So in a way, some Kenyans have taken the work of some other Kenyans, in what looks like a dystopia: “OpenAI Used Kenyan Workers on Less Than $2 Per Hour to Make ChatGPT Less Toxic” [0]

Guess what, #1 is illegal in France: “Nul ne peut, dans l'espace public, porter une tenue destinée à dissimuler son visage”[0] (No one may, in the public space, wear clothing intended to conceal his face). Anti-facial recognition makeup should be fine, though. For the time being.

Exactly. "[A Norwegian philosopher] claims humans are born with a blood alcohol content that's 0.05% too low." A movie directed by Thomas Vinterberg. The trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj8Jmz_srDg

Well, double colon :: is just as convenient, make more sense and not a problem in either French or English. Even in English, you might want to stick an emoji to the previous word. Like Hell::devil:: (my nephew would like that though).

The announcement : https://edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/press-r...

> The launch of the pilot phase of EU Voice and EU Video will help the EDPS to test the platforms in practice by collecting feedback from participating EUIs. The EDPS hopes that this first step will mark a continuity in the use of privacy-compliant social media platforms.

On the linked page:

> Where can I register?

> EU Voice is open for registrations only to EU institutions, body and agencies. However, you can still interact with EU Voice from many other compatible platforms. The Mastodon developers maintain a list of Mastodon platforms open for registration.

DeepL Translation: According to documents obtained by Disclose and Der Spiegel from European institutions, the Swedish company MSAB has provided the Moroccan police with a software called XRY capable of unlocking all types of smartphones to extract data from calls, contacts, location, but also messages sent and received by SMS, WhatsApp and Signal. As for Oxygen forensic, domiciled in the United States, it has delivered a data extraction and analysis system called "Detective". What makes it special? Bypassing screen locks on mobile devices in order to extract information stored in the cloud (Google, Microsoft or Apple) or secure applications on any phone or computer. The notable difference with Pegasus software is that both software require physical access to the mobile device to be hacked, and do not allow remote monitoring.

No details at all though.

Yes, I agree. Flarum is definitely an interesting software.

RSS feeds have become my one and only way to consume the web and subscribe to people, websites and various things on the web.

Tiny Tiny RSS[0] is an addictive RSS reader with tons of options to sort, manipulate, filter in/out, etc. RSS entries. Feed Preview[1] is a must-have Firefox add-on for finding available feeds on websites (and previewing them).

All alternative front-ends to YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. provide feeds to subscribe to people like Invidious[2], nitter[3], Bibliogram[4], etc. (large list of alternative front-ends here [5]).

Fortunately, Github and Reddit, still natively support RSS feeds.

As others have mentioned, WordPress-based websites natively include RSS feeds for the whole website, by category, for comments of a particular post, etc. This is much better than crappy newsletters.

Regarding newsletters, when it's the only option, I use Mailnesia[6] to turn an inbox into an RSS feed.

Speaking of bridges, RSS-Bridge[7] makes feeds available to hundreds of websites through community plugins.

Feed43 [8] is also a great tool to force an ordinary page to be available as an RSS feed.

SearX [9], a metasearch engine, turns into a very powerful tool to watch for something on the whole web with advanced search functions and results available as RSS feeds. This is better than many dedicated tools, imo.

Anyway, I don't think RSS feeds are missing or even dying. But they are definitely a relic of the good old days, when Aaron Swartz was around, and unfortunately reserved for people who are looking for them or are curious enough to dive into that world.

One thing is for sure though: if they disappear, I'm out.

What I realized some times ago, but can't explain (I didn't investigate though), it's that different versions of DDG have different indexes or at least return different results.

This is once again confirmed with the example in the article:

- DDG regular, no expected result: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wikivoyage+malta

- DDG Lite, the expected result is returned: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=wikivoyage+malta

what about Firefox's forks such as Waterfox[1], Pale Moon[2], IceCat[3], SeaMonkey[4]...? Genuinely asking.
