#askfedi I remember someone posting awhile back about a #Firefox extension that collected #RSS feeds as you browsed, but I can't seem to find it anymore in the mastodon search or in Firefox's extension search. Anyone know of such an extension?
To follow through on my pledge to do more of my #internet reading on the #indieweb, I've been visiting random blogs using this site and adding any interesting ones to an #RSS feed.
My intention is to browse this feed much the same way I would the news -call it a self-care practice. I want to spend more time in reflection and less in panic. I also want to get ideas for, perhaps, my own blog someday.
Okay, so, podcasts are great but sometimes I prefer to read instead of listen. 🤔
So what if – hear me out – there was a thing like podcasts, but for text! 🤯
It would still be distributed via RSS, you could still follow them and automagically pull them to your device. But instead of audio, there would be text. ✏️
👉 We could call them: textcasts!
And get this: I already have one! It was super easy to set up, actually. You can find it here: https://rys.io/en/feed.rss
The sound is pretty involved, so this week I'm talking about just the glitchy looper part. I will make a part 2 soon, to talk about combining the looper with radio noises.
✍️ New post! I realised after mentioning the title case web page earlier today that I had not written about the other projects on my projects domain, 7bit.org. This post remedies that covering the following:
Dew Point Forecast — 7 day weather forecasts that include the dew point
Everyone keeps talking about bringing back the old web, and honestly maybe I'm missing something, but it never went away. I'm still using it thanks to an RSS reader and a personal website.
Granted, it's way less popular than it was when it was in its hayday, but it's still here. So go use it.
@acarson I self-host #Yarr (yet another rss reader), which is like a minimal #Feedly and I have perhaps 3 dozen feeds I follow. Between that and Mastodon I get my #news, my trending etc.
Down with paywalls and subscribe to our mailing list and mashing subcribe button bullshit! Bring back the #RSS
@itsfoss
I've been using it for a while and it's pretty awesome. The one feature that I really miss though is being able to 🔍 search for specific articles and texts. That's a deal breaker for me so stick with 🍮 Handy News Reader.
"I'll bet [Google] Reader looked bad on the balance sheet but the follow-on benefits of knowing who was reading and liking what posts and which blogs were influential were incalculable."
Cuando veo que los pódcast solo están disponibles en una plataforma, o cuando se nombran solo dos o tres, me da muchísima rabia.
El podcasting era el medio del contenido abierto. Del feed RSS. De elegir el reproductor con el que te sintieras más cómodo.
Ahora cuesta trabajo encontrar el feed RSS para suscribirte fuera de Apple Podcast o Spotify, si es que existe ese feed RSS.
Así que, por favor, podcasters de mi corazón: HACED VISIBLE EL FEED. Y bien grandote.
@gabriel Interestingly #PaleMoon ignores the styling and description of the #RSS feed, because it is a RSS reader (it never removed that functionality from #Firefox) and has its own styling for feeds. It's not necessarily a bad thing though! If you're using a reader then you probably don't need the styling anyway :sagume_think:
I've always wanted an RSS feed of only the interesting stories, blog posts, and longreads that make it to the Hacker News front page. Thus, I am happy to announce that I've just made and released one: https://feedle.world/hacker-news
Chyba jestem na takim etapie, że dalsze odwlekanie powrotu do czytnika RSS to robienie samej sobie krzywdy...Polecicie/odradzicie jakiś sensowny na Mac OS (jakby dodatkowo nadawał się też na czytnik ebooków bazujący na androidzie, to jeszcze lepiej)? Szukam czegoś, co z jednej strony nie będzie przeładowane, ale z drugiej będzie dość funkcjonalne (możliwość tworzenia kategorii, bezproblemowego kopiowania linków czy tekstu, zasysania treści a nie tylko tytułów itp.). Polecicie coś?
Scratching my head at an Emacs issue: Elfeed-org doesn’t seem to load my feeds. I’m not sure why, everything looks OK. I have my feeds.org and I have the path defined in rmh-elfeed-org-files and it does show the value it’s supposed to have.
