@RL_Dane I made an extension a while ago that does exactly that - it puts the feed icon back in the URL bar.

Plus, it renders application/rss+xml, application/atom+xml and friends in a readable way when you open a feed URL in your browser - there was a time when browsers used to handle these content types, nowadays they just return the raw XML.

It’d be interesting if the folks at @mozilla have more insights on why they decided to drop the feed icon indicator in the URL bar as well as the support for rendering feed mimetypes - and why the timing of these decisions approximately matched the timing when Chrome dropped their support for those features.

@Pawlicker They are bullying him to bloat his software with per-user configuration and service bots. Minimalism is key for a system like this, but they don't understand that.

@gorplop @Pawlicker @i @mint @foxxy @arcanicanis I feel like a lot of posts on here will eventually be lost, if not already. Servers don't have posts that were made before they went online. Given that most instances are run by individuals, I doubt they will be around many years from now, and the ones that still are might have to purge ancient posts (especially federated posts from defunct instances) in order to save disk space, if they keep growing.

@gorplop @Pawlicker @i @mint @foxxy @arcanicanis That's not entirely true. That assumes that at least one person/server has a backup or screenshot of whatever you post. It's why there is an internet media section of the Lost Media Wiki.

But yes, people should think before they post.

@coolboymew I did the secret path, but not the boss. I don't have the patience.

@coolboymew I haven't played it in a while and I never got the best ending. I probably should in celebration of it's 20th anniversary this year.

@sjw All countries are terrorists (they have a monopoly on violence and don't hesitate to use it) and you could consider all politicians to be dissidents.
