Kinda disappointed that it seems RSS or Atom feeds are no longer a thing, quite few sites have stopped providing feed, I have quite extensive feeds collection,ranging from personal blogs, news sites, and even some of the big tech companies, many of which talk about tech, finance amongst other things, I look upon few sites, for instance:

• Airbnb Engineering Blog
• Uber Engineering Blog
• Google Developer Blog
• Shopify Engineering

Above sites did not provide RSS feed, it’s easier to read on the RSS reader rather than opening up the site, it’s also easier to subscribe to the RSS feed, and get notified when there’s a new post.

Not every site put a link tag to provide a feed <link />, like this <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="" href="" />, so RSS reader could find the appropriate feed URI, and subscribe to it, some site did not provide this tag, so I have to open the source and look for the feed link (it can be rss, atom or json feed format).

Not sure whether sites abandoning RSS feed or simply they wanted people to visit the site to read the post in the browsers, might be because they can’t measure the engagement of the post, it’s quite hard to put some kinda analytics on RSS feed, even though there’s service like Feedburner who can do that, but it’s another hassle for someone or company to configure, it’s easier to install analytics on the website obviously.

Anyway, you can subscribe to my RSS feed, here.

Welp, this is great in so many levels, and i see what Seth done there.

Toddlers (which includes defensive bureaucrats, bullies, flat earthers, folks committed to a specific agenda and radio talk show hosts) may indicate that they’d like to have an argument, but they’re actually engaging in connection, noise, play acting or a chance to earn status. It can be fun to be in opposition, to harangue or even to use power to change someone’s position.

Just replace it with my own country.

Notion keeps getting better, and this time they release a new product, Notion Mail, not long before they released a Calendar app, not so much different with usual Calendar app, but in can integrated well with Notion, and also can be used as a standalone app.

With Notion Mail, surely it can intergrate well with Notion, currently only support Gmail, in the future, maybe it can support other email provider.

It’s a rather alarming article, at least for me who are always relied on technology, or in this case an AI, for knowledge search, learn something, or even making a decision about what to do next.

This paragraph tells the story.

These are examples of a broader phenomenon that psychologists call cognitive offloading — when we outsource the burden of performing mental tasks to external tools, like an AI model. Cognitive offloading can be helpful, disencumbering our brains of having to perform tedious work so we can focus on more fulfilling pursuits, or harder brain tasks that deserve more attention. But you can get too much of a good thing.

As we relied heavily on AI, some people call it “second brain” or “third brain”, but what happen is, we make our brain lazy, we don’t need to remember anything, we just need to ask the AI.

Hell, even this editor, i plugged in an AI agent for codes and stuff, and it’s still gave me a suggestion on how to write this article, see image below.

How easy was that? if i keep doing this, i’ll be a lazy man, i won’t use my brain how to tailor a sentence, or how to write a paragraph, or even how to write a sentence.

Just need a bit mindful and keep use our brain as long as we can.

Sudah beberapa tahun kayaknya saya gak menggunakan Firefox, karena beberapa alasan, salah satunya memory management, terkadang FF bisa lebih jelek, memory consumption dan juga memory hogging masih sering terjadi ketika saya menggunakannya, misalkan meski tidak aktif di website tersebut beberapa lama, tapi masih mengkonsumsi RAM.

Sampai saya kenal dengan Zen Browser, browser yang menggunakan basis kode Firefox (Gecko), dan juga mengubah tampilan dan desain browsernya, dan untuk memory management, mungkin benar di-manage dengan baik, atau sama saja, saya tidak begitu detil memperhatikan, tapi terasa beda dengan Firefox, terasa lebih gegas, mungkin bisa dicoba sendiri ya.

Ada beberapa fitur tambahan yang tidak ada di Firefox, tapi karena saya sudah tidak menggunakan Firefox, jadinya tidak bisa membandingkan secara berdampingan, tapi bisa dicoba dilihat di websitenya.

Mungkin saya agak sedikit de javu dengan Zen Browser ini, karena mengingatkan pada desain yang digunakan oleh browser Arc, yang mana Arc ini menggunakan Chromium sebagai basis kodenya.

Zen browser ini kompatibel dengan Firefox, baik extension atau add-on, dan juga bisa di-import dari Firefox, dan juga bisa konek ke Firefox Sync, jadi bisa di-sync dengan Firefox (desktop atau mobile).
