What is your issue with OnShape that prompted you to undertake this project? Is it because it's not open source?

I don't disagree with the sentiment as I love RSS, but doesn't it have a different use case than ActivityPub or ATProto?

I had a similar issue where I wanted to read a newly-followed blog from the beginning instead of the point in time when I started to follow, so I created https://refeed.to/

It depends on how you want to use your notes. If you're looking for a way to store information for later retrieval then what you described will probably work great. Zettelkasten is more about discovering connections between ideas that were not immediately obvious, and creating and discovering new ideas as you work with your notes.

If you allowed me to import an OPML file to get a sense for how this would work for my feed I'd check it out, but requiring a login before I can do anything real is kind of a non-starter.

You seem to be lumping conservatives and libertarians into the same group, but I think that's a mistake. I agree with your description as it pertains to libertarians, but conservatives tend to recognize as Christians who recognize certain deficiencies of humans and look to a higher power as a source of rule and law.

I think a lot of this comes down to feelings if insecurity and fear. It's much easier to vote for values over greed when you feel you have all of your needs met. But I think globalization expanded and highlighted the wealth disparity throughout the world, and seeing people that have vastly more than you can make you feel vulnerable. The vulnerability slides into fear and anger, and then you're more willing to vote for the strongman with questionable morals who's promising to do something to allay your fears, even if it's at the cost of the democracy.

I'm assuming it's because both are presumed to have used steroids, which is the reason that neither are in the hall of fame.

I've found compassion, and especially self- compassion in such cases, to be a particularly useful thing to work towards and develop that is not tied to religion,

I'm also not a fan of email newsletters, and the reading interface of scrollz looks nice, but I'm not understanding how scrollz actually fit into the reading workflow. How do the newsletters in my inbox get opened for reading in scrollz?

New comment by jayemar in "NASA's Psyche spacecraft hits a speed bump on the way to a metal asteroid"

jayemar — Thu, 01 May 2025 15:48:17 +0000

Interesting read. The main paragraph regarding mission success is probably this:

> So far, there's no effect on the Psyche spacecraft's trajectory. Psyche's plasma thrusters can remain unpowered until at least mid-June before the spacecraft would begin to drift off course, according to NASA. Mission managers decided to keep Psyche's engines turned off until they better understand the pressure decrease. If engineers trace the problem to the fuel line itself, NASA has the option of switching to a backup fuel line to resume thrusting.

Can you expand on what you mean with this comment? Even if it's joke, I don't understand what's being implied.
