@antonyjohnston@mastodon.social I'm safe. I showed my writing style to an LLM and it had an aneurysm. An example, the opening sentence of an editorial I am writing. New Hampshire’s unique geography and its lack of usable intermunicipal public transit produce a mutually reinforcing relationship between economically constrained geographic mobility and geographically constrained economic mobility.

@corvus_ch@social.corvus-ch.name @pluralistic@mamot.fr Just to be clear, I have a lot of respect for Wallabag and KOReader, and I appreciate what they do for the community. I also have a lot of respect for the people who actually find ways to make it work. My project is not for those people. My project is for people who don't want to have to care about the tech, probably don't care about open source in the first place, and just want a way to get news items on what they already have.

@corvus_ch@social.corvus-ch.name @pluralistic@mamot.fr Doesn't matter. This service is not for people who use Wallabag and KOReader. This service is for people who want to be able to use RSS with the defaults out of the box. This whole bridge is intended for Read Later services that do *not* have RSS, and provide that service for them.

@everylibrary and both would be illegal if they were invented today, so we must work hard to protect both to the fullest extent of our abilities and resources.

@corvus_ch@social.corvus-ch.name The "features" you mentioned are all reasons why I rejected Wallabag and KOReader in the first place. My goal is to read as a hobby, not do SRE at home as a hobby. @pluralistic@mamot.fr

@corvus_ch@social.corvus-ch.name You are making a lot of assumptions. I am not building for the ideological pure one percent, I am building for the realistic needs of the average person. This is for those who lack the financial, temporal, or spoon resources to self host. It is designed to reduce friction and eliminate waste, as well as lower the barrier of entry as far as possible @pluralistic@mamot.fr

@pluralistic@mamot.fr https://github.com/ClariNerd617/rss-to-instapaper-action/ the code can be found here, pull requests are welcome as long as they respect the vision in my comments, are consistent with my coding style, and do not use AI in any way shape or form. My engineering goals include Radical Minimalism, Empathy for Users, Empathy for Maintainers, and an Adlerian Separation of Tasks.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr You may find my current project interesting. I'm building a small and fast bridge between RSS and Instapaper (and therefore Kobo ereaders) that is intended for people who just want to read in peace, and is engineered from the ground up to always be free.

@jkb @osm_tech brb repeatedly slamming my forehead against my desk for the next five minutes. Then I will reread that and hopefully it will seem less dystopian.

@osm_tech and we can tell the scrapers are AI built because a cursory glance at the documentation on the "coders" part would've prevented this problem.
