It's so true, RSS and Atom are still here and we should use them more.

In a society of atomized individuals, there is a constant emphasis on individual solutions to resolve societal problems as the ultimate horizon of viable action and feasible transformation.
The issue with this line of reasoning is that you cannot save the planet on your own.

"text": "For many of us, myself included, it\u2019s been .. a year. Rather than rehash all of that again, I thought I\u2019d mark the end of the year by just listing some things I\u2019ve loved. Here you go.BooksJulia, by Sandra Newman\n\nNot just a retelling but a complete recasting of 1984. It's helpful to consider this as a separate work: a response to 1984, in a way, rather than a layering on top or a direct sequel. It's a criticism, an extension, a modernization, and a deep appreciation for the ideas all in one - and I was hooked. There's so much I want to write about here, but I don't want to spoil it. The ending, in particular, is perfect.\n\nIt Lasts Forever and Then It's Over, by Anne de Marcken\n\nBreathtaking from start to finish. A zombie novel as carrier for something deeper, so true and so sad. I read it alone in the dark, and thought to myself, thank god, something is real.\n\n\u200cInfinite Detail, by Tim Maughan\n\nA book about what happens when the Internet goes away, yes, but there\u2019s something much more than that: the exploration of humanity as content between advertising, the questions about what happens next post-revolution, the overlapping mysticism and open-source pragmatism, the breathing, beating characters, the class politics woven throughout.\n\n\u200cMoonbound, by Robin Sloan\n\nAn adventure story that didn't quite sit in any of the categories I had for it in my head, and which frequently made me laugh out loud with its tiny details. It sits somewhere between science fiction, fantasy, satire, and a meditation on the role of stories, wrapped up in a whimsical, breezy narrative that was always a joy. I'd hoped it was leading to a more momentous ending than the one that eventually landed, but that's only because the constituent pieces were so satisfying to explore through.TV\u200cOnly Murders in the Building\n\nWhile cozy mysteries have been a mainstay of British TV for decades, American television has generally veered towards procedural stories that serve as propaganda pieces for law enforcement, complete with weak network television writing and story-of-the-week production values. There hasn\u2019t been, as far as I\u2019m aware, a really good cozy series since Murder, She Wrote \u2014 but Only Murders fits the bill. It\u2019s as funny as anything Steve Martin and Martin Short have ever done, but also completely unthreatening: a lovely way to spend an evening.\n\n\u200cSlow Horses\n\nThis ongoing tale of dysfunctional MI5 agents could have been rotten: for example, if it had intentionally glorified the security services of played into tired Cold War tropes. It doesn\u2019t and it isn\u2019t; frequently the worst offender in its seasons is the machinations of the government itself, and its characters are nothing like the spy tropes we\u2019re used to. Most of all, it\u2019s great fun, and pretty one of the best things to have come out of any streaming service.\n\n\u200cDoctor Who\n\nLook, obviously. I\u2019m well-documented as a lifelong Whovian. But this year\u2019s offerings were fresher than usual, if pitched down to a younger audience than the series had been aiming for recently. The two-parter finale was a ridiculous take on an almost 50-year-old story, but episodes like Boom (an anticapitalist tale about the arms trade), Dot and Bubble (which could have been one of the best Black Mirror episodes), and 73 Yards (a kind of time travel ghost story) were some of the best the show has ever delivered. It\u2019s still the best TV show of all time, so there.\n\n\u200cThe Tourist\n\nNew to me this year, this had the right combination of tension and wry irony to keep me watching. I\u2019ve been a fan of Jamie Dornan since The Fall, but Danielle Macdonald is an equal standout: some beautiful acting that makes a ridiculous premise seem real. The second season isn\u2019t quite as good at the first, but only because some of the mystery has understandably been lost.Articles and Blog Posts\u200cWe Need To Rewild The Internet, by Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon\n\n\u200c Rewilding the internet is more than a metaphor. It\u2019s a framework and plan. It gives us fresh eyes for the wicked problem of extraction and control, and new means and allies to fix it. It recognizes that ending internet monopolies isn\u2019t just an intellectual problem. It\u2019s an emotional one. It answers questions like: How do we keep going when the monopolies have more money and power? How do we act collectively when they suborn our community spaces, funding and networks? And how do we communicate to our allies what fixing it will look and feel like?\n\nAn important \u2014 and detailed \u2014 call to action about the future of the internet. In lots of ways it should set the tone for how we build on the internet in 2025.\n\n\u200cOn Being Human and \u201cCreative\u201d, by Heather Bryant\n\n\u200cWhat generative AI creates is not any one person's creative expression. Generative AI is only possible because of the work that has been taken from others. It simply would not exist without the millions of data points that the models are based upon. Those data points were taken without permission, consent, compensation or even notification because the logistics of doing so would have made it logistically improbable and financially impossible.\n\nA wonderful piece from Heather Bryant that explores the humanity \u2014 the effort, the emotion, the lived experience, the community, the unique combination of things \u2014 behind real-world art that is created by people, and the theft of those things that generative AI represents.\n\n\u200cInside Medium\u2019s decade-long journey to find its own identity, by Ryan Broderick\n\n\u200cReplacing Williams was Tony Stubblebine, who may have seemed a little random to anyone scanning the headlines at the time. At that point he was running Coach.me, a personal life coaching platform, and heading up Better Humans, a Medium partner publication dedicated to personal development. But his roots in Twitter and, thus, in Medium, go all the way to, well, before the beginning. In the mid-2000s, he was the director of engineering at Odeo, the podcasting startup that would become the launching ground for Twitter.\n\nTony has turned Medium around, which has been lovely to see. I have emotional but not financial skin in this game: I enjoyed my time working at Medium eight years ago, I\u2019ve known Tony for going on 20 years, and I\u2019m similarly a fan of Ev. But I also just think the more places there are for considered voices to find their community, the better, and Medium has an important take on how to do it well. This piece was a good introduction to all of it.\n\n\u200cWhy we invented a new metric for measuring readership, by Alexandra Smith\n\nWe used to measure our journalism\u2019s reach and impact with website views, visitors, and engaged time\u2014the methods many of our funders insisted on. But even when we included stats about our social media engagement, newsletter subscribers, and member community, our audience data reports still didn\u2019t accurately reflect the ways we were serving people with our journalism.\n\nIn this piece, Alexandra introduced a way of measuring reach and impact for journalism that took into account the fact that audiences don\u2019t encounter it in one place \u2014 that the internet is, in fact, fractured, and journalism often takes different forms to meet its readers where they\u2019re at. That\u2019s light years ahead of how most newsrooms have been thinking. This piece has shaped the conversation since it was released. It\u2019s also thought-provoking for indieweb stalwarts like me: for lots of reasons, I think the website shouldbe the center of the universe for journalism, and ultimately you measure what matters. This approach doesn\u2019t downplay the website but does say: what matters is the connection you make with other humans, wherever it happens.SoftwareTodoist\n\nI\u2019m late to this party, but what an actual joy to find a todo list utility that actually works the way my brain does. The hotkeys allow me to add a task to the list whenever I need to \u2014 often mid-conversation \u2014 and then let me order them by time so I can figure out what to do next. And it\u2019s everywhere I need it to be. No notes or complaints.\n\n\u200cSurf\n\nFlipboard\u2019s new \u201cbrowser for the social web\u201d is ace: an app that wouldn\u2019t have been possible with proprietary social media. Users create playlists of sources \u2014 which is to say, people and publishers, irrespective of where they happen to be publishing. You can then peruse new content by people on those playlists and filter them by links, video, other media, and so on. Not only is the signal to noise ratio far higher, but it\u2019s far less exhausting than other social media apps. It\u2019s now the only social app I\u2019ll allow on my phone.\n\nHTML and CSS\n\nThey\u2019re still pretty great, and getting better and better! Did you know CSS has nesting now? I\u2019ve been enjoying using it.\n\nThe Fediverse\n\nThe single most important improvement to the web in decades. Hooray!Hardware\u200cKobo Libra Colour\n\nHonestly, this ebook reader has changed my life. The color screen (canonically a colour screen, but I\u2019ve been in the States for long enough that I feel compelled to discard the \u201cu\u201d) doesn\u2019t matter to me all that much, but it\u2019s responsive, has really great clarity, is light enough to read one-handed, and, most importantly of all, allows a parent of a co-sleeping toddler to read in bed without waking up his child. That last one is a gamechanger. Also, it works with library books and isn\u2019t Amazon-bound, which were both important to me.\n\n\u200cCalDigit TS4\n\nI\u2019d never really needed a docking station until this year. This thing\u2019s got a bunch of ports, a huge amount of throughput, memory card support, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and sits on my desk in perfect silence. I flip between my work laptop and my personal computers really easily. It\u2019s perfect. Now all I need to add is a USB-C KVM switch and I\u2019ll be able to switch between personal and work machines with one button.Other\u200cAmtrak Metropolitan Lounges\n\nThese days I travel between Philadelphia and New York City very regularly. Amtrak\u2019s generously rewards points system means that I quickly built up enough status to gain access to its station lounges. They\u2019re not spectacularly fancy but do come with comfortable seating and free coffee, and for that alone they\u2019ve been a big upgrade for my commutes. A shoutout also needs to go to the Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station, which improves the experience of spending time at Penn from being locked in the Backrooms to something you might actually choose to look forward to.\n\n\u200cThe Guardian\n\nThe only news publication I let send notifications to my phone (aside from the one I work for). The Guardian\u2019s breaking news journalism is reliably good, and it has specialized feeds to subscribe to particular topics \u2014 not just for high-level topics like Business, but for example, specific news for the Middle East conflict or the war in Ukraine. I also appreciate The Guardian\u2019s responsible, reader-centric approach to funding: despite being paywall-free, readers account for over half of its budget.\n\n\u200cMs. Moni\n\nWe\u2019re reluctantly on the YouTube train with our toddler. There are a bunch of performers who are trying very hard to find audiences in the wake of the success of the likes of Ms. Rachel (who is great) and Blippi (who is like nails on a chalkboard to me, although his stablemate Meekah is a lot better). By far my favorite of the genre is Monica Ferreira: an Australian teacher and professional musician who started recording YouTube videos after experiencing chronic pain. She edits, composes, and builds the graphics for her videos herself, with high production values and no junk content. It\u2019s been a breath of fresh air, and honestly, a relief.What about you?What were your favorite things from 2024? Let me know what I missed.",

That\u2019s light years ahead of how most newsrooms have been thinking. This piece has shaped the conversation since it was released. It\u2019s also thought-provoking for indieweb stalwarts like me: for lots of reasons, I think the website <em>should</em>be the center of the universe for journalism, and ultimately you measure what matters. This approach doesn\u2019t downplay the website but does say: what matters is the connection you make with other humans, wherever it happens.</p><h4>Software</h4><p><strong><a href=\"https://todoist.com/\">Todoist</a></strong></p><p>I\u2019m late to this party, but what an actual joy to find a todo list utility that actually works the way my brain does. The hotkeys allow me to add a task to the list whenever I need to \u2014 often mid-conversation \u2014 and then let me order them by time so I can figure out what to do next. And it\u2019s everywhere I need it to be. No notes or complaints.</p><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://about.flipboard.com/press/announcing-surf-the-first-browser-for-the-open-social-web/\">Surf</a></strong></p><p>Flipboard\u2019s new \u201cbrowser for the social web\u201d is ace: an app that wouldn\u2019t have been possible with proprietary social media. Users create playlists of sources \u2014 which is to say, <em>people and publishers</em>, irrespective of where they happen to be publishing. You can then peruse new content by people on those playlists and filter them by links, video, other media, and so on. Not only is the signal to noise ratio far higher, but it\u2019s far less <em>exhausting</em> than other social media apps. It\u2019s now the only social app I\u2019ll allow on my phone.</p><p><strong>HTML and CSS</strong></p><p>They\u2019re still pretty great, and getting better and better! Did you know <a href=\"https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_nesting/Using_CSS_nesting\">CSS has nesting now</a>? I\u2019ve been enjoying using it.</p><p><strong>The Fediverse</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://werd.io/2024/the-open-social-web-is-the-future-of-the-internet\">The single most important improvement to the web in decades.</a> Hooray!</p><h4>Hardware</h4><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-colour\">Kobo Libra Colour</a></strong></p><p>Honestly, this ebook reader has changed my life. The color screen (canonically a <em>colour</em> screen, but I\u2019ve been in the States for long enough that I feel compelled to discard the \u201cu\u201d) doesn\u2019t matter to me all that much, but it\u2019s responsive, has really great clarity, is light enough to read one-handed, and, most importantly of all, allows a parent of a co-sleeping toddler to read in bed without waking up his child. That last one is a gamechanger. Also, it works with library books and isn\u2019t Amazon-bound, which were both important to me.</p><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://www.caldigit.com/thunderbolt-station-4/\">CalDigit TS4</a></strong></p><p>I\u2019d never really needed a docking station until this year. This thing\u2019s got a bunch of ports, a huge amount of throughput, memory card support, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and sits on my desk in perfect silence. I flip between my work laptop and my personal computers really easily. It\u2019s perfect. Now all I need to add is a USB-C KVM switch and I\u2019ll be able to switch between personal and work machines with one button.</p><h4>Other</h4><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://www.amtrak.com/station-lounges\">Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges</a></strong></p><p>These days I travel between Philadelphia and New York City very regularly. Amtrak\u2019s generously rewards points system means that I quickly built up enough status to gain access to its station lounges. They\u2019re not spectacularly fancy but do come with comfortable seating and free coffee, and for that alone they\u2019ve been a big upgrade for my commutes. A shoutout also needs to go to the <a href=\"https://moynihantrainhall.nyc/\">Moynihan Train Hall</a> at Penn Station, which improves the experience of spending time at Penn from being locked in <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backrooms\">the Backrooms</a> to something you might actually choose to look forward to.</p><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/\">The Guardian</a></strong></p><p>The only news publication I let send notifications to my phone (aside from the one I work for). The Guardian\u2019s breaking news journalism is reliably good, and it has specialized feeds to subscribe to particular topics \u2014 not just for high-level topics like Business, but for example, specific news for the Middle East conflict or the war in Ukraine. I also appreciate <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/help/insideguardian/2024/apr/23/what-rejecting-all-means-for-funding-open-journalism\">The Guardian\u2019s responsible, reader-centric approach to funding</a>: despite being paywall-free, readers account for over half of its budget.</p><p><strong>\u200c<a href=\"https://msmoni.com/\">Ms. Moni</a></strong></p><p>We\u2019re reluctantly on the YouTube train with our toddler. There are a bunch of performers who are trying very hard to find audiences in the wake of the success of the likes of Ms. Rachel (who is great) and Blippi (who is like nails on a chalkboard to me, although his stablemate Meekah is a lot better). By far my favorite of the genre is Monica Ferreira: an Australian teacher and professional musician who started recording YouTube videos after experiencing chronic pain. She edits, composes, and builds the graphics for her videos herself, with high production values and no junk content. It\u2019s been a breath of fresh air, and honestly, a relief.</p><h4>What about you?</h4><p>What were your favorite things from 2024? Let me know what I missed.</p>"
