They're loved by crop farmers where I live too (I also learnt recently), but they're illegal to cultivate because they're an introduced species.

(Now that I write that, I assume honeybees are too, but perhaps the honey industry is well entrenched)

Unlike the crops?


I recently started actively bookmarking pages again recently (after being an early Pinboard customer, but not a particularly busy one). I wrote a script to email me 5 random bookmarks every day, so now I treat bookmarking as a "like" button; something I find interesting at the time, and may want to rediscover in the future. I rarely use bookmarks to find something I'm searching for though.


You can use tree-sitter already if you have dynamic module support: https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter


I recently created a daily "random 5 bookmarks" email using GitHub actions and Pinboard's API. I love it; it's a serendipitous reminder of things I once thought were interesting, and now I bookmark things with abandon just so they may show up again. I rarely use bookmarks to find something again because search is still low-friction, but that assumes I know what I'm looking for.


This is really a good idea, a new way to consume rotten bookmarks.


All this time I thought it was a John Cale song! (Granted I'd never checked)

Edit: Huh, he did produce it, played on the original recording, and then released his cover before the original: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso_(song)


I came looking to see if anyone had posted this. The thing that got to me about that episode was the complete lack of empathy (mild spoiler, I suppose) shown at the end, which is probably also more than evident in the OP's tragic conclusion.


I haven't watched any myself yet, but there's a thread on r/emacs on just that question: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/k77k6a/what_are_your...

Switched and started paying when Reader shut down, haven't regretted it.


Same here.

I use the pay version because I have so many feeds but I suspect that's more a sign that I have a problem.

The 64 free sites should be enough.


I always end up using https://jwt.ms/ because it's much more lightweight.


Absolutely, and it really doesn't cost much to ensure they keep doing it.

I've been subscribed ever since they offered them. A few years ago while starting up a business I realised that I hardly ever found or made the time to read them, and reluctantly let it slip. Jonathan emailed me personally to say thanks for being there from day one, and if I had any feedback. I explained, he said thanks anyway and then renewed my subscription! I've automatically renewed every year since then.
