For any of you who do, what is the experience of using RSS in 2023? Are there any RSS apps that are pleasant to use? Sites (other than big content publishers) that publish a feed?

Probably I've grown used to it and stopped seeing the bugs. It filled the gap when GReader was killed off, and I've never had any reason to change.
That said, most of the accounts I was following have declined to little or no activity.

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.
My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.
It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀

The coincidence of #DataProtectionDay and #HolocaustMemorialDay being on the same date is the Universe’s way of reminding us that it’s never about the data. It must always be about the people that data relates to or affects.

"Ms Lopes, a restaurant server, told the Circuit Civil Court she had lost control of her bicycle when a heavy sand truck had veered slightly to its left approaching traffic lights and brushed against her right shoulder."
I don't know if these are Ms Lopes' words or the authors interpretation of them, but should read:
"Ms Lopes was knocked off her bike when the driver of a heavy sand truck struck her from the side as he approached traffic lights"

I also thing picking and choosing what counts as private and what doesn't is ourety arbitrary. You haven't denied any secrets; You granted the government a few million of them today.
1. We're handling the data the way the source requested.
2. The information was secret before, it's less so now.
3. Even with hashing, look ups can be abused and DOBs don't sufficiently identify people - wrongly identified people could be easily targeted. For examples you need look no further than people wrongly flagged by the list because they shared a name and DOB. See https://www.aclu.org/other/problems-no-fly-list-show-problems-capps-ii-airline-profiling-system We're always open to better and more specific suggestions than "dox marginalized people the government targeted"
4. We prefer to make the information completely public whenever we can. It's much less work for us.

These cases are invariably taken against guys to are so drunk that they pose no threat to anyone except themselves, and the best that the State can come up to do with them is to give them criminal records.
Shame.

The reporting around these stories drives me mad as well. Nearly 100% of the time there's a defence of mental illness, with supporting documentation presented at trial. The papers, though, always report these stories in a way that suggests it's funny, and we should be laughing along with them at the defendant.

A thing prep school students are taught is how to speak and write fluently, in a certain register. Some of them are brilliant and back up that genre with real ideas. But on the whole, the student body wasn't any more or less smart than the people I went to public school with in West Virginia; just better educated.
And so many of them write glibly, without caring, about nothing, but in a way that sounds like power.
Anyway, ChatGPT
