I’d like to take my RSS feeds from an aggregator of news to a curated selection of interesting things. Interesting newsletters and blogs are where I think RSS shines, but I struggle to find this content.
For anyone considering Elfeed (Emacs RSS Reader), coming from an Emacs user, please just use newsboat. It is so much better, the fact newsboat has macro support really sealed the deal for me. You can use macros to open feeds in any program you want, for instance, a macro to open feed in mpv:
bind-key SPACE macro-prefix
unbind-key ,
macro o set browser "mpv %u &>/dev/null &" ; open-in-browser-and-mark-read ; set browser "<your-browser-command> %u &"
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
+1 for Newsboat on Linux
