I miss only two things atm. Maybe i did not find it?
Es ist schade, dass immer weniger Webseiten RSS-Feeds anbieten, da ich gerne auf diese Art und Weise relevante Themen verfolge. Ich frage mich, ob es eine Möglichkeit gibt, RSS-Feeds zu erstellen, wo keine vorhanden sind. Habt ihr hierzu Empfehlungen? #RSS#Feeds#SocialMedia
Eleven intelligence inputs warning of Pulwama attack were ignored
Frontline’s investigation reveals that 11 intelligence inputs warning of the Pulwama terrorist attack of February 14, 2019, were ignored. Who was responsible for the “oversight”, which resulted in the death of 40 CRPF personnel, the Balakot surgical strike, and ultimately the thumping electoral victory of the BJP?
#LinkRot for #podcasts is worse than I thought. The decay seems especially noteworthy for those that use services to obfuscate links to their files.
If people don't want their podcasts to disappear they need to be proactive. One way is to archive your stuff at @internetarchive.
Podcast feeds should include links to backup files but I haven't found a standard element to represent those, either with podcast specific feeds or #RSS in general.
I’ve been using the #Feedly#rss reader on my phone/iPad for many years, but the slow enshitification of it just recently sped up. Deleted my account, looking for a new one. Recommendations?
"Today, millions of people still use RSS readers, but many times more use social-media sites and don’t even know that RSS exists.
When the primary way we read online is filtered through the algorithms of capricious corporations that can change what we see on a whim, both writers and readers suffer.
RSS is a reminder that it doesn’t have to be this way."
Below are my feed subs (I use NetNewsWire), which help me stay informed and keep learning every day (as fullstack dev interested in web, UX, and perf).
I don't think people appreciate the role that #OperaSoftware played in fostering the #OpenWeb and #IndieWeb during the first #browserWar (when the #OperaBrowser was still built on their proprietary #Presto engine), and a fortiori the role it had in their demise (when they switched to being “just another #WebKit/#Blink skin”), despite their browser never even reaching a 3% market share.
The Opera/Presto browser was pretty close to being a “swiss army knife” for the web. Aside from the #browser with a solid and modern rendering engine with decent standard support (for the time), it also integrated (in the same UI!) a workable #email client, a decent #IRC client, and a competitive #RSS reader. The browser itself not only had better support for web standards than some of the competitors (including WebKit) in many areas, but it also put effort in supporting #microformats
Again, this isn't about #MNG or #JpegXL or #RSS or web feeds support specifically: it's about the priority policies.
I do understand and appreciate that even just the maintenance of the engine to keep the pace with the evolution of the web standards is a huge undertaking —it's why so many browsers have just given up and chosen to “leech” on WebKit or Blink instead.
When the only reason to use your browser is that it's the only FLOSS alternative to Google's, you have a problem.
