I don't think that's something that RSS (or any other alternative) can fix. I don't think RSS is as toxic as algorithmic feeds, but they are still cut from the same hyper-connected cloth. If you want to fight the algorithmic drip, promote people to connect with others in their community on a small scale.

Even if you have to use the internet to do it, making time to talk (with your vocal cords) to a friend on a regular basis can be much better than mindlessly scrolling or reading endless news feeds.

What might be even better are various other social activities away from a computer. It doesn't have to be highly social either. Just being in a park or library with other people silently reading or feeding ducks can be a highly positive semi-social experience. Just silently enjoying a common experience draws way more connection than the various "social" media apps out there.
How exactly is using what is essentially free energy worse than using heatpumps? You will build datacenters anyway; it _will_ happen, irrespective of using or not using heatpumps. Using 10Mw of energy from a DS would mean that you'd need 2.5Mw less of energy for heatpumping.

Ok, but it was very forgotten in my circles when I suggested we use a ramdisk. Ours was at /dev/shm/ I think. Noone had heard of ramdisks and sounded a bit skeptical but the server is still running and no problems with sluggish pages any more.

Ramdisks are so very handy now when you can have much more than 512 kB ram... :-)
This sounds a bit familiar. I used to work at a medium-sized company whose systems were based on COBOL code and Unisys mini/mainframe hardware from the 80's.
We even had a person employed as a "tape ape"; thankfully not me. Throughout the next decade or two they tried various 4GL-generated facades and bolt-ons but could never escape from that COBOL core. Eventually I think they migrated the software to some kind of big box that emulated the Unisys environment but was slightly more civilized. I have no idea whether they ever eradicated all the COBOL though.

They're not reserved for the wealthy, they're desirable. Self-driving and associated parking minimum reductions doesn't materially change those economics. If you had permission to build large buildings with an ocean view and beach access ... you'd build it with parking and start the studios at $1m like they do half a mile away on Ocean. Build 115% of the units by omitting parking, and you'd probably still sell a studio for $1m, honestly. The demand is deep, global, and pretty inelastic.

Yes, I came here just to post this. I loved Twin Peaks and was devastated when it was canceled after the second season. It was just too deep and cerebral for early 90s prime time TV. But I somehow never even heard about Twin Peaks: The Return in 2018 because it was only on Showtime and I was busy with life stuff at the time.

You didn't look it up very well.

>In 1911, Fisher became founding Chairman of the University of Cambridge Eugenics Society, whose other founding members included John Maynard Keynes, R. C. Punnett, and Horace Darwin. After members of the Cambridge Society – including Fisher – stewarded the First International Eugenics Congress in London in summer 1912, a link was forged with the Eugenics Society (UK).[122] He saw eugenics as addressing pressing social and scientific issues that encompassed and drove his interest in both genetics and statistics. During World War I Fisher started writing book reviews for The Eugenics Review and volunteered to undertake all such reviews for the journal, being hired for a part-time position.

I think that if you:

1. are the founding chairman of the University of Cambridge Eugenics Society,

2. stewarded the First International Eugenics Congress in London in summer 1912,

3. saw eugenics as addressing pressing social and scientific issues, and

4. started writing book reviews for The Eugenics Review and volunteered to undertake all such reviews for the journal

You see this time and time again. A scientist/mathematician/technological leader who thinks because they are the "cat's pajamas" in one field that they are equipped to chime in on another. One example is John Clauser, Nobel winning physicist, making a downright embarrassing attempt to "debunk climate change."

Modern connotations of the word "miscegenation aside" aside (the word's denotation means "mixing of races", which is exactly the correct terminology for the issue), and laying aside modern understanding of "race" vs "ethnicity",
in Fisher's era racial separatism was considered a solution to racism, not only by White people but also by many leading Black rights activists, such as Malcom X and Muhammad Ali in the Nation of Islam. Ethnonationalism may well be a bad idea in theory or or practice, but it's not purely an oppressor's idea. (It's not obvious that there is any unalloyed good solution to racism and human nature.)

If you want official guidance from the collective grouping of all EU member states' Data Protection Authorities, the European Data Protection Board, here you go, but be aware it's a 28-page PDF link:

https://www.edpb.europa.eu/sites/default/files/files/file1/e...

Examples 8, 10, 11, 12, and to some extent also example 3 are pretty good examples of the rules discussed at more length throughout the PDF.

The quote you cited from that unofficial page, and the official provision you cited in your edit, is about monitoring the behavior of people in the EU.

Unless the unofficial site has evidence that anyone official is interpreting it in the way they're implying is potentially possible, it's so unlikely as to be scaremongering. So many laws can be interpreted in unlikely ways that aren't worth worrying about without a reason to worry about them.

To be clear, I don't think it's unlikely that the GDPR might apply if the golf course in Manitoba is specifically monitoring the behavior of people in the EU. but if they are monitoring the behavior of their primarily non-EU user base overall, failing to exclude the EU from their statistics shouldn't be a reason for the GDPR to apply.

I think there's two things being conflated here – 1. the pre-queueing in the station vs going directly to the platform and 2. if they also check tickets during that stage.

In my experience 1 is very consistent – NYC and Philly at least. 2 I'm not sure about. But 1 is imo the big issue. The pre-queue wastes time and clogs up the station and we hate it.
What a cool site. For a long time I've been looking for something exactly like this for discovery purposes.
One exceptions are sadly podcast feeds and clients. Although technically the additional podcast elements or just a basic "non-funky" podcast feed shouldn’t be a hard problem, the podcast ecosystem mostly ignored Atom and produced and parsed only RSS 2. Even Apple‘s iTunes/Podcasts.app which launched in 2005 with support for both, gave up official support for Atom some years ago.
Apparently, David Zucker (of Airplane! and Police Academy!^W^W Police Squad! film-making fame) bought a race horse which he named "All Pink" and instructed the jockey to run the horse as close as possible to the inside rail. The intention was to cause the announcer to say some funny words:

> It was 1989 through 1993. Saratoga, NY, not Sarasota Fla. The goal was to get the track announcer to call out: "...and it's All Pink on the inside!" In fact, it took three horses over about four years. The first horse, "All Pink" ran on the inside, but never got the call. "Ol Pink" ran too close to the rail, and jumped it, ending up on the infield. Finally a mare, "Awl Pink" got the call in late '93. A $60,000 joke.
