  • @sabrinkmann thanks! @UlrikeHahn shared with me a link by Bluesky folks that talked about the potentials of the ATmosphere for sentiment analysis for brands, etc.

    I get it, but the network is still so niche and with so few daily active users that 100 million dollars invested in it seem A LOT. They have stagnant growth.

    For the fediverse, yes I have ideas about sustainability (ie. public institutions treating it as a public utility and funding its server and development costs)

  • @andre123 direi biotecnologia. Si, molto interessante, anche se ci speculeranno sopra parecchio. Bisogna prepararsi alle narrative surreali che ci costruiranno intorno.

  • @Uilebheist aspetto che sia l'ora giusta per mia madre che devo trasportare in auto al seggio, che sennò ci devo andare due volte

    (e lei, che insiste per andarci al pomeriggio, aspetta che io abbia bevuto il té del pomeriggio, che prima mi rifuto di uscire)

    (also, LOL)

  • @matz eh in questi giorni ho lavorato da casa (per fortuna posso), ma domani non so, vediamo.

  • @oblomov ti ci vuole un po' di tempo calmo. Puoi stare a casa?

  • @_elena Thank you for your post! I think this is something we (Fediverse users) need to improve.
    Realistically, I see two scenarios in which they could generate a return on investment: enshittification or using Bluesky to promote the crypto agenda.
    I think there's a very small chance they'll incorporate crypto for useful e-commerce or smaller transactions, like donations or Patreon.

    However, communication about these concerns is lacking. Many institutions only see this platform, which has a lot of money for development and advocacy, as having a better "solution" than the Fediverse.

    We also just talked about that now. I also see many challenges in finding good solutions for financial sustainability for development, community care, and advocacy. Do you have any ideas about this?

    Something like a global "prediction market" involving a lot of cryptocurrency? In other words, gambling.

  • @ciccillo evidentemente quei 2 repository non sono disponibili per la versione di ubuntu che stai utilizzando.

  • @matz almeno mercoledí. Ti dico solo che mia sorella (pneumologa) che non mi voleva nemmeno auscultare (perché con mia figlia sono un po' allarmista, e perché deve partire per il Giappone e vuole evitare di ammalarsi) oggi mi ha auscultato e mi ha tirato giú qualcosa come tre o quattro medicinali diversi.

    In today's video I chat about using Newsboat RSS reader with the Lynx command-line browser. Bread on Penguins' channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BreadOnPenguins A minimalist workflow: My desktop setup is built around i3, and everything I do is handled by simple scripts and terminal tools. There’s no taskbar, no desktop icons, and no visual clutter. My email runs in aerc, my RSS feeds in Newsboat, and my web browsing in Lynx. Everything is fast, predictable, and distraction-free. When I open Newsboat, it immediately loads my RSS subscriptions, a mix of Linux blogs, news sites, and personal journals from friends. It’s not the neatest list in the world (I really should organise it one day), but it gives me exactly what I want, information without noise. Unlike some feed readers that throw everything into one endless list, Newsboat groups feeds cleanly by source. That matters because some sites post dozens of articles a day while others might only update once a month. Separating them lets the quieter voices, personal blogs or smaller projects, actually be seen. Organising information: Newsboat’s tagging system is one of its best features. I’ve got tags for friends, games, news sources, politics, podcasts, and more. One of my favourite feeds is “TheyWorkForYou”, an RSS service that updates whenever UK MPs speak in Parliament. I highly recommend it for anyone in the UK. It’s an easy way to see what your representatives are actually doing, and I think it’s good for democracy to stay informed like that. Some of my other feeds include Boiling Steam, GamingOnLinux, FreeGamer, and a handful of personal blogs like Ghosty’s and Drew’s. Newsboat makes it easy to jump between them depending on what I’m in the mood for, Linux, games, or just something thoughtful to read with coffee. Why I browse with Lynx: When I want to read a full article from an RSS feed, I usually open it directly in Lynx. It’s a text-based browser that runs right inside the terminal. For most of the content I care about, blogs, reviews, essays, or news articles, Lynx is perfect. It loads instantly, displays cleanly, and keeps me focused on the text instead of ads, autoplay videos, or pop-ups. Sure, modern websites are built like web apps now, but that’s exactly why Lynx is such a breath of fresh air. It strips the web back to what it was meant to be: information, text, and ideas. For sites that really need a full browser (say, something JavaScript-heavy), I’ve got Firefox set as an alternative, but honestly, that’s rare these days. I experimented with Dillo too, another lightweight option, but Lynx fits more naturally into Newsboat. I can just press a key to open any article right where I am, no switching windows or leaving the terminal. Page Up, Page Down, and I’m reading. It’s fast, simple, and reliable. The beauty of plain text: All of this ties into what I’ve been loving about working in the terminal again: everything is plain text. Config files, notes, RSS lists, scripts, it’s all just text. That makes it transparent, portable, and easy to automate. For example, Newsboat’s feeds are stored in a single plain text file. If I want to back them up or edit them, I just open the file in Vim. If I want to tweak the configuration, it’s one small text file with a couple of commented-out lines for the browsers I’ve tried. That’s also the philosophy behind how I manage my dotfiles and scripts. I used to use GNU Stow for symlinks, but I’ve replaced it with a few simple bash scripts of my own. Same with address books, why use a complex app when a CSV or tab-separated file does the job perfectly? The more I build my own little tools, the more I enjoy the workflow. It’s like rediscovering the old Unix philosophy: simple tools that do one job well. Where it’s all going: I’ve been spending more time writing lately, both on my blog and in text posts across platforms like the Fediverse and PeerTube. You can find everything at chriswales.wales, which links to all my current projects, podcasts, and social channels. If you’re curious about minimalist computing, or want to see what life looks like when you move away from 'apps' and back into 'tools', I’ll be writing more about this approach, from plain-text note-taking to terminal calendars and to-do lists. And if you’re just starting to tinker with RSS, I can’t recommend Newsboat enough. Pair it with Lynx, and you’ve got a distraction-free reading environment that’s faster, cleaner, and infinitely more satisfying than the modern web.
