Huh. I'm trying to work with Mastodon and Bluesky RSS in a php twig based plugin (Grav Twigfeeds). Mastodon feeds work fine, first few words parse as title, each post URL links to the post. Bluesky doesn't work *at all*. If I shove thru FetchRss it sort of works but post URLs only link to the account. RSS.app converts much better but is a paid service.

I think it's to do with no declared XML header, maybe.

#rss #xml #php #twig #grav

Nb in raw php BS feeds do work.

No, probably never. Because #JSON is a primitive data interchange format, XML offers more versatility and reliability.
I like this sentence from the article "XML may not be trendy, but it remains the backbone of system-to-system interoperability" and I fully agree. It is used far more often than other formats, but many people simply don't know the facts. Often young programmers dislike #XML because it's an old format, but that's a silly reason 😬

Ah yes, because who wouldn’t want to spend a week in #Oxford learning about XML? 🤓📜 The thrill of schemas, the excitement of daily timetables, and the intellectual bliss of cookies! 🙄 Only the #geeks could make #summer #school a thing to celebrate—25 years of excitement nobody asked for. 🎉

🚀 Behold the triumphant resurrection of XSLT! While the world basks in the JSON era, XML's ghost emerges to haunt the unsuspecting enterprise nerds who dare venture into the depths of technological obscurity. 😂 Because nothing screams 'future' quite like technology from the '90s!

🌖 介紹 XMLUI – Jon Udell
➤ 重新定義網頁開發的簡潔之道
blog.jonudell.net/2025/07/18/i
本文介紹了 XMLUI,一個旨在讓非專業程式設計師也能輕鬆開發現代網頁應用程式的新工具。XMLUI 結合了 Visual Basic 的易用性和 React 的強大功能,透過 XML 標記來組合元件,無需深入瞭解 React 或 CSS。作者展示了使用 XMLUI 建立應用程式的範例,例如查詢倫敦地鐵線路狀態,並強調了其可讀性、可維護性以及與大型語言模型 (LLM) 的協同作業能力。文章也探討了 XMLUI 的反應式資料綁定和主題系統,認為它為網頁開發提供了一種更簡潔、更高效的替代方案。
+ 這個 XMLUI 看起來很有趣,對於沒有前端經驗的人來說,應該可以快速上手,做出一些實用的應用程式。
+ 我一直覺得 React 學習曲線太陡峭了,這個工具或許能解決這個問題,讓更多人參與到網頁開發中來。

jdebp.info/FGA/launchd-on-bsd.

It went dormant some time in 2015, to my knowledge. I had genuinely been joking about an #XML parser in process 1 until someone went and did that.

With a shell, of course, it's the same sort of thing, with a full language parser, an interactive user interface, curses, terminfo/termcap, an editing library, command completion add-ins, and so forth, in the program for process 1.

Almost all proper process 1 programs do far less.

Introducing <PubNote>: open-source XML tools for biomedical research metadata for OLSPub and PubMed

Today I'm announcing version 1.0.0 of <PubNote>, a suite of open-source XML tools for biomedical research metadata exposition to support publishers and researchers using XML files with OLSPub from @ZBMED and the US-based PubMed.
