It's even worse than it appears..
This why Twitter is still strong. I expected to find the announcement of Tucker Carlson leaving Fox on Twitter, and there it was. Once there's a default way to do something that's deeply ingrained, it doesn't get displaced quickly or easily. That's not taking anything away from Masto which is an amazing accomplishment. Both systems exist and will evolve to have different uses.#
  • Truth be told, the FeedLand platform has been ready to be released as open source for some time. #
  • https://github.com/scripting/feedland#
  • But I haven't been focused on that kind of stuff, so I didn't want to create an expectation that there would be a lot of support. That's still true, but the product deserves to be out there, so very quietly last week I made the feedland repo public. #
  • The SQL commands that create the FeedLand database. #
  • I decided today was the day to post about it, because I have an issue with the database that I want to ask questions about from people with expertise in MySQL, and can't do that publicly without referring to bits that are in that repo. #
  • Last night's Succession was both impossible to watch at times, and in some ways the best most revealing most fun episode ever. #
  • The two sons are complete fucking idiots. And Shiv is her father's daughter and the son he never had. #
  • The moral of this story is the feminist complaint, she was obviously pushed aside because of her vagina, in favor of the idiot penises. #
  • And like the previous episode which ended with Kendall smiling (over something stupid), this one ends with Shiv smiling (over something clever and kind of evil). So I guess in the next one it's Roman, right? Five episodes to go. Two more siblings, plus Tom and Greg. #
  • Who's smiling at the end of the last episode? 😄#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
