FreshRss! It’s a selfhostable web app/server with a browser reader.

The full text extraction takes some technical fiddling and reading, but it works like a charm!

FreshRss also allows you (with some reading/testing) to scrape web pages that don’t have aftual RSS feeds. What I like is that it lets me read on web at work where I can’t use my phone, and use my phone elsewhere, and keep it all synced.

I’m also a data/hoarder type so I like knowing that as long as I run it, I don’t lose my feeds!

Came here to confirm. I also have been selfhosting Joplin Server with several gbs of notes and it works like a dream!

The article says Yoti claims it processes no sensitive information but the article also says that if you fail the age check, it can ask for a credit car or SOCIAL SECURITY number. How the fuck is that not an instance of the collection of sensitive data?

Oh yeah this isn’t very clearly an awful idea /s

I think I saw a post a few days ago about some Lemmy admins using scripts to detect and delete users/communities that seem to be getting randomly created by bots for unclear purposes.

You wanna start it? I’ll help you gather content for it and all…that was the only meme sub I ever liked. It spoke to the inner fifth dimensional Accordian Man inside me.

Great to know! Thanks for the feedback! And I guess I actually am a little behind the times, because I don’t know what the FMJ is. I’m a die-hard torch guy though so I’ll be checking that out soon.

IIRC there’s an episode of Jacobin Radio where they interview the author. Really fascinating, actually! I’ll dig around after work and try to find the link!

  1. Friends and family bankrupted by basic medical needs;
  2. Friends WITH medical insurance unable to afford basic medications like insulin or asthma control inhalers;
  3. The increased atomization of society has led to a collapse of community in most of my country: people don’t care about each other because they can’t because they don’t have the time or money;
  4. It has driven us and continues to drive us towards the complete collapse of the biological systems that sustain our planet at an ever increasing rate.

The only thing people can point and do point to is “oh but more people have more cheap commodities.” Great! At the expense of the common dignity of man and the ecosystems in which he depends, an ever smaller class of bloated egotists has gotten rich beyond comprehension while the rest of the world literally burns and melts in the name of increasing fortunes already beyond any and all conception of need. At the same time, the life of the average person is marked by degraded environments, exposures to industrial toxins, has their profession increasingly made precarious, has the cost of living increase while wages stagnate or shrink, and now is plagued by disasters directly resulting from the climate change a fossil carbon economy has caused.

What about any of that should I like? That I can eat a hamburger for $10 that is mostly ammonia-cleansed meat filler…?
