Good podcast on the creation of recaptcha: https://pca.st/zze1abc4

Automatic translation is huge for those of us living abroad! It's the only thing that keeps me going to Chrome from time to time.

I was just evaluating Kagi earlier this week. Personally I'm still content with DuckDuckGo, but I'll have to keep this in mind. Especially if DDG keeps building silly things like yet another private browser.

I’ve found that many sites these days have an RSS feed, but don’t advertise it. I’ll come across a site with no mention of it, and then just start trying urls to see if any work. For example:

/feed

/blog/rss

/rss.xml

I wager whatever content management system they’re using automatically creates it.

I just got all my favorite YouTube channels added to my RSS reader (although I use Feedbin directly instead of NNW). I hadn’t thought about doing the same for Reddit!

Love Feedbin! Best money I spend

I know with the rest of their code base signal has stated that their code being open source is mainly for audit-ability, not collaboration. Maybe that what’s going on here?

Not saying that’s a good thing or not

I’m using NetNewsWire which works great but is iOS and Mac only. I’ve considered Feedly, but I would have to do the pro plan because of the cap on number of feeds. I haven’t switched because I have a hard time justifying the cost. I would rather that money go to the people creating the content.

I like ads. Ads support the websites and people that I like. Sometimes I find cool things through ads. I still use UBlock Origin though because ads have broken my trust. They don’t vet them enough, so malvertising happens sometimes. And they absolutely destroyed the concept of privacy across the web.

Obviously Tesla corporate won’t be pushing for a shift in Texas politics. But I would guess the majority of people Tesla would bring to Texas to fill their roles would support a more liberal version of Texas. I think that’s what OP was saying.

I’ve never used it. But it was included in a list someone else linked to in this thread.

My last job was at a credit card company, which really wore on my over time. So much so that I had to take time off afterwards to re-center myself. I would encourage you to not rule out the possibility of working for a for-profit company. I applied to a handful of companies that I considered a benefit to everyone (the company, their customers, and society as a whole). These companies exist, but you have to be willing to wait for the openings. My current company is making a product that will side the transition to renewable energy, and we’re all really excited about that. We’re also hiring, but I’m sure there’s a lot of company that meet that criteria.

If you're into Cal Newport, he's got a new book coming out that seems related:

Another search engine I recommend is Ecosia. They’re slightly better than average with privacy, and focused on the environment. I think they just use straight bing results so I’m not sure how well it handles Chinese searches.
