So far I've just re-applied the patches (sometimes to a different file if the file moved), and changed a few deprecated calls to their newer equivalents. Nothing too bad so far, dot dot dot.

Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication.
What the hell? If the public were capable of "rating the core truth of any article," fake news would never have been a thing in the first place. Go home, Musk, no-one wants to realize your out-of-touch man-child fantasies.
This is the man who said in an earnings meeting, "Boring, bonehead questions are not cool. … These questions are so dry. They're killing me." You sould like a bored 13-year-old in a history double period. I trust you with the future less than I trust the soggy capsicum in my vegetable crisper (not a double entendre, an actual soggy capsicum).
Did anyone even try to replace it? They just wanted to lure people into their own spiderwebs, and it was touch-and-go for a while. I honestly thought RSS was circling the drain, but I'm delighted to have been proven wrong. I never really used it back in the Before Times, but it's really coming into its own now that people want to follow so many diverse update streams.

St John's Evil TwinThere's been an on-going call to revive RSS over the past year or so, and I feel like I've seen half a dozen articles and posts just in the last week. It's a fantastic idea. Without it I can't follow particular people on Instagram, Twitter, and other sites where I don't have accounts. Those sites just want to lock their users in — it's anti-human empire-building, so screw 'em.
Pro tip: I found a self-hosted thing called https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge, which lets you create RSS feeds for sites that don't provide one. I'm trying it out and loving it. AFAIK Mastodon isn't quite there yet, but Friendica lets you follow RSS feeds and now my friends' posts on Instagram are just a normal part of my timeline.
These public scooters are still littering the pavement wherever you go in #SanFrancisco. I'm so glad they put up one flyer in the middle of nowhere — that should do the trick.
Lookit all the buttons on this thing! I've never seen a camera like it. They were apparently sold to housewives in the 60s by a corporation who thought women were too dumb to use normal cameras.
Hah, thanks, I'm glad someone got a kick out of it. It's been literally 15 years since I compiled my own Linux kernels so the whole thing was quite an odyssey, but it's been a lot of fun too.
