Perviously I doomscrolled a lot on website which shall not be named. Now that it's gone (for me) I recognize that I like it a lot better without.
To waste/spend my time in the future I try to subscribe consciously to interesting things with low signal to noise ratio. So what are your favourite RSS feeds you are subscribed?
I came to the same conclusion. I’ve been using Reeder on MacOS. So many feeds these days do not have full content but the Reeder app can be configured to pull all of the text (minus some of the images).
Anyway, these have been my favorite feeds categorized by interest:
The Atlantic and Wired for Culture
Ars Technica, The Verge, VGC, IGN, Push Square for Gaming
Torrent Freak for Piracy
Wired for Science
The Verge for Crypto
The Verge, Wired for AI
Hacker News (frontpage with 250 point minimum), The Atlantic for Technology
9to5Mac for Apple
You’ll notice that some sites show up multiple times but that is because I subscribe to sub-feeds for my categories of interest.
I tried RSS for coindesk and cointelegraph but it was just a flood of hourly crypto movements and such. I wanted something a little more "big picture" haha.
Ha! I am currently subscribed to 357 RSS/Atom feeds, at least some of which are English-speaking and technology-related. However, "tech" is a too broad term to give good recommendations.
FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator, only downside is the language chosen to build it isn't with security & privacy in mind. https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
FeedMe as a client reader application for the RSS service, again same issue. https://github.com/seazon/FeedMe
But hey it's open source & with no deliberate backdoor programmed, none that's obvious anyways.
Replying to recommend NewsBlur to anyone that’s looks for a reader. They have a free tier, and solid mobile apps (for iOS anyways). https://NewsBlur.com
Find some interesting blogs and subscribe to those. The ones that don't try to churn out content every day are the best. They only post when they have something interesting.
You should get into Personal websites' RSS feeds. I recommend checking #100DaysToOffload if you have Mastodon or similar, they are pretty much small blogs done by people just trying to write about stuff, nothing too serious, but entertaining
Do you use Feedly for an RSS reader experience? I've been using that since it first started, and it's one of the apps I use the most.
This is what my tech news folder looks like:
Ars Technica
broadbandreports.com
Engadget
Y Hacker News: Best
MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors
NYT > Technology
TechCrunch
The Verge
Xbox Wire
