Thanks to Kicks Condor I too have discovered Legible News, which is a great way to scan the previous day's events. But seriously, why did it need someone else to build the RSS feed? I imagine that creating the daily Legible News is fully automated anyway. How hard would it have been to add the microformats to make it an h-feed?
Since getting a new VPN, Spotify thinks I am in Sweden, and it is remarkable how much more tolerable the ads are. Not just because I don't understand them, because they are so much less frenetic.

I'd certainly pay for an app that used RSS (or similar) to aggregate photographers' streams. Heck, I'd even exert pressure on my own favourite photographer to create a dedicated photo stream. I've kickstartered less promising pitches. h/t @chrisaldrich

@jeremycherfas You may be able to get this sort of thing using just about any RSS reader. Just point it to their photo-only streams. Here is mine: cdevroe.com/type/imag...

@cdevroe You should take a look at the post I linked to. You could probably even code the kind of thin Matt was thinking of.

@jeremycherfas Which post? The original for this conversation doesn't contain a link, at least not on Micro.blog.

@simonwoods @cdevroe You’re right. Apologies. It was POSSEd from my Known site to here, and that does not include a link for the post to which I was replying. Here it is
Instagram-like app to track photographer websites

I managed to restore my Apple Time Capsule to proper working order, I think, but how sensible is it, really, to have the reset button and the status lights on opposite sides of the device?
2019 was pretty good. 2020 will be pretty good too. That is all.

@jeremycherfas Amen to that. Cheers to the year to come!

@jeremycherfas Loved the “how to order a cheesesteak” gaffe link; I remember being so scared to order when I first went to Pat’s in Philly and was so thankful for a local who walked me through it all.

@vasta Thanks. It did seem like a worthwhile addition to the coffee story.
The one and only time I had a cheese steak sub in Philly it wasn’t at Pat’s and I wasn’t impressed.

@jeremycherfas Same. I'm more partial to Joe's Steaks if I'm in Philly, but more than a cheesesteak, I'm usually going for a roast pork when I'm in the city.

I had none 6yrs ago, either, but in 2020 after the acquisition? Not so comfortable anymore

More comfortable than I was with Yahoo.

My favourite: “Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and Stalin all lived in Vienna in 1913.”

What gets me about Jason shaving in the shower is not that he thinks he looks too young, but that he might have solved the problem of a mirror that does not fog up. If I could shave in the shower, gosh, how much more time I'd have to be productive the rest of the day.
Just a test comment
