that is the expected baseline
I don’t know what world you’re living in, but that is absolutely not the expected baseline for consumer facing software in 2018 (unfortunately).
- cyberpunk0 8y agoNo it is, it's just not what our dogshit economic system brainwashes you into assuming.

I don't know what world you're living in, but none of the "consumer facing" software I use has built-in tracking, including my RSS reader. It's actually sad that apparently even the tech literate people on HN have given up and just accept that creepy corporate tracking is a way of life. What's even more sad is that I know many people here work for companies that do this and they go along with it.
- vvillena 8y agoIf you use an RSS aggregator like Feedly, Newsblur, The Old Reader, or Inoreader, it's safe to assume and expect they will track you. It's shitty and there is (was?) no real alternative.
- iand 8y agoThe alternative is a paid reader with no ads.
- brennebeck 8y agoThat also works.
- jlarocco 8y agoI know, which is I don't use any of those. The alternative is to not use shitty web apps.
- vvillena 8y agoWhat then? Do I have to maintain my own RSS aggregator server so I can read my feeds on multiple devices? Or do I have to restrict myself to a single device?
- brennebeck 8y agoFeedbin is open source. Wouldn’t be difficult to get that running for a cheap box on DO or whatever.
