@JohnBrady It’s not a coincidence, it’s a business model. Most likely that is a result of Google (assuming that is what was used for search) providing a signal to their ad network and Facebook that a search for Delta faucets occurred near your location. They would receive the geo location and IP address, probably search for IP addresses tied to the geo location and pump ads for the item to it. This happens to me all the time when we use Google, the only way I have found to avoid it is to use SearXNG: github.com/searxng/s…

I am reading through articles about announcements from Google I/O 2026, and I think this change Google is planning to make to Tiles in Wear OS 7 has to be one of the most idiotic design decisions I have seen.

Tiles are also getting a redesign. Google will roll out widgets with Wear OS 7 to replace full-screen tiles. A 2×1 or 2×2 block will display app information in a style that more closely resembles Android 16’s widgets. It doesn’t appear that the new design will allow users to stack...

I put my Pixel 10 on a Belkin MagSafe wireless charger. Today it dawned on me that it would be cool if when the phone is on the charger that if a phone call comes in the phone would automatically operate in speaker phone mode so I could just tap a button to receive the call and talk.

Om Malik has written a very compelling post about what he calls the Internet of AI. Part of the post is an explanation about what AI actual means from an overall technology perspective. Here is a valuable summary:

The right historical analogy for what is happening with AI is not Web 2.0 or the cloud. It is the railroads of the nineteenth century. Railroad operators understood the freight cars were not where value lived. The value was in owning the rails and everything around them, including the land. Owning the rails meant controlling routes, latency, geography, redundancy, and the cost structure of...

@AndySylvester Remember, the models are constrained by their training. It may be trained to act like an Internet search but not trained on all of the nuances of the architecture of the Internet. In regards to RSS, while the file format is standard and thus known, how web sites provide access to RSS feeds was never standardized and that has been the fundamental constraint upon RSS. (Dave calls this discovery.) You might have to tell the model how to look for RSS feeds and how to test them to make sure they are useful.

@heyloura One more suggestion. Is it possible for you to add keyboard shortcuts to the next and previous buttons at the bottom?

@JohnPhilpin As a fellow person who uses Feedland, John, I think you touched on the important point. Feedland is as much about building and managing RSS subscriptions. For me a simple thing as knowing the last date something was added to a feed is useful. I actual prefer Dave’s earlier RSS aggregator, River5, because it is a simple reverse chronological presentation of the latest feed updates. It works for me because I only use RSS aggregators to triage and find items to read, I do my reading in Readwise Reader.

@robertbreen The best workflow is one that works for you. Just as fyi, when I select text in an article in Readwise Reader a pop up appears for me to click the highlight button. I can also highlight the current paragraph by pressing H. Highlights are stored by Readwise and I have an Obsidian Plugin that syncs those highlight for each note into my vault.

@aldenmorris.bsky.social Cool. I am curious, what is the data source for the app. I am trying to imagine how an establishment would report such data in approximate real time.

@help @manton Bookshelves does not seem to be working, I am trying to add a book to Currently Reading. First I search for the book (The Return Of The Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen) and click one of the search results, I click Currently Reading. I returns to the page but the book is not added.

@manton As Anton said, I have found it can take several minutes even for the item to appear in Posts on micro.blog, let alone publish. On a few occasions I have assumed that the ping was not received and therefore manually copy/pasted the post and then came back to find a duplicate. It acts as though the pings are queuing up to be processed later. My microblog posting script really has one line:
\nhttp.readUrl(“micro.blog/ping” + opml.getHeaders().urlPublic)

@dave In my experience there is a bit of a lag when posting from Drummer to micro.blog. I don’t know whether that is because of the server my blog is on or something happening in general. @manton
