Do you also have something like <link rel=alternate href=/atom.xml type=application/atom+xml> in your <head> element?

Things like this let me just throw homepages (or blog pages) at feed readers and they can discover all the different feeds available and I can pick one (although you really don't need more than one, generally).

To be fair, there’s a programming language out there already with a cuddly-lobster mascot. A decidedly un-cuddly lobster just maximizes product differentiation.

To be fair to GvR, autoformatters weren’t commonplace in the late 80s and early 90s. Were there even any?

Ever since Go got big, though, everyone else is discovering how fantastically nice they are, and that’s a good thing.

> What happened to actually educating users instead?

I’m against passkeys for all the usual reasons, but people have been trying to educate end users for decades now. The lessons don’t always stick, and new users are being made every year.

I have one-click login with 2FA codes stored in 1Password.

And 1Password will still let me export my crazy-long password and TOTP code to a plain text file if I want to switch to a different password manager (of course, I’ll have to do some planning beforehand to make sure that the export destination doesn’t get picked up by my backup software).

I’ve helped friends with their writing.

If _I_ got this bit of feedback I wouldn’t know what to make of it.

Gray backgrounds used to be the default.

I was under the impression that the National Guard could only be deployed like this if a local politician asked for it. Nobody asked for it for the protests in 2020, so none got deployed. Am I wrong, or did a Los Angeles politician ask for the National Guard’s help?

I use Obsidian as a distant secondary notetaking app.

I use one vault per video game. I don’t need to clutter up a vault just so I can link from a page on Art combos in Xenoblade games to a page detailing all the random things I need to pick up around Hyrule to upgrade this or that piece of armor.

> do you really want to put out a post that you yourself might find useful, but might be considered shallow, low effort, repetitive, non unique by your readers, and a waste of their time?

Yes. If some of my readers don’t like that I do that too often (or even once), they can unsubscribe.

Meanwhile, _as_ a reader, feeds like RSS and Atom are super useful. They let a computer check my favorite sites so I don’t have to.

The other option is people who never got into LaTeX get into Typst (usually by being too young to have gotten into LaTeX in college), and Typst takes over slowly that way.
