  • Honestly it’s better to use an RSS server and then manage the feeds in one single RSS feed so you don’t have to shuffle around any kind of local readers. That will make most of them a lot more bearable since their biggest issue is organization. For editing lists of RSS feeds I recommend RSSGuard as it has the best filesystem-like management. Otherwise just use regular expressions on the OPML file

    Sockethub (RSS/XMPP/IRC bridge) for Conversations/Cheogram or the Delta/Arcane Chat bots are my personal choice because chronologically bumping the feeds makes sense to me, muting/archiving/custom notifications is easy to manage, as is inviting collaborators.

    I actually have invented something better than Google Reader (including the social aspect) but it’s kind of a secret rn 🤫















  • Google Maps has better navigation, but Comaps and OM have better management of bookmarking places. The search on Comaps often suffers, so I mainly use my bookmark list searches for stuff. I haven’t used OSand because it was so clunky and horrible right off the bat, but supposedly that is a way to access OSM bus routing. Considering how unreliable many municipal transit network apps and their Google Maps integrations are already, that’s just to be expected tho. Huge benefit is being able to more easily export that data for use in Emacs Orgmode, as with other log files, but that’s kinda complicated

    Google Maps has an insane amount of resources & the time economy of FOSS devs is totally managed by nonprofit donors and/or also overlapping with larger tech employers



  • COVID destroys your natural immunity, it progressively gives you an autoimmune disease. I have some obscure health quibbles with Moderna and Pfizer etc, but the main issue was turning the vaccines into a tool of imperialism. If I could have waved a magic wand I would have chosen a vaccine developed in China or Nicaragua.

    The natural immunity does not come from rolling around in the dirt. Shit like that actually taxes your immune surveillance and makes you get precancerous growths skirting by undetected. The immune system and the brain are not your biceps or your heart, and for that matter, prolonged muscle strain weakens while resistance training strengthens. Is going to the gym natural? No it’s superior and augments natural fitness.

    Natural immunity comes from keeping your blood sugar low overall and without spikes, having a healthy amt of fiber, protein, potassium, physical activity, low stress. This rejuvenates the cute little cellular sugar forcefields we all love so the spike protein cannot get through
