Is it good or bad that human communication is so ambiguous? Human communication is complicated. How about if human communication works via a well-defined interface (like a programming interface) and the communication recipient always understands messages exactly as the communication sender intended?

And I use the word RSS representatively for RSS, Atom and JSON Feed.

Most of my blog posts don’t have any images for a couple of reasons:

Self-hosting my blog and the related services not only gives me the independence from third-party-services, it also gives me the option to customize things to my liking. In my opinion, this is even more important.
