Incredible feature.

Today, the good people of the world commemorate the passing of Google Reader eleven short years ago on July 1, 2013.

To honor their memory (and in leiu of flowers) please add an RSS, Atom, JSON or equivalent feed to your web site and keep building towards a web that connects people in meaningful and positive ways.

Banning TikTok shows the myopic vision of our lawmakers. The US needs comprehensive data privacy legislation that applies to *all social networks* and protects our data—and we needed it 15–20 years ago.

The table shows how much of the web is being broken with the release of iOS 17.4.

@aral Thank you Aral!! 🙌🏻

@aral oh my!

…is there a WebC++

We are in the midst of another Google Reader-level community disruption.

It’s a good time to reset, take stock, clean house, and own your content!

If you don’t yet have your own web site—it’s a good time to start!

1. The most crucial piece is ownership of the domain name.
2. Then add content (it can just be plain HTML!)
3. Iterate on it! Make it better, but more importantly—make it yours.
