After a 10-year hiatus, I’m back to using RSS to follow news and blogs. It feels so calm and decluttered
But the fear of missing out is real! What blogs would you recommend for someone interested in
I would be grateful if you boosted this to help me discover more blogs!
Wow great blog, thanks for sharing! Their posts really resonate with me
@tadzik their website looks like an overwhelming mess, but their feed looks great. Subscribed! Thanks for sharing!
Yup that indeed was a very good suggestion, thanks again @tadzik
@thibaultamartin I don't always agree w/ him (specifically when it comes to PL design), but maybe that's all the more reason to follow Drew DeVault's blog. Lately has been more about politics in and around open source anyways, hence should fit your list: https://drewdevault.com/
@thibaultamartin which rss client app you use?
@ujeenator currently using Inoreader both as a service and as an app. It’s fine-ish, but I’ll likely move on to a more native app after taking the time to evaluate alternatives.
I used to love Reeder back in the days, but Reeder 5 “classic” doesn’t work for me.
@thibaultamartin @ujeenator shoutout for Aggregator on Android, which is completely local and just works
@thibaultamartin Maybe some of the publications I follow would interest you: https://axel.leroy.sh/feeds#technology
@axeleroy thanks for the list, I’ll definitely add a few to mine!
@thibaultamartin May I recommend my partner @Ambersinha’s newsletter Homo Digitalis https://www.ambersinha.com/homo-digitalis?
@matratype @Ambersinha interesting reads there
@thibaultamartin With what tool do you follow RSS?
@beaufils at the moment Inoreader (both the service and the app) but I’m thinking of migrating to miniflux + Lire and maybe newsboat
@linc solid recommendations here, thanks a bunch
@linc @thibaultamartin thanks for the recommendation - https://blog.jonudell.net/, https://chelseatroy.com/, and https://exple.tive.org/blarg/ are three of my favorites.
@thibaultamartin alors @404mediaco (ils ont un flux RSS avec lien pour les abo)
et sinon, juste pour partage https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/113831125078268131, peut être que ça donnera d'autres pistes :)
@thibaultamartin Maybe Cory Doctorow's Blog?
https://pluralistic.net/
I haven't checked its RSS and don't know how well it works, but given the rest of the website, I expect it to be good.
@thibaultamartin Same actually. Not sure if these quite fit the bill but I am following:
https://www.citationneeded.news/rss/ - mostly crypto-critical news but some other general tech/news stuff @molly0xfff
https://pluralistic.net/feed/ - general reporting about capitalism, tech, etc. @pluralistic
https://fediversereport.com/feed/ - news about fedi and ATmosphere @fediversereport
https://dustycloud.org/blog/index.xml - @cwebber 's technical blog, she often writes about distributed systems, etc.
Thanks @Eliot_L!
Very good recommendations here
@thibaultamartin not so much known but it works also with YouTube Chanel https://danielmiessler.com/blog/rss-feed-youtube-channel
@thibaultamartin Not sure it fits those categories but some that I like (I.e.always read) and haven’t seen mentioned:
* https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/
* https://jacobian.org/
* https://nedbatchelder.com/
* https://randsinrepose.com/
* https://daringfireball.net/
lwn.net and techdirt both have RSS feeds too.
@clokep yup yup some good links here! Some might be too pythonic for me, but definitely new subscriptions in this lot
@thibaultamartin https://mnt.io ;-)
See the blogroll at the bottom too.
@hywan probably a tad too technical for my RSS feed but I love the idea of a blog roll
@thibaultamartin Old Web. Loved it.
@thibaultamartin me too! I've been using Miniflux... It was a little sad to see which of my old feeds have died off and become spammy landing pages, or find teams/companies that have split up... But it's definitely better than scrolling socials
@thibaultamartin @hywan what do you use as a reader?
@thibaultamartin Les Cerises de Hiatus sont une excellente collection de bonnes nouvelles (presque chaque semaine) : https://lescerisesdehiatus.blogspot.com/
@thibaultamartin @molly0xfff is fully RSS-enabled
@thibaultamartin : I believe my own blog check the two first items:
English-only: https://ploum.net/atom_en.xml
English+French: https://ploum.net/atom.xml
Good news:
fixthenews.com/rss
@CynthesisToday hooo thanks!
@thibaultamartin
For US-centric tech reporting, I follow 404 media their RSS feed is full text without an account needed. https://www.404media.co/rss/
LMNT creates user interfaces and also comments on US tech news - https://lmnt.me/feed.xml
2 fun blogs that have been around a long time are Tacky Raccoons - miscellaneous fun stuff and pics/videos/gifs from around the web - https://tackyraccoons.com/feed/
and
Cake Wrecks - when bakers flub it - https://feeds.feedburner.com/CakeWrecks
Good recos, thanks @somcak!
