In particular, I wonder whether it would make sense for Mastodon servers to allow you to subscribe directly to RSS feeds or boost/bookmark posts from RSS feeds. AP and RSS aren't the same, and two way comms like replies couldn't work, but probably there's some way to do a mapping that makes sense.
I'm not on the RSS train in general, I've never managed to make it a useful part of my life, but established news sources seem much more willing to set up a passive RSS feed than join the Fediverse.
The toddler and I have been spending 5 minutes each morning screeching on the deck after jogging and the neighborhood hawk flies over to screech back and look confused that someone is talking to her even though she doesn’t recognize any other hawks in the vicinity.

And uh, just want to say....MFing nailed it unless they absolute flub the landing on pacing this season.
Not sure if we're doing #Foundation tin-foil here or not, but when they announced it, I assumed that Season 1 would be “The Mayors” with flashbacks to “The Encyclopedists” and “The Psychohistorians”; Season 2 would be an amalgam of “The Traders”, “The Merchant Princes”, and “The General”; and Seasons 3 and 4 would be some subdivision of “The Mule”, “Search by the Mule”, and “Search by the Foundation”.

And a vacancy tax on domain speculators.
Or just a special tax on the company that snagged my domain when I couldn't afford to renew it for a while and now wants thousands of dollars to give it back.

fun figure showing that 4 fuzzers find mostly totally different bugs when used to test a compiler. alas this seems to be what usually happens. what I take away is that fuzzers are only scratching the surface of the actual pool of bugs.
