Re:Rise and Demise of RSS
on Monday January 14, 2019 @04:11AM (#18901726)
I find articles like this obnoxious because
1) they (implicitly or explicitly) claim that RSS was at some point popular (with "normal users") in some way that it is not today, which is wrong.
2) they completely ignore the fact that RSS today is significantly more widespread than it was a decade ago.
Yes, Google Reader is gone. Get over it. Flipboard and similar have heaps and heaps of users, and they're all RSS-based.

And there's a beautiful little tool named Bridgy that can pull replies/mentions off Twitter and Facebook and turn them into Indieweb-able entities. It's all really quite great, but of course assumes the terrible, terrible inconvenience of running your own website.

Focus on HTML and CSS. Those will still be relevant in ~10 years, while most of today's JavaScript hotness will be nothing but a memory long gone.

Re:FastMail: Shutting down our XMPP chat service
on Monday November 16, 2015 @12:19PM (#10575637)
XMPP (like many other similar protocols) is failing not because it's "not moving fast enough", but because open standards are required to make a commitment to simplicity (in order to be inclusive towards as many devices as possibility) which, in many cases, directly opposes the requirements of a business (ie. having unique features.)
In the end, it's quite simple: federation and simplicity work _against_ many business cases. This is why this stuff is being dropped by the big players in favor of proprietary solutions left, right and center.
