So far I’ve only encountered one site that blocked automated access to its web feed. I assume that was just an oversight.

It is possible to define a custom locale with these features, e.g. https://andrew.kvalhe.im/2022-09-09

  $ echo "$LANG"; date
  en_US.UTF-8@aspirational
  2026-07-02T11:17:00-07:00

My computer doesn’t make .DS_Store files. If yours does, it’s your responsibility to not litter the codebase with them.

Corollary: My computer does make other kinds of files, and you’d never know it.

That must be some good beer!

Same experience. “No feed found.” I chuckled at the irony and closed the tab.

checks to see if the email server is a catchall

How is this possible? Do they test sending to a few random addresses?

It’s some consumer loyalty scheme for a chain retailer? Depressingly distant from the “bicycle for the mind” I’d dreamed of.

not that impressive

Until you see the scale bar

I just keep a custom stylesheet that annotates usernames with various emoji. Most of the time I update it as I read, but occasionally I’ll peruse the hidden comments to note e.g. uncharitable participation and revealed bigotry.

For about five years an Amazon Fresh in Seattle was literally my closest grocery store but I never once set foot in there, simply because it felt icky and dystopian to let Amazon any further into my life. I wonder how many others felt similarly.

Have a mirror of the TikTok version for comparison? It’s just showing me “Video currently unavailable”.

I’ve always interpreted that question to mean emotionally. Yes, clearly I’m physically injured, but I still have a positive outlook.

When I do hear people respond in the negative it tends to be an opening up about stress.

Was that not possible before?

How is the "shanty town" preventing him from working?

Not working; working out.

How would you determine who is a user of the archive site?

OP frames this like they just stumbled across the blog post but they created an account matching the name discussed within it three months ago?

I’m confused.

What do you think RSS is for?

It originally contained a screenshot of a full-screen notice displaying:

The first reference in the article answers that:

  THE GRAND JURY CHARGES THAT:

  On or about January 24, 2025, in the Northern
  District of Georgia, the defendant, SAMUEL
  TUNICK, before and during the search for and
  seizure of property by Customs and Border
  Patrol Tactical Terrorism Response Team
  Supervisory Officer L.C., a person authorized
  to make such search and seizure, did knowingly
  destroy, damage, waste, dispose of, and
  otherwise take any action to delete the
  digital contents of a Google Pixel cellular
  phone, for the purpose of preventing and
  impairing the Government's lawful authority to
  take said property into its custody and
  control, in violation of Title 18, Untied
  States Code, Section 2232(a).

Is there any legal obligation to send them the old receipt? I’d be tempted to just let them waste their time on it more.
