interestingly, this was how I learned that flipboard provides rss for each of their magazines, which is pretty cool.

Awhile ago I was messing around w/ mastodon and added a following OPML to every user on my instance.

Not the most useful thing, because it just appends '.rss' to every AP user url (except brid.gy users, where it adds a /rss). So it doesn't actually check if there is RSS at that endpoint.

But it did make me think we should make more use of the user tags, like I should be able to auto-build lists based on the hashtags that people set for themselves

Sorry, everyone, transformer blew outside and lost power. All the bots should be coming back on now

I went out to an arboretum about 1.5 miles away, and something was receiving my messages, but nothing was hitting my nodes (or so I thought, looking at the logs it picked up one of my '!ping' commands and responded, so theoretically could've posted from out there if I kept trying for 30 minutes)

I'm so glad this one posted, I was sitting in a kroger parking lot for about 20 minutes, and this was my last attempt before my final destination (meshtastic said it wasn't received by any nodes)

There were too many reddit posts in @columbus, so I made some adjustments to have it only grab the top of the past week. And then I added in some xpath scraped trivia events from badslava.com so hopefully that works

"Timeline algorithms should be useful for people, not for companies. Their quality should not be evaluated in terms of how much more time people spend on a platform, but rather in terms of how well they serve their users’ purposes. Objectives might differ, from delving deeper into a topic to connecting with like-minded communities, solving a problem or just passing time until the bus arrives. How these objectives are reached might differ too, e.g. while respecting instances’ bandwidth, one’s own as well as others’ privacy, algorithm trustworthiness and software licenses.

This blueprint introduces an approach to personal, local timeline algorithms that people can either run out-of-the-box or customize."
