All the Scripting News OPML's for 2025 in one GitHub folder. That's an example of user-owned storage. Repo's something like that tie the world together, if we ever manage to get it together. There's a bit of hope. Paul Frazee of Bluesky pushed a piece last night about user-owned storage. He bound it to his invention, AT Proto, which has very few instances. That's why we need an API above all of this, so he can have his AT Proto stores and I can use RSS and Markdown and someone else who may not even be born yet can use whatever they love. The protocol that connects our services won't know or care how we're storing stuff behind the API. A great prototype for such an API is imho the WordPress wpcom API. #A note to Josh Marshall, David Frum, Jay Rosen and Heather Cox Richardson, just a few of the political pundits I read. Now you all have seen up close the "move fast and break things" philosophy of Silicon Valley, also known as DOGE. They do this with investors' money. This was a preview of how they will govern, after Trump, when Silicon Valley is fully running the world. We need to get some tech background in your writing. The history of tech is very much the history of politics as we go forward. We had a merger, and you can and should incorporate our history in your understanding of US history. #
