I think the key here is that it's a feed managed by the user. There's not enough commercial potential in that. As a tech company, you want to be the one curating the feed, and you want the user to believe you're doing it in their best interest so they don't notice how you're making money by subtly feeding them ads.
RSS is simply too good for the contemporary internet.
I figured there are interesting people out there who don't really blog often, but who might post something online a few times ever year and whom I'd like to stay updated on. So I started trying to collect some of these relatively inactive personal feeds.
It's not ass noisy as following blogs or social media, which is what I like about it. The only drawback is of course that so few people maintain an RSS feed.
Tech firms and lawmakers still want more specifics on how this is all supposed to work. But if things go as planned, the success of the program would be a major win for the White House, which has been eager to display American technological and industrial might.
So, if it goes according to plan and is a success, it would be a major political victory for the White House/Biden in terms of their eagerness to "display American technological and industrial might".
It's something they want to do, and which if this goes as planned, they will manage to do it. Hence, in politics, a "win". This is different from passing normative judgment as to whether or not it's a good thing: It's a win in the same sense destroying the Supreme Court was a "win" for the previous White House.
I mean, whoever reads the article would also see that they did a similar piece on Trump, listing both positive and negative achievements of his presidency.
I think it's a cool format. The media cycle tends to blow one single story out of proportions while neglecting anything else that happens, this is (imo) a good way to review some of what's been happening the last four years.
Not "they", but Paul McLeary, the Politico defence reporter. Each point on the list is essentially an opinion piece by one of their journalists.
And it's not necessarily saying it's a good thing: It's a thing you might have missed. You could also question whether "the U.S. is producing more oil than anytime in history" is supposed to be a good thing.
Furthermore, as to McLeary's point: Some - such as anyone in the region except the Chinese - might argue it's important that the influence of China in the South China Sea is balanced out by other powerful players. It's not about going to war with China, it's about the continued independence of Taiwan and other fairly fragile balances in the region. It doesn't take a moron to see that the situation is complex.
Then again, anyone going to Oslo in winter should stop by the floating saunas (preferably Oslo Badstueforening)! I don't see much point in travelling around in a sauna boat, but the floating saunas are among my favourite things about Oslo. :)
And the idea that things don't change is so fucking dumb. Don't tell me Obama to Trump wasn't a change. Christ.
What people are really whining about is that they want a quick fix, and they're not getting it because that's just not possible even if half the politicians weren't rotten to the core. But let's not pretend there won't be "real change" in America if Trump is elected again.
Fucking abortion rights were taken away because enough people didn't show up to vote against trump, and now the Supreme Court is a joke. That's a change.
Just dumb.
Worth mentioning that Vivaldi is basically the spiritual successor of Opera, and it's doing pretty well at that. It's still Chromium based though, so unless you really miss Opera for the functionality you're better off with Firefox.
Still, rather Vivaldi than Opera, Chrome, or Edge.
Even so, it would still only add up to 46% of the total population. By this logic, 108.7% of the country would have to be Democrat.
I guess it works if the votes are counted the way the Republicans claim they are.
All they want is to destroy the planet and carry out their genocides in peace. Is that really too much to ask?
Also his idea of "good" is someone who doesn't contradict him. He wants to run the case his way, and no reasonably intelligent lawyer will ever agree to that as it will make them look like idiots and the case is a sure loss.
Looks promising.
I'm setting it up now, was close to give up when it continuously refused to work after setting up an account. Turns out the passwords randomly generated by Firefox is a bit too hardcore for it, I changed to something with fewer special characters and now all is good. :)
Edit: It worked for setting up the interface and my profile, but I still cannot sign in from within it. Seems like a promising project though.
Edit edit: Moved it from a subdomain to a normal folder, now I can sign in, but it still acts a little broken, and doesn't federate. Oh well, I'll see if I'll tinker more later.
