I asked ChatGPT for a list of FeedLand features that are new or distinctive. “FeedLand combines RSS, OPML, public curation, subscribable reading lists, rivers, categories, and realtime WebSocket updates in a way that is unusual among feed readers and points toward a web-native social network.” #
Alexa has a terrible habit, when I ask for a song from the Echo on my desktop, it ends each song with a helpful message. There’s a live version of this song, do you want to hear it. You have a message waiting, can I play it for you. I can’t get it to stop. I have a bunch of them scattered around the house, and this is the only one that does it. I’m writing here, I asked for a song that fit in with my writing. Stop making me thinkg about your marketing messages. Where did you get the idea you can do this. A paying customer. #

I have a Mac laptop that I keep updated with the latest versions of Mac OS. I got a warning today saying that Electric Drummer won’t run on the next release of the OS. Now I don’t use it very much if at all on that machine, but I wonder. ED is an Electron app, otherwise it’s wholly JavaScript. It does include some Node packages of course, but not that many IIRC. This was a thing I wasn’t expecting. #
