’s a lot of memories.
Claude is galling over - I get it to give me a hand off dic so I can start again - load it up - one request and half way through THAt request it is already compacting the conversation … #LostThePlot
🔗 Scripting News: Monday, March 30, 2026
I had to say this to Claude just now. “this is exhausting. you’re driving me around in circles and saying over and over ‘this is it!’ and it never is. us humans have protections built in to avoid that kind of wasted effort.”
You know sometimes I think it’s me - but if it happens to someone like @Dave - I can rest more easily. That said - friggin’ annoying.
🔗 Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds
Create the experience you want, and the platform custodians clearly want to make sure that customization isn’t limited to technical people. Accessibility is openness too.
