I'd assume that somebody who misses RSS will also be happy with pulling only few times a day and not every few minutes. That's why push became so popular but with a different subset of users. Everybody goes through a push-positive phase but some (like me) come to a conclusion that this is unhealthy and distracting in the long run - hence the fond memories of technology like RSS.
- eloisius 5y agoSwitching back to Linux after ten years on Mac, I had completely forgotten how much I love it when my computer does _not_ notify me about anything. I have no notification system installed. It’s been a few months and I haven’t missed anything, but I feel more relaxed and focused while using the computer. Notification are mind pollution.
- charcircuit 5y agoI like notifications on linux. It allows me to know when a livestream starts or when a person I like tweets immediately instead of me only realizing hours later.
- eloisius 5y agoHaha, I suppose this illustrates how well Linux can work for every different preference, but both of those sound like exactly what I don’t want at all. Being called to pay attention to something, immediately, because some other person did something, not directly interacting with me, is the antithesis of how I want to spend my time.
