You're welcome. I couldn't send the email to everyone, just the latest active users.

I am surprised my account even made the list of latest active users. I am happy to see that most of the site still has the same vibe, even 10 years later. Though I will also admit I have been burned out on social media.

What tv shows are you watching? I'm watching Handmaid's Tale, Mr. Robot, Westworld and Dark.

My last post on this network was almost 3 years ago? Interesting! Seeing lots has changed. One thing that seems to have changed is that my family name is now unsupported by the system, joy!

AMP is destroying the fabric of the web, but nobody seems to care. I quit my previous job because of this. They were trying to convert news feeds into AMP articles and feed them with plenty of ads. The solution to AMP madness is to create lightweight sites with minimal amount of HTML, CSS and JS code.

Would a vampire actually need to suck blood or will a human heart pump most of the blood into their mouths once the carotid artery is punctured?

What. I *just* started using that feature.

Let me rephrase: YouTube is probably removing it as the button no longer shows in the new interface. You can opt-in to it and see on youtube.com/new (clear cookies to opt-out again.)

YouTube removed the OPML subscriptions export. Guess I should finally write to code to sync up my subscriptions with my RSS reader.

Why I love data science, you ask? Because it can show biases in the most interesting things. pudding.cool/2017/...

Unfortunately I've ended up back at Press for reading RSS on my Google Pixel. Even though it's not maintained anymore, it's still better than almost anything else out there. I've noticed a bug where it consistently leaves the first article unread though, which is annoying.

I've had a bug in Press where it would not update the article list view. So I would tap on a category and instead of showing me the X unread posts I expect, it will show me whatever list view full of already read articles it decided to get stuck on Only way to get around that is a restart of the app and a resync. That's why I started looking for an alternative.

Wow, so businesses get to have less crappy VoIP but home/non-business don't?

And then Palabre marked over 500 RSS items as read and my reading backlog for the week was gone. Can't recommend that app at all.
