Pluralistic: The web is bearable with RSS (07 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/07/reader-mode/
It's almost impossible to overstate how superior RSS is to the median web page. Imagine if the newsletters you followed were rendered with black, clear type on a plain white background (rather than the sadistically infinitesimal, greyed-out type that designers favor thanks to the unkillable urban legend that black type on a white screen causes eye-strain). Imagine reading the web without popups, without ads, without nag screens. Imagine reading the web without interruptors or "keep reading" links.

Why I Stopped Following the News | Mert Bulan
https://mertbulan.com/2026/01/28/why-i-stopped-following-the-news/
If I have to pick my favourite German word, I would probably pick “neugierig” because it describes me very well. It means curious, but that is not the literal meaning. Like many German words, it comes from two parts: neu and gierig. Neu means new, and gierig means greedy. So the literal idea behind neugierig is being greedy for new things. That fits me well.
Custom Containerized Sandboxes for AI Agents | by Rafael Ben-Ari | Dec, 2025 | Medium
https://medium.com/@rafaelbenari/custom-containerized-sandboxes-for-ai-agents-dd2cd2603b3b
One of the first things I do every morning is to check the news. And almost always I dislike the news quite a bit. So I wanted to have a “newspaper” with topics that cover my interests, and that is also fun to read. This is how “Gradient Descent” was born: a nightly aggregation of (mostly) local-AI news, community summary, links and posts.

Why RSS matters
https://werd.io/why-rss-matters/
RSS has always worked quietly in the background. In a moment when the web is being reshaped by enclosure, consolidation, and algorithmic mediation, its reliability is exactly what we need. It offers a simple, durable way for publishers to keep control of their distribution and for readers to keep control of their attention, without permission, platform lock-in, or hidden agendas. If we treat RSS not as a relic of an earlier web but as the strategic infrastructure it already is, it can continue to anchor a more open, more resilient, and more humane internet for decades to come.

Remember to not leave all the work to the AI : Global Nerdy
https://www.globalnerdy.com/2025/11/12/remember-to-not-leave-all-the-work-to-the-ai/
I have nothing against using AI as a writing assistant. It’s fantastic for checking spelling, grammar, and flow, it can help you out of writer’s block, and it can do something that you could never do, no matter how smart or creative you are: it can come up with ideas you’d never come up with.
So yes, use AI, but you have to do some of the work, and you have to double-check it before putting that work out in the world!

Yes, subscriptions are a good way to do that. And yes, cookies do often keep your computer secure.

Michael Crichton - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect
In a speech in 2002, Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann amnesia effect to describe the phenomenon of experts reading articles within their fields of expertise and finding them to be error-ridden and full of misunderstanding, but seemingly forgetting those experiences when reading articles in the same publications written on topics outside of their fields of expertise, which they believe to be credible. He explained that he had chosen the name ironically, because he had once discussed the effect with physicist Murray Gell-Mann, "and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have."

Nick Bradbury: The Friction in Frictionless Sharing
http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/the-friction-in-frictionless-sharing.html
Well, no, not really. Because in the past the user only had to decide whether to share something they just read, but now they have to think about every single article before they even read it. If I read this article, then everyone will know I read it, and do I really want people to know I read it?
New York Times Adds A Twist To Hyperlinks | The Daily Feed | Minyanville.com
http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed/new-york-times-adds-a
The Atlantic noticed that the New York Times updated its internal hyperlinks and allowed for special commands for more user control. Similar to cuing YouTube videos at a specific point, special code can be added at the end of URLs to link to or highlight specific paragraphs and sentences. Intended for bloggers to underscore certain passages, it's still a nifty trick for sharing excerpts between day-to-day readers.

Right now, Dave’s working on a “magnificent symphony of software” – it’s the communication system he wants to use. It involves a minimal blogging tool with only RSS output (plus a dongle that will push the RSS to twitter, etc), a “River of News” aggregator, and an overarching tool for creating content that can be picked apart and included on other platforms.

The purported death of RSS
http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/11/10/the-purported-death-of-rss
Just as /Library is now hidden from an OS X Lion user, and just as the iOS platform is locked down and sandboxed, RSS is simply dropping off into the background. Content is being syndicated and aggregated just as before. Perhaps even more so than in the past. Virtually everyone with a Facebook, Google+, or Twitter account follows a news-providing entity. Those entities share content feeds. Those content feeds are generally derived from the XML and Atom feeds that comprise the RSS.

3 Google Reader Changes Need Repair Now - Internet - Google - Informationweek
http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/231902111
This is essential. There were several feeds that I subscribed to from individuals that were an absolutely vital part of my informational flow. Now, I no longer have access to those feeds. Instead, Google hopes that I'll watch those same people in Google+ to see what they share publicly. Only these were private feeds meant pretty much only for me. In the 36 hours or so that I've been using the new Reader, I've been unable to access these feeds or find alternatives that are as easy to use.

And that is exactly what’s bugging me about the death of Reader Share. It was an info pantry, not a colander—a place well stocked with nourishing brain food. I followed a number of people who had demonstrated, day after day, a sharp eye for items worth my time. Every time I clicked that “people you follow” link to see what they’d shared, I could count on learning something.
Unoccupy Google Reader | Jack Shafer
http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2011/11/03/unoccupy-google-reader
We users had been warned for weeks that a redesign of the popular (and free) RSS reader was in the making, so the appearance of a new version didn’t come as a shock. The only shock was how terrible the new version is. It subverts users’ needs in favor of Google’s. The company wants to fight Facebook with a uniform interface for its free suite of services—which also includes Gmail, Calendar, and Docs—that will encourage sharing of content on its newish social-networking product, Google+. But in making the whole Google product line visually consistent, the company has crippled one of its best offerings.

http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/google-reader-backlash-a-fuss-over-nothing/247707
But for people who used Google Reader's sharing features, the upgrade is a big loss, for all intents and purposes ruining that aspect of Reader. The old sharing methods have been totally supplanted with Google+ tools, which, quality aside, are too different to satisfy the same needs. I'm going to dive into the nitty-gritty here, so consider yourself warned.
Google Doesn't Seem to Want to Fix Reader - Rebecca J. Rosen - Technology - The Atlantic
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/google-doesnt-want-to-fix-reader/247858
Even before Google unveiled it's changes to Reader, it did not care what users thought. In the first blog post announcing the changes, Google said, "We recognize, however, that some of you may feel like the product is no longer for you." As a nice gesture, Google gave people tools for transferring their feeds and social data to other RSS aggregators, but the point was clear: You don't have to like what we're about to do.
