Scripting News: Tuesday, October 1, 2024
I'm still waiting for the podcast client that can subscribe to OPML lists, so I can subscribe to shows from my desktop, even automate it. If one of them did, we could start curated lists of feeds put together by smart people and influencers. The first podcast client that did this would open up the market, and stand out from the pack. I've been asking for this from the inception of podcasting twenty years ago. I had it in my first podcatcher. It would be great if one of the popular clients of today adopted the idea. Happy to help.#I had a dream last night with many of my dead relatives present. We were at some kind of social event. My grandfather had a new wife or girlfriend, but he didn't recognize me, though he pretended to. My mother was far off in the distance taking pictures. I wonder what that means. Some of them were dead and gone. I had to remind myself of that. Meanwhile both my parents were alive and being themselves. (Heh.) My subconscious has a clear idea of who they are/were, only it doesn't register that some of them are gone. #
Here is the monthly archive for Scripting News in OPML, for September. I've been systematically creating this archive since May 2017. And also have been able to reconstruct the archive for most of Scripting News going back to 1994. I've been doing a lot of work with the contents of this archive in the last month. #
That is where the fediverse will be defined imho, in the intersection between the competing social web services. #
You'll know it's working when they feel they have to match each others' features because with cross-posting their difference in character limits, titles, styling, links etc will be much more visible. #
Activitypub is too much. Cross-posting is exactly right and here now.#

I wish the various networks that broadcast Mets games would standardize on the scorebox position and layout. It's another example of bigco's who aren't customer focused. mastodon.social

If you let enough people congregate in the same space some issues will inevitably arise. Grifters are gonna grift, scammers will try to scam, hustlers will hustle, influencers are gonna try to influence, and business people will try to monetise everything. manuelmoreale.com
I haven't tried this, but this is how we get around ActivityPub, with cross-posting. It doesn't matter what protocol you implement as long as you have a reasonable API. With some money they could and should at Twitter to this. Still reallllly popular. And Bluesky -- increase your character limit. threads.net
