Benefits of RSS? Where should I look for trustworthy feeds?

Jump

  • Yeah, but this has been 15 years in the making... So many people say that they 'don't use Facebook, it's just where I get my news...'. Which is how we got into this mess in the first place.

    • Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy.

  • Came here to say "No shit, what else is new" but you're absolutely right, this is for people who don't follow tech news.

    • What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?

  • I feel both of these. I'm 40 and yeah, sleeping slightly weirdly I get shoulder pain the next day. Working out regularly has definitely helped things. Also for alcohol, I have to be careful to also include non-alcoholic drinks in an evening, say a non-alcoholic beer or something before the real thing.

  • I'd say CPU doesn't matter in terms of compatibility, but that AMD does have the edge at the moment on Intel in terms of performance, energy use, etc. Especially considering Intel's problems with their 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs.

  • To add to this, I think in general AMD offers a bit better bang-for-buck at the moment, at least in the low and mid-tiers.

  • I'd add that Social Media kind of took over this role for most regular users, but that having your own RSS feed gives you control of what you follow, instead of ceceeding control to the algorithms most social media uses to put whatever it is they want to put in front of you. So in that aspect, I do think there are also some privacy advantages in not having a central algorithm studying up what news stories and links work for you and how they can manipulate you.

    • If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all?

  • Well put, and I think it's definitely meaningful.

  • I'd agree the sentiment that you're partners, not room mates, though even partners split (or share) things like costs, housework, etc. I'd suggest something like you pay your mortgage and both of you split utilities... or maybe you pay mortgage and she pays utilities, whatever seems fair to both of you. But I wouldn't have her pay me money directly, IDK why but it feels a bit off.

    • Whats the most rewatchable TV series of all time?

  • I really should get around to re-watching Futurama. I often say Professor Farnsworth's 'Good news, everyone!' to myself :-)
