I need a little help please!

The RSS feed for my website is passing the online validators, but doesn't seem to be downloading to any reader. Can anyone help, maybe spot something that I am missing?

I update this XML manually, and just added one item last week which seemed to work fine then. I noticed today that the feed was not updating; to test, I changed the most recent post to today's date which is why it is not last week's.

🤨 Advise : <guid> is an alternate way to link, delete it, and keep <link> with full URL (including the #)

@atlas_des_flux thank you so much for taking the time to explain this, I really appreciate these tips!


Mastodon question: any idea why my notifications are stuck at 40? I've viewed them, scrolled through them, etc. - have logged out and logged back in - yet the number will not change or disappear.
in reply to Mark Hurst

I don't know why they'd be stuck but can you try clicking "Mark all as read" at the top of the notifications screen?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron ahhh that did it, thanks - I missed it because I didn't know the double-check-mark icon meant "mark all as read". but now I know 👍

Synaptic's great. I still use it, but was disappointed to see it's not available for Fedora.

IMO flatpak is all you need. I've come to the conclusion that immutable systems are the future for consumers.

@tante's decision to block LLM scrapers is consistent with his own logic, but it ended up reinforcing the asymmetry between readers who are fluent in English and those who are not. This is not just an irony. The asymmetry operates across the whole of technology discourse. Whose viewpoint is set as the default? What social relations produced that default?」

in reply to wakest ⁂

Huh? You don’t need an LLM to translate something. We had DeepL and Google Translate a decade before LLM was a concept. And what does it have to do with scraping? You just paste text into it or use a browser plugin.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron currently, both DeepL and Google Translate are 100% LLMs now. Before that they were using other types of Machine Learning architecture (that also used large datasets of translated language to do statistical analysis on)

A symbiotic origin of the ribosome?

"The origin of life is one of the great mysteries of science. Of the multiple unsolved problems, the origin of the translation system (the means by which the genetic code inscribed on chromosomes is converted into reliable protein sequences) remains the most enigmatic"

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

@marcprux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen

🤖 "Somos ciborgs": Donna Haraway lo dijo en 1985 y 40 años después sigue siendo radical

Su Manifiesto Cíborg propone un feminismo que rechaza los dualismos que han servido para dominar. El ciborg es bastardo del militarismo y el capitalismo patriarcal, pero los bastardos suelen ser infieles a sus orígenes. “Las máquinas están en todas partes, pero son invisibles”.

🔗 lavanguardia.com/neo/sociedad-…

¿Qué fusiones peligrosas y poderosas siguen explorando para tejer "un mundo monstruoso sin géneros"?

in reply to Sursiendo

Si Haraway suena interesante, échese un vistazo también a la "ecosexualidad" — un movimiento similarmente radical altamente influenciado por el manifiesto cyborg. ^~

De especial relevancia también en una sociedad que cogería alegremente el manifiesto de Haraway como propaganda superficial (para la IA, probablemente) e ignorara todo su contenido real…

XR publicó un pequeño hilo al respecto por (como no 😁) San Valentín; sirve como introducción muy ligera y contiene los enlaces para quien los quiera:

Stuff like this always feels like it reads as "We're going to wait until this fades from the public conscious so we're able to implement it without as much fuss and loss of revenue. Thank you for expending your laughably limited reserve of outrage now, so that we may bypass it in the near future."

portables and their market share are going to save us from poorly optimized games and bloat. Now that it’s a market share it matters. Ultimately everyone gets a win too.
