My periodic rave at how much I love #RSS (I am tying together lots of data for my work) and how it is truly the glue that holds together much of the open web. We are so lucky it gained critical mass before the worst of Web 2.0 took over and that it has lasted. We need to keep it alive at all costs.

It's OK for you to let a post go by on the Fediverse without telling the author they're doing it wrong.

Hi @Vivaldi idea either for the Vivaldi browser "Tools" section or as a dashboard widget: It would be good to have a 100% private "strong password generator" built into the browser additional to the one that suggests passwords for form elements. I find this one sometimes appears, sometimes doesn't.

I just bought my tickets to this year’s #Fediforum, and if you care about the Open Social Web - both Bluesky and Mastodon/Fediverse enabled offerings and beyond—you should too. Very worth your time.

My periodic post that i just love @signalapp as an IM, and use it as my default for both work and home instant messaging chats, etc. I do wish they allowed us to pin more chat groups in the app, even if they just showed 4 and the rest were hidden behind a "More groups" and then you could see as […]

An unexpected obstacle to adoption. I assume Mastodon would be no different: “I spoke with a few congressional staffers who said that they had tried using Bluesky as an alternative to Twitter after Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, but they gave up after their bosses kept getting yelled at by […]

Right now, mainland Britain has got almost enough wind and solar power to meet our electricity demand. Add in the power from nuclear and a small dash of gas (used solely to maintain enough mechanical inertia to stabilise the grid) and we are having to export 4 […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.
