It's been years since I implemented an RSS/Atom feed myself, and I'm struggling with content encoding for the ATOM <content> element.
From my reading, it should be html-escaped (see first screenshot). But Newsblur and feeder.co are both showing unrendered HTML (second shot).
Are these maybe cached from a previous broken version (as I've been working on this) or is the code wrong?

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE
A Guide from Chicago Organizers
Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but donโt know where to start?
This guide is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during โOperation Midway Blitz.โ
As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices.

So if I wanted to get off of Spotify and take my playlists with me, what's a good accessible alternative, and how do I migrate?
When I used Title last, it was a mess of unlabelled buttons and deeply unpleasant to use. If that has changed then I'm fine with switching but I never got it to work.
Earlier this year I used TuneMyMusic to transfer some of my playlists from Spotify to Pandora, but despite it saying all over the website that it works, it now throws up some weird error about the connection no longer working, Pandora not having an API, and asks if I want to @ Pandora on X to complain about it. No thanks, I click. Why are these buttons always "No thanks" and not "Fuck no" or just "No?"
Are there any nice options I'm missing? I'm fine with CLI tools and CSV or somesuch, just predictably this has gotten worse and I've been putting it off because I didn't have the spoons. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.

In 1859, Abolitionist John Brown was executed for โtreason.โ 1st American ever executed, for the crime of freeing the enslaved.
The 2nd American ever executed for treason was Aaron Dwight Stevens at 29yo, also an abolitionist. He served Brown during his failed raid on Harpers Ferry, VA.
Brown's raid lasted Oct 16 to 18, 1859. He initiated a slave revolt, now called the dress rehearsal to the Civil War.
A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice & morality, but power.

yeah I never really had much of an interest in biology until after I began transitioning, at which point I realized that I needed to cultivate a special interest in endocrinology, stat.
which, it is genuinely interesting! finding out that vitamin D, for example, is a hormone? that's neat.
Yes, if you take a vitamin D supplement of any kind, you're engaging in HRT.

There are a couple of those around here, and they are unsafe on anything other than side roads and urban streets.
That is if they have mufflers, and aren't being driven by a-holes.

Police banning protest against #King as #arrest threatened in Windsor
Anti-monarchist activists have said they were #threatened with arrests when they planned to protest a #royal procession in #Windsor on WednesdayCampaigners said that they were told by #police they faced arrest if they protested near the royal procession, with police citing concerns about the banner and amplified noise.
Officers were also accused of telling protesters they faced arrest if they heckled the monarch.
Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, said: "#Thames Valley Police have today decided that #protests are essentially #banned. #FreeSpeech is conditional on arbitrary decisions by police inspectors, denying people even the right to heckle public figures.

Amazon might not notice that you stopped shopping with them* but if you take that same modest bit of disposable income and spend it on art bought directly from artists, the small electronics projects of your friends, helping people in dire financial situations and the the local theater all of those people WILL notice. It will have a massive impact.

Maybe you think "I can't cut out X just yet" and there are practical reasons that make it hard. That's fine, but keep thinking about it.
You can find a way to wiggle free. It's OK if it takes some time and planning.

The next big one I want gone from my life is YouTube. This one is hard, though. I think the first step would be to at least use the alternatives for those creators I like who bother to offer one.
I don't know how I'll wriggle free from YouTube just yet, but I'm not giving up on it because it's "hard" --
Right now "no YouTube" would mean just not seeing a lot of videos that I want to see.
But, not as many as I think.
๐ค
The best solution I've found there is a combination of RSS feeds and yt-dlp (and making sure it credits the videos as being watched for the creator's metrics). That way I can avoid the "suggested videos" and comments and all that crap.
This is the one I slapped together (and use), and yeah, being deliberate about it DEFINITELY changes the experience.

They notice--thank you, data surveillance.
You know who notices even more minutely? Finance companies we* have credit cards with. So much so that you don't have to boycott entirely--just spend less, and they will get nervous. They are the only ones who benefit from our debt.
*I do not have a credit card, just a debit card, but I don't kid myself that I'm not part of "we"
i've made 45 bilingual (eng/esp) copies of the Riot Medicine Field Guide, a concise companion book to the Hakan Geijer's robust protest medic text. i printed these specifically to distribute to action medics, though the content is informative for anyone and functions as a good hook for anyone interested learning more about street medicine.
if you would like one for yourself or as gift to someone ('tis the season!), please email me the address at <fallrise@riseup.net> and i will send one -- i am happy to cover the ~$4 shipping, but am willing to accept donations. if you have a medic crew and would like some for yourselves or for trainings, i can send you a box.

Spanish police on Monday said they had broken up a cell of "The Base", a transnational neo-Nazi white supremacist group designated a terrorist organization by the European Union, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

I suspect one reason it is so important to the ruling class that people should not sympathize with Palestine is thatโonce people recognize settler-colonialism there & the evils it inflicts, they will be more able to see it everywhere.
I certainly feel that by learning about the occupation of Palestine, I have come to understand more about occupied Turtle Island ("North America") & what has happened (and is STILL happening) here. Once you recognize the patterns you see them everywhere.

I was reminded today that Meta/Facebook's data center project is called Hyperion. Here are some facts about that name that may or may not be of interest.
Hyperion's name comes from two Greek words that together mean "watcher from above" or "he who goes above".
Hyperion was a Titan, the ancient Greek gods that preceded the Olympian gods like Zeus, Athena, etc. Prometheus, Atlas, and the word Titan itself are frequently used to name tech projects. A fun web search is "COMPANY_NAME Titan"; try it. It seems lost on these folks that the Titans were deposed by the Olympian gods and condemned to an eternity in Tartarus, a kind of hell. In other words they're the loser gods, if you want to be simplistic and vulgar about it.
It is believed that one of Hyperion's offspring, Helios, as well as all of Helios's offspring, were imagined as being black-skinned.
My wife, who is a classicist, and I regularly shake our heads about the names of tech projects like this. I always ask her for the dirt on the name, and she always delivers (as in the above, which I credit to her).

I'm a Google Workspace admin, and a team member sent me a screenshot showing that a message they wanted to send was being blocked because it violated an organizational policy-- which was news to me-- I hadn't put in place to block messages based on their content.
Turns out Google Workspace now warns by default when the message content mentions gender identity.
reshared this
@billstatler It's not universally good or bad. The question will be how much it's useful vs confusing for any organization, because the warning doesn't specify what policy was violated, what content violated the policy of what exact rule or patterns were matched to check for a policy violation.
There's also the part of the message that says the issue with our organization's policies, but Google created and enabled these policies without our approval, furthering confusion.
That message does make some more sense if you read it with Google corporate-colored glasses: "your organization" being the container for the account with which you are logged in to Google. It makes rather less sense if you read "your organization" as something like "the people I am working with".
Quite user-hostile in either case.
