Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

@tg @brentsimmons I also struggled with the „x unread email“-stress I felt from many RSS Clients. But then I installed Reeder 4 on iOS and found out: it’s so much better than all the other clients. No red tags with 1200 unread items…

@pphahnl the struggle is real!

I had to check, but I must have disabled the NNW badge when the open source version was published years ago. Maybe because of this.
Still, books have bookmarks. If I use it as a library, the feed counts tell me what page I’m on.

@tg @irix @brentsimmons #TapestryApp by @Iconfactory is the first I’ve seen that tries something different (treats them as feed items) and that was already getting copied by other apps once it was announced

@tg @brentsimmons These days my RSS unread count is fluctuating between 980 and 1100 😳 At this moment, my email unread is 998. BTW, a large percentage of my email is “phantom” obligation. In fact, probably 90% of it.
Oh, hi Brent. Here’s some more phantom obligation for you.

@simon_w @tg @irix @brentsimmons @Iconfactory Thanks for the shoutout. RSS doesn’t have to look like email at all, I think we’ve done a good job of demonstrating that. I’m pretty proud of Tapestry. Designing it was one of the most fun, and toughest challenges I’ve ever had.

@gedeonm @simon_w @irix @brentsimmons @Iconfactory you /should/ be proud! it's an incredible app!

@gedeonm @Iconfactory wow, that looks amazing. Shame nothing like that exists on android that I have found.

thanks chuck. it's amazing to me someone could say something like that but that's where we are, a time when people just believe there's nothing new.

@nethack if you click the "freebsd" tag, you'll find many blog posts about how to do things with FreeBSD (and benchmarks, etc.)

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe you are encouraged to continue expanding on your thoughts. it'd be cool if you shared more tips or interesting facts about the OS as well. im ready for anything, but id like to know more from a veteran perspective such as yours.

@mau @aitech la domanda, per l'umano, nasce sempre da un modo di sentirsi vivere in un mondo quando i profili di mondo che incontra suscitano sorpresa, spaesamento, curiosità... Un fenomeno estraneo a una macchina che, in quanto tale, non ha né mondo né contesto.
La domanda "come mai la mela cade da un albero?" me la faccio perché ho una precompressione pratica e vissuta di cosa significa stare vicino, sopra o sotto un albero, da solo o con altri... A partire da quella domanda, se allestisco un esperimento per trovare una risposta non è l'apparato sperimentale che mi fornisce una risposta ma il mio modo di riflettere sulle eventuali invarianze che il dispositivo allestito mi restituisce.
Esiste una interessante ricerca che mostra come la rimozione delle virgolette, un tempo impiegate nella ricerca sulla IA dai primi ricercatori quando parlavano di "intelligenza" o "apprendimento" ecc..., sia stata una precisa operazione di manipolazione che con la ricerca non aveva nulla a che vedere.
Secondo me è importante, quando scriviamo su un social o generiamo testi destinati a non esperti, che ci si sforzi di non dare per scontati significati nei termini che usiamo e se possibile usare le virgolette in riferimento a termini che pertengono l'umano.
Non sarebbe male tenere sempre presente che, nonostante la fascinazione costruita dalle narrative, quando interagiamo con un calcolatore stiamo interagendo con un insieme di porte logiche gestite dall'algebra di Boole, cioè con dei meccanismi come quelli in figura.

Le etichette personalizzate per i membri dei gruppi su Signal sono apparse poche settimane fa ma con un limite evidente: non c’era modo di controllare chi potesse modificarle. Con la beta 8.3 per Android quel limite sparisce. Adesso gli amministratori del gruppo possono scegliere se il permesso di cambiare le etichette spetta solo a loro oppure a tutti i partecipanti, esattamente come già funziona per altre impostazioni di gruppo.
È una piccola cosa, ma fa differenza in contesti dove i gruppi Signal vengono usati in modo strutturato, per esempio in team di lavoro o comunità organizzate.
Il resto della beta è fatto soprattutto di correzioni: i messaggi ora vengono marcati come letti anche nella modalità a doppio pannello, è stato risolto un crash per le chiamate in arrivo quando l’app gira negli spazi privati di Android, e le GIF tornano ad animarsi correttamente dopo essere usciti dal visualizzatore multimediale. C’è anche un avviso che compare quando si tenta di salvare contenuti in qualità ridotta, così l’utente sa cosa sta scaricando prima di farlo.
Chi usa Obtanium per gestire gli aggiornamenti di Signal al di fuori del Play Store deve abilitare i tag pre-release per ricevere la beta.
