random reminder that an easy way to say fuck you to google is becoming completely obsessed with RSS feeds. they have gone out of their way to kill them.

  • Youtube channels that I’m interested in, so that I don’t have to use my Youtube account or the app, and just open the links via Invidious (Invidious offers their own RSS feeds, as well, but since the instances can be a bit finicky from time to time, I feel like that’s the safer approach)
  • World News and Europe feeds from BBC, Deutsche Welle and Reuters
  • https://restofworld.org/
  • 404 Media and The Verge
  • GamingOnLinux, Steam Deck HQ and Boiling Steam for gaming things
  • updates on some software that I use - CalyxOS and LineageOS blogs, KOReader’s Github releases since my Kindle stays offline 99% of the time, modified port of Google Camera that I use on my phone
  • a few TikTok people whose videos I then open through https://offtiktok.com
  • release updates from the artists I’m interested in (currently Spotify-based, but I’m in the process of moving those to Music Butler)
  • https://reasonstobecheerful.world because I need to know how reintroducing beavers to London has improved everything
  • several webcomics, Tumblr blogs, and one newsletter from the Nazi-hugging newsletter place
  • http://miniature-calendar.com/

several of those are possible thanks to RSS Bridge which adds RSS feeds for websites that don’t offer it by default or offers improved versions.

Do you run 404 Media through RSS bridge as well?

nope, I use the official https://www.404media.co/rss/ link. sometimes it pulls the entire article even though I’m on a free tier, and sometimes it doesn’t and I just open it in the browser instead.
