I'm still not sold on paying for search, mostly because I want a level playing field, but it's an interesting approach to catching slop.

Embracing my role as the world's worst technology promoter, I gave a talk that was nominally on how to drive tech acceptance, but that really was for limiting adoption of hyped technologies to mindfully chosen and proven useful cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc_Sn0UCwAA

In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of Information
The way we consume content on the internet is increasingly driven by walled-garden platforms and black-box feed algorithms. This shift is making our media diets miserable. Ironically, a solution to the problem predates algorithmic feeds, social media and other forms of informational junk food. It is called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and it is beautiful. What the hell is RSS? RSS is just a format that defines how websites can publish updates (articles, posts, episodes, and so on) in a standard feed that you can subscribe to using an RSS reader (or aggregator). Don’t worry if this sounds extremely uninteresting to you; there aren’t many people that get excited about format specifications; the beauty of RSS is in its simplicity. Any content management system or blog platform supports RSS out of the box, and often enables it by default. As a result, a large portion of the content on the internet is available to you in feeds that you can tap into. But this time, you’re in full control of what you’re receiving, and the feeds are purely reverse chronological bliss. Coincidentally, you might already be using RSS without even knowing, because the whole podcasting world runs on RSS.

Genera feed RSS per siti che non lo forniscono

Il piano gratuito supporta solo 5 feed, ma nei miei test funziona bene.

Wikipedia loses UK Safety Act challenge, worries it will have to verify user IDs https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/wikipedia-loses-uk-safety-act-challenge-worries-it-will-have-to-verify-user-ids/

Deeply misguided legislation
Wikipedia loses UK Safety Act challenge, worries it will have to verify user IDs
Judge tossed claim but said UK must not “significantly impede” Wikipedia operations.

I read this: https://leancrew.com/all-this/2025/08/miscounting-sheep/

Then I checked my own Apple Health sleep data, and I got something even more nonsensical, how can the time asleep be longer than the time in bed?
