I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it's not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.

How much do you need to drink to get ALD at 36?

Tomorrow, when school finally starts again and all kids leave the house in the morning.

I remember the time when YAML meant Yet Another Markup Language.

To paraphrase: There are two kinds of markup languages. Those that people complain about and those that nobody uses.

There is no silver bullet that will work perfectly for all use cases and we also don't want to use 100 different tools. So people use things that aren't perfect. But they're good enough. I don't think YAML is perfect and I still use it, because people know it and there are tons of tools already available.

Oops, I did it again

That copyright can be inherited is one of the atrocious fuckups we let happen.

Thanks, I'll take a look. These days Inoreader also shows only the summary, making it useless for me.

Haha. If you just want to speak English, I think it is easier. But writing or reading aloud correct English, with all the bizarre nonsense its Germanic and Normannic history forced into it? It's a fucking nightmare.

Just an example: https://www.learnenglish.de/pronunciation/pronunciationpoem.html

And there are many, many more.

I know that. But RSS is like 95% used for news feeds and that's what I'm talking about. The way RSS is overwhelmingly used is making the whole thing useless (to me).

That would be nice. I have implemented this in the past but never once encountered an API that used it.

For RSS I honestly don't see a point, at least for me. What's the use for having update feeds in a unified format when I still have to go to each fucking site to view the full text? I completely see the point of RSS when all I need is in the feed. But I hate going from different UI to different UI to get the full content. I want something like inoreader.com for self-hosting.

I wish I would understand why people always have to take everything to the extreme. If you get mad about carnivorous pets not being able to follow your personal diet, you're an extremist asshole who just chose veganism as your religion. You can be vegan without being an extremist asshole, so it must be something else causing this.

I've seen that movie!

It supports downloading playlists on some websites and also supports reading a file with URLs.

The only game ever I played through four times.

I hate that this fucker is becoming some hero who is wrongly prosecuted. Sure, the copyright infringement charges are utter bullshit. But the guy himself is a complete asshole and has been all his adult life. He sold out his buddies to the police, worked for an infamous lawyer sending out copyright infringement notices (!) and has been sentenced for fraud multiple times. He's a cunt and I hope he rots in prison.

Bullshit. I've known of him for many years now, ever since he sold out his buddies to the police and worked for an infamous lawyer who sent out copyright infringement notes (!). He's an asshole, always has been.

Absolutely. I have hated this fucking guy when he was still in Germany. He has been a criminal for all of his adult life. Fuck him.
