.. and magically all is good once more.
See what I mean.
@jsonbecker your inspiration continues.
I am looking at your page: json.blog/archive/
… and had a go at replicating on my site: john.philpin.com/my-archiv… (very much a WIP - focussed on functionality at moment)
the big difference is that my page is pulling 25 or so posts and that is it.
i have attempted to pull the whole shebang and what ever i do fails.
Any particular tricks / advice you might offer?
@billbennettnz I think Fisher and Paykel health is a totally different similarly sized company
@pratik gawd … so which mastodon client do you use - because what I use sucks enough to stop me using mastodon at all.
@pratik am following you @ writing exchange in rss .. and see around 4 posts from you since 2024 …
@bradbarrish I use folders in my rss apps .. that kind of solves the problem but what I really want is to filter post by post … kind of why I don’t like genres in music .. the genre will vary track by track … let alone album by album and certainly not artist by artist .. so as I think through the downside of what I want I become very happy with what I have.
@bradbarrish so all micro bloggers into a single feed for examples
@billbennettnz and quite right too - I am more echoing how people talk - not the reality - as Chris pointed out in his article - the RL order was all about ‘war’ - which might explain the quiet.
Re the ‘more US’ angle - true of Xero as well - no? Another Kiwi success story.
Meanwhile New Zealand Story often talk about how NZ tech is responsible for so much export revenue - 🔗 latest news at Tin - reports $20Billion - Kiwi - TECH EXPORTS
This list includes
Fisher & Paykel Appliances - 1.6 billion - which last i heard was sold to China’s Haier - a long time ago - and I woudn’t call it tech
Datacom - 1.48 billion - which was actually Datacom TOTAL revenue
Xero - 2 billion - and yes a kiwi company headquartered in wellington - but not listed on the Kiwi exchange since 2018 and where
When does ‘Kiwi’ stop being Kiwi?
What is ‘tech’ - because this list includes white goods and media special effects - I would argue that the ‘special effects’ are the exports? If the tech could be exported - why would Cameron just about move himself here to make his films.
… and my belief is that all of this shouting damages the real stories.
Eg - like what a company like Buckley does - not massive revenues like the top 10 - but with revenue per staff member of over 600K (three times that of Xero for example) with products as deep as the are - not to mention the manufacturing issues - that a Xero doesn’t even have to think about is surely a more worthy story than big numbers that don’t add up - and are small anyway on the global stage.
