the ten-year old just came to me for help navigating a cookie consent pop-up with a sneaky "legitimate interest" section. he couldn't figure out how to leave its purgatory with everything rejected. what a weird world he's growing up in.
bluesky offers RSS feeds, but it doesn't attach linked media to those feeds or include quote-embedded posts, and norms there seem very quote-commenty.
so i nearly always have to clickthrough rather than read in-reader. which renders it basically too cumbersome to really follow blueskyers by RSS.
which is a shame because there's a lot of conversation there i'd like to follow. i'll still sample a bit, but it's very frustrating.
(mastodon RSS feeds helpfully include linked media!)

it’s just that he believes in Roko’s basilisk, so it’s all under duress. https://assortedflotsam.com/@politicsbot/112481170154731053
