Full text RSS feed - The build minutes for this month finally reset so I can build and deploy again. One of the features I've been waiting to test was full text RSS feeds. Previously the blog feed only contained the description of each item and you had to click through to the website to read the full article.
It's working for the blog, and when I tested it earlier in Feedly each item contained the full text of the article, so no need to click through anymore. Code blocks appear to be correctly formatted, though without the syntax highlighting. Glad they are at least legible. That was the reason I didn't do full text earlier, I didn't think the code blocks would display at all.
I might start writing more blog posts now and do less notes, because I don't need to write descriptions anymore. I guess we'll see over the next few weeks if and how it affects my writing. #

Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle Is a Big Lie - People aren’t always very honest with trade-offs. I’ve pointed that out recently about bitcoiners and self-custody, it appears some aspects of ecologically minded lifestyles could do with being re-considered too. wired.co.uk #
The Guardian view on the AI conundrum: what it means to be human is elusive - Ultimately its not the technology that is dangerous, it's the people directing the technology. Short and somewhat mediocre article about that. theguardian.com #
Why 2024 will be the year of ‘curated chaos’ - I don't want to take all the credit for this trend, but I think it's fair to say I have been doing currated chaos for #147 issues now. I don't look into the fashion world all that often, but I found this an interesting read. There's something about how the fashion looks at the world that reminds me of how crypto views the world. theguardian.com #
The Internet Is About to Get Weird Again - I had just emerged from a pretty serious crypto black pill session when I got down to reading this. Very refreshing. The year 2000 and the years that followed were indeed a lot of fun. Let's do that again. rollingstone.com #
How AI-created fakes are taking business from online influencers - The big worry currently is AIs that pretend to be real humans. I wonder if we will look back and realise how quaint this worry was. Perhaps the real threat will be when people actively find AIs cooler than boring humans. ft.com #
Happy new year! New Zealand welcomes in 2024 - Wow fireworks! Colors! Not long now, 2024 on the way :) bbc.com #
