The token Democrat on Fox News is not there to undermine the network’s political objectives. She’s there as a useful foil and to make Fox News appear (marginally) more credible as a balanced debate platform. Similarly, prominent progressives on X are reinforcing the network effects that give the site its power.

I'm excited for the Communicator, *especially* the feature that collects my unread messages so I can quickly respond from my home screen.

Are there any existing Android launchers that offer this feature? Preferably open source?

I'm looking to watch this show and would love to meet some other fans. Does anywhere in the neighborhood do a HOTD watch party?

Thanks all

I've got a book coming out on Kindle later this year, and I'd like to pledge 50% of my book sales to a specific charity. I want to include that pledge on the book's cover and in its on-site description. But will this run afoul of any KDP policies?

I'm on the hunt for something kinda unusual: I'm looking for RSS feeds of trending news/most shared/most upvoted articles.

Most RSS feeds are a raw output from a given website, and usually that's exactly what I want. But for this project, I'm looking for news stories that have some level of curation to them: stories that are popular on a a given network (like reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, or X). Murmel (link here) does this pretty well. Turning subreddits into RSS feeds is a good solution here, too. But does anyone have any similar RSS feeds for trending/most shared/rising news stories?

It doesn't get a ton of love in this sub, but the Jelly Max has done great by me for about a year. It's the same height & width as the XZ1c (the greatest compact phone of all time, obvs), although it's much thicker/chunkier, which I've found tolerable. YMMV.

Is this phone pretty? No, not at all. Is the camera great? Uhhhhh.... I mean, it takes photos. Does it have a headphones jack? No.But these are the tradeoffs of size, apparently, and I'll take them.

One thing I wish Unihertz would do for us: issue new security updates! It's been a year, and eventually my employer will probably stop letting me use this phone. C'mon Unihertz, help us out.

I try not to use X.com, but there's 1 account that I need to follow for work. I would LOVE to find a way to add that X account to my RSS reader, but X very tightly locks this down. How can I create an RSS feed from this X account?

So far I've only found 1 way:

• Setup a new Mastodon account
• In IFTTT, setup an applet that reposts content from that X account to that new Mastodon account
• Get the RSS from that Mastodon account and add it to my RSS reader

I can do this but would love an easier workflow if anyone has it. Has anyone solved this?

I'd love a way to queue my export/uploads from Premiere to FrameIO. Here's my current problem:

I'm delivering a handful of assets, each one in a different sequence.

As I finish a sequence (knocking out all the notes that are helpfully in FrameIO) I would love to queue it up to export/upload back to Frame. Why not just export-upload immediately, you ask? Because I still have 3 other sequences to work on, and exporting is taxing on my processor. (And these are very long sequences, so the export/upload process takes a long time.)

Currently, I have to wait until I've wrapped up work on ALL sequences and then I can go back and export/upload all of them to Frame. But that's annoying! It would be so much cooler to have a queue waiting for me, and when I'm ready, I just hit "Export." This was my workflow before FrameIO, when I used to export everything locally via Media Encoder.

So does this functionality exist in FrameIO? Do we have queued export/upload?

This is so cool: u/gregce_ built a newsmap where you can load in your own RSS feeds and see them all displayed. (He kindly did this in response to a post on r/somebodymakethis). I've got this page up on my TV now and it looks so good!!!

You can find it here!

Thanks Greg!!

I really love visualizing news and headlines, and one my favorite tools is the Newsmap. Sometimes I leave it up on my TV so I can check in on the news throughout the day. It's especially useful on really busy days: A quick glance at the TV gives me a good overview. It's faster than watching cable news and it saves me from opening an app and getting sucked in to phone world.

But one drawback of the Newsmap: It's limited to Google News. It would be so cool if I could add the RSS feeds of my preferred sites and see them visualized in the same way. The project is on Github so I think someone with more skills/time than me might be able to do this. It would be so cool!!

Thanks reddit

I don't want to hear another word about AI unless it's "we cured cancer."

I don't want to hear about agents

or tokens

or models

or jobs.

I don't want to see your shitty movie

or how you've ruined another app.

I don't want to have to tell my friend, "Sorry, but that's not real."

I don't want to spend another minute of my life hearing how this is going to change the world.

Either cure cancer

or shut the fuck up.
