ah damn. I've been working on a project that is supposed to emulate getting The Sunday Paper.
Only updated on Sundays with the top headlines of the week. No annoying pings, no data collection, etc.
I was demotivated when I scrolled through this, but luckily I still feel as though mine is different enough.
- xixixao 6y agoIt’s encouraging that others have been contemplating this idea - I have been too. For me the key is that content can come every day, but it is delayed based on it’s importance. So instead of Sunday news printing something that happened Saturday, this model prints about the Saturday event two weeks later on a Tuesday when all the facts are known. But it doesn’t have to be every day. The hard part is that I don’t just want this for myself, I want this for everyone that is currently captured by the toxic 24/7 9/11-style news cycle. The society is in a permanent panic/outrage mode. Breaking that will be tough.
- vuciv1 6y agoAbsolutely, that's a great idea. Only release something when all the facts are known! (Although coding that seems pretty difficult, and curating it seems exhausting) The news cycle is absolutely toxic. People shouldn't have 24/7 access to the news. The pressure to create news immediately, and in turn, to read them it immediately, is harmful for everyone. Plus, with very few exceptions, it doesn't matter if you hear about it in 2 seconds or 2 weeks. I hope to hear about what you're building! Sounds great.
