@mattl If your site has an RSS feed, I'm unsure how to find it*. If you blog with any frequency, I'd love if you posted the link to the feed somewhere.

Maybe under your /links/ page, but ideally on /home/ and probably also /blog/archive/ .

* Some platforms have a pretty consistent naming convention like /feed.xml or /rss.xml for feeds, but it requires more guess work that unnecessarily burdens would-be subscribers.

@mattl I suppose if the 'personal homepage' is just a single page site, then sure, no rss required!

A lot of personal sites I care about re-visiting is because the owner publishes new content periodically. For those without an RSS feed, I often dont have a cue to visit their site.

Maybe there is more context to your original prompt that I missed, though.

@mattl It would be nice if everyone had an rss link and feed icon squarely in the visible area on first paint.

@Ask_aubry Do you think any woman would actually agree with that nonsense? It was clearly written by a man posing as a woman.

If you are in #LA #LosAngeles - maybe instead of showing the drama, you could show how peaceful and pleasant it is.

No need to feed Trump's false narrative to the world that LA is having massive civil unrest greater than anything that has happened in the last 40 years that justifies military involvement.

@iris @danielgibert Just to confirm my understanding... the circle around the banana is no eating a banana?

They don't put a diagonal slash through it?

What kind of driving symbols might be in the middle of the red circle?

🍀 Well, how is _that_ for St. Patrick's Day?!

Seen outside a Starbucks in the greater Seattle area.

@skinnylatte perfect! Were gonna do that tomorrow for lunch I think! Thanks again!

@skinnylatte oooh yeah .. too rich for thos trip (brought my 3yo son for whom that experience might not be fully appreciated). Maybe date night though! Ty!

I appreciate all your help! I miss the SF Bay but everything is different since we left during the first year of the pandemic.

@skinnylatte We will be here for a few nights so if you have a rec for Chinese/ Japanese in San Mateo, then we might go another night! I remember there are some pretty good ramen shops out here.

@skinnylatte This one? https://los-moreno-taqueria.hunan-cafe.com/

Asking for my wife who wants Mexican food while we are in the SF Bay Area, btw.

We used to go to Mami Chellis in Menlo Park before we moved away but dont know San Mateo at all.

Best Mexican restaurant or take out in or near #SanMateo of #SF Bay Area?

@kernellogger I'm really disappointed with that response, tbh.

Yeah partly because I want to see Rust expand its footprint everywhere, but partly because I do think that the maintainer could have just left it at "I'm unable to maintain non-C code in the codebase at this time" without calling Rust or other programming languages "cancers".

I'm actually glad that this was raised on social media so I can learn what contributing in open source is like in projects like this.

@kernellogger In professional work and more, blockers need to say "here is what I need in order to say `yes`" instead of just offering a blanket "no". Then, they are part of the solution rather than impeding it.

The maintainer failed this, and therefore demonstrated that this was personal to them rather than about whats best for the codebase that they maintain.

Maybe thats viable for open source projects, but it hasn't worked for me in professional settings.

Stop doom scrolling for a moment to celebrate this environmental win[1]:

> "The Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a district court ruling in the nation’s first constitutional climate change trial, affirming that the youth plaintiffs have a “fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment” while revoking two Montana statutes."

@CWilbur Would love to see youth start a movement to do this in other states (if there are state laws / constitutions that would enable them to do so).

I thought firefish was super promising but it never stabilized so I deleted my account there.

Im already established now but sharkey does sound cool.

Maybe thats the place we should be nudging people to who are toe-dipping in the fediverse.

[edit: "tow" dipping != "toe dipping" - an idiom to mean 'testing the water's temperature for suitability for swimming']

@liztai If.you aren't already can I recommend following @kepano and @nicole ?

@liztai Oh, Im with you! I remember having to load games by switching disks.

@liztai Ok, just to be "funny" in a pedantic sort of way, I want to point out that, as stated, you claim to have about 5.25" of space for RAM in your brain.

A typical high-density DIMM with 32GB of RAM has a volume of approximately 0.4 inches x 2.7 inches x 0.15 inches = 0.01575 cubic inches whereas that 5.25" floppy disk has about 5.5 cubic inches.

So you effectively have about 11,168 GB of RAM in your brain.

Sorry for being the neck beard to point this out.
