Yeah maybe rss.app will make one too. I mean Thus continues the removal of Google from my life.

Google news wil do RSS. It's kind of like an alert or a search, but it does it. For instance: https://news.google.com/rss/topics/CAAqKggKIiRDQkFTRlFvSUwyM... https://www.fivefilters.org/2021&#

Happens a lot these days, unfortunately.

I still use Reddit. I like to comment on things etc. I just keep a whole bunch of feeds, with a whole bunch of items in Miniflux. In other words, I have a nice archive going.

Um... who does that???
66.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
I've always heard it as "rich site summary," which was back in the early 2000s.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Hmm, guess you found the one place it doesn't work.

Love the Miniflux!! Although I think I pulled something after this latest release lol.

Yes but it keeps going down, and having strange 404s randomly. If this keeps happening, they'll probably just give it the shuv one day.

Yeah evil. Definitely agree!!

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
groups.io still supports them. Yes Google is stupid!!!

They may want to look into using a screen reader to avoid eye strain, or headaches depending on what their condition is. Everything has one built-in at this point. Windows has Narrator, the Mac and iPhone both have VoiceOver, and Androi

What people who use TTS on a regular basis usually want is something that gets the job done quickly. This is why natural-sounding TTS isn't generally a good thing. That being said, there are some people who like it. I'm defini

Also, if you don't do anything with it afterwards, what kind of claims does anyone have?

Well just download NVDA, and run it through you're RSS reader. It will read RSS feeds for you. I don't think that's what you're getting at, but it will do that, just as it does other things.

So yeah I use VoiceOver to navigate my phone on a daily basis, but I'm not a fan of reading things with it. If I'm going on a trip or something, I'll put the Kindle app on my phone. Otherwise I use NVDA on my desktop for

What if I wanted to listen to say a dynamically updating web page? Of course my screen reader will do that for me, but I'd like to try that with the service just for kicks.

I simply meant feeds like this, for instance. https://lifehacker.com/tag/privacy/rss I have a whole bunch of tag-based feeds from Pinboard, and searches from HNRSS as well.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
They do. Well in a good RSS reader, anyway.

When applied to everything, it's an RSS reader. For instance, Youtube offers RSS, so why not just put them in there? If you can find a podcast feed, you could put those in there, too. RSS readers aren't just for news sites.

I'm not sure if it's a majority, however, I certainly recommend them everywhere I can. I've been using them since before Google reader shut down, so they've certainly been around a while.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
If I were to give you my OPML you'd see several examples of topic-based feeds. Whether that's a category or a tag.
83.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Yeah you should keep doing this. Every! single! time!!!

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
I believe the same thing, as well. You know what people talk about on Twitter these days? RSS. RSs readers, which ones they recommend etc. I have a daily alert that comes to me about this, and I've also done Twitter searches on this to

Guess what? Substack supports RSS. Every substack has a feed.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
That was my question too. I fell asleep earlier, and I'm like did I wake up in some twilight zone without RSS???
87.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
OK well I think you should have elaborated more. I see a post that says we've lost RSS and I'm just like come on, give me a break, not another one of those!!!!
88.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
They still have them.
89.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Oh twitter. They used to have it way back in 2007 or so.

Yeah apparently. I have no idea why this is the case, but it definitely is. Google did shut down reader, but that didn't shut down RSS. It's hard to take down an open standard like that with just the end of one app.
