RSS/Atom is great to follow blogs, news and some social network such as hackernews and reddit.

I hope X/Twitter back to this functionality, but that's a low probability.

Twitter killed their API and RSS feeds "to fight bots" :D

Which killed all the legitimate fun and useful bots and just left the astroturfing and discord sowing kind state sponsored bots.

As was the plan.

Nitter[0] seems to support it still, although it seems unmaintained - not sure how stable it is by this point. if you self host this, you should probably use burner account tokens, anti-botting measures might decide to shut down your X/twitter account

I just restarted using RSS recently. And I discovered I can also use it to track software releases (on github). The url is the release page with .atom appended. Eg

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases.atom

PHP, is that you?

I was just wondering the same. Browser cache is is old and effective, but unfortunately nobody cares nowadays.

People care when the browser cache is holding on to something - "try clearing your cache" is still a very common tech support solution.

Basically (almost) the whole internet backup.

A piece of art.

Vim with LSP (using CoC addon) is the most beautiful thing I could use to programming. It's the best part of VS Code with the best editor Vim.

I agree with you. The pros about IRC are basically its longevity and simplicity, but simplicity doesn't mean better.

Internet Relay Chat beat Slack to real-time chat by decades and helped define much of our early online culture, yet way more people use Slack. Why is that?

I love trackers and still use to create some small songs or music ideas. After original FastTracker II, I used Skale Tracker, MilkyTracker and SunVox (this last one is one of the best music softwares I know). Nowadays I use the new remake of FastTracker II https://16-bits.org/ft2.php. It's quite impresive how they copy almost identical the original one.

It's similar in some parts, but I would say that I inspired more in TCL
