Yes I know, I literally do it myself with a Python script right now for 3 sites. I just wish someone would generously provide a hosted and maintained service that does this. IMO it could be a game changer. For some people a single source that lacks a feed is a deal breaker for RSS.

If it, or some other service, could find a way to publish feeds of content for sites which don't have RSS feeds, now that would be really useful.

Several years ago I came to the conclusion that, for the kind of device models that I personally use (i.e. cheap ones), rooting has now become too complicated and dangerous (if not impossible) and that it's better simply to move my computing back to the desktop while waiting for a more open and free mobile platform to emerge.

And your point is... what?

La croyance comme quoi les groupes historiquement marginalisés sont en quelque sorte sacrés. J'ai vu cette définition récemment d'une source plus ou moins neutre. Pour moi ça évoque la tendance à voir la société à travers le prisme des luttes de pouvoir entre des groupes. Les concepts clés en étant pouvoir et groupe (l'individu n'est plus de mise). Bien trop facile de dire que puisque la définition est difficile à saisir, la chose n'existe pas. Ça existe bel et bien, ces idées sont même majoritaires parmi les plus jeunes.

Well that puts the loss of my little VPS into perspective.

Sure, I get that. The simpler remedy here would just be to ban ultra-niche support questions. Look at the title of this community then look at the title of this topic and ask yourself: were you interested in it? I wasn't.

And terrible, archaic, chaotic practices such as activating your 2FA without permission and then locking you out of your account for weeks pending multiple signed paper letters. Oh, and sometimes their datacenters burn down and take your server with them. I'm sad to have to throw them under the bus like this. I want OVH to succeed but personally my patience with them definitively ran out.

What would happen if everybody decided to do that? Personally I think there are places which we should be content to admire from a distance.

Insane is a big word. There's a separate one on the R-site so why not here? Then people who want to participate in Stack Exchange-style Q&A can subscribe to that and those who just want to discuss Linux as a subject won't have to bat away spam about the exact syntax to some obscure video-editing utility.

There's a lot of hate and anger here directed against the driver, who was of course himself full of hate and anger. He should rot in hell etc etc, it's all very American. None of that will solve anything. This is about systems. Paris is too dense for cars, let alone SUVs, but humans like their cars and will buy them and use them if we don't decide collectively to prevent it. The tragedy here was not that one entitled guy blew a gasket and did something he surely regretted instantly, it's that we all, together, allowed this situation to occur. A rush-hour boulevard crammed with too-big cars, in a city which is already as dense as a hothouse, in a country with increasingly angry and polarized politics. The problem is not individuals, it's systems.

I'm sorry if if this is too sophisticated an argument for this community, but I speak with direct experience of the subject at hand and I would like to see the problem actually solved. Anger directed at this individual miscreant is IMO an almost irrelevant distraction that will not solve anything.
