Sturm is a dangerous drink.

Oh wait, or is that four competing standards? I never followed the development history of RSS, but I seem to remember there's a schism somewhere in its development.

I'd invoke XKCD #927, but three competing standards doesn't seem so bad.

Oh no:
"We — Manton Reece and Brent Simmons — have noticed that JSON has become the developers’ choice for APIs, and that developers will often go out of their way to avoid XML. JSON is simpler to read and write, and it’s less prone to bugs.
So we developed JSON Feed, a format similar to RSS and Atom but in JSON. It reflects the lessons learned from our years of work reading and publishing feeds."
Why am I only just learning about Corinth? Slaughterhouses and naked portraits, what more do you want?
I don’t think Warhammer 40k architecture is that over the top anymore

Preaching to the choir here but it's incredibly frustrating how it's impossible to link to a full thread on Twitter. Parts of it are always hidden in increasingly opaque ways.
This is what I have to deal with over on that site :thinkhappy:

It's nice how easy that is compared to C and Rust though.
Just switch on a comptime value.
pub fn home() ?[]const u8 {
return switch (std.builtin.os.tag) {
.freebsd,
.linux,
.macos,
.netbsd,
.openbsd,

I'm about to turn 40, but I don't feel a day older than 80.
There sure are a lot of people in Vienna that smoke. Actual cigarettes.
Why!?

"LeVar Burton Reads", in which the host typically reads one short story per episode, is an absolutely lovely podcast. I finally had to write a review of it, here:
https://lib.reviews/review/9f1c1b05-3db3-4ca5-bfe1-af5dfe2b7e82
In short, if you like fiction & listen to podcasts, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The review has links to some of my favorite episodes.

@cstanhope There’s a name for this phenomenon as a field of study: Agnotology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology
Think about the tobacco industry or oil industry publishing studies showing the safety of their products or denying climate change and getting this disinformation recycled into the public consciousness through lobbying and media efforts.
But, yeah, literally nobody is immune to propaganda and the construction of counter-knowledge within collective beliefs. It’s a huge problem! 😞
Another name has been rejected by the authorities: Vladimir Putin
Comment from one of the parents: If you see him in real life, you will see that it's a Putin.

Trying to do some nice touristy things but there is a very loud protest against (I think) mandatory vaccines for school children?
