A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already. (voidfiles.github.io)

I was able to write a quick hacky one liner to parse the source and paste the rssUrl into my reader. It didn't take as long as I was expecting to get the 30-40 channels into my rss reader. I think my previous issue was the rss reader I was using didn't like something about the format. RSS Guard didn't have an issue with it. Thanks.

Edit: I can't believe I didn't do this earlier. newsboat has Vim keybindings and the interface reminds me a lot of mutt. Clear videos through mpv with zero ads. I'm in heaven right now. I haven't looked at RSS in at least a decade.
