It's definitely used by Youtube. Youtube has RSS feeds for all channels.
32.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
A majority of the feeds I subscribe to are https these days.
33.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Sure RSS was built to last, but I don't think The Old reader is or was.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Well I'm off to go join some quarantined subs.
35.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Although you could use rss.app to filter the feeds as well.
36.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
That isn't necessary. That's what hnrss.org is for. It will do searches, and filtering by points.

The day my mom joined Twitter, I freaked out!! Well she never was on Twitter, Twitter just said she was.

Google search was good 15 years ago, when SEO wasn't as much of a thing as it is today. Now it's pretty much errelevant.

Well I'm not anymore. I've never used Whats app and have absolutely no need for Instagram. I was on Facebook itself until I couldn't stand it.

If I absolutely wanted to, I could createa second account for that with none of my friends read: um... family, that my first account had on it.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
If I wanted to ever use Facebook again, which I don't. I'd create a new account.

I just got rid of mine. Only ever used it during holidays, birthdays, and things like that.

Honestly there are a lot more things now that lead me to believe that blogging is on an upswing. There are quite a few newer blog directories I've found recently.

Having different sites'feeds you look at in an RSS reader is different though. In my case I have over 500 of them. I continue to add and remove whenever a feed breaks or sites stop updating.

Especially CNET these days, wow!! They used to write good articles like 10 years ago. Not anymore!!

Why didn't you just keep AOL for the chat thing, and use broadband for everything else? I'm sure it wouldn't have been that much.

Yeah, back shortly after Trump's election Google had a staff meeting. The content of it was something like we weren't successful this time, but we'll win next time. OK I found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch

yeah deplatformming makes me think of Walter Cronkite. One side wants it their way, and that will be the way it is.

Or 2020, or 2019. Wait, that sounds like Facebook since it's creation.
50.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Yeah I would have to agree. I just deleted mine about a week ago. I have absolutely no regrets.

I wouldn't recommend using natural voices to read anything long. They definitely aren't fast enough. Maybe reading short emails and things like that, but when you get to long articles, it takes too much time. I also think that

I wouldn't use something like that myself. I use NVDA full time. If you actually need a screen reader, you probably want something more advance than a browser widget. https://www.nvaccess.org/

No, not really. It just reads it. You're basically talking about a screen reader, and we don't use the term dictation.
54.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Honestly what's the point of these? I mean sure, if you're driving I suppose, but you probably should be concentrating on driving lol. Also, dictation is what I do with Siri. For people who actually need TTS on a daily, regula

Thus the reason why I never, ever brows the web on my phone. Unless it's necessary. Even the Youtube ads are annoying.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Nope, not the same Google, sorry.
57.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Yep, true. Although it's taking way too long for it to die!!
58.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
It was, 20 years ago.
59.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Yep, me too!! However I've already stopped with the Google stuff so my opinion doesn't matter much.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Well either that, or never use Google again. You could also start using ad blockers and such things to avoid those web pages.
