(Joke) I'm kind of surprised that Hacker News readers are into goats! My cousin runs a goat company, and she's not the kind of person who'd read Hacker News. (She rents out her goats to remove problematic vegetation, like poison ivy and invasive vines.) According to Google, "GOAT Blogs" are blogs about goats: https://www.google.com/search?q=GOAT+blog&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS99... Suggestion (edited): Edit the post just enoug…

Back at the beginning of the pandemic, there was a farm that would rent goats to appear on your Zoom meetings. You'd PayPal them something like 20 bucks, and e-mail the meeting code/link and a goat would show up. I always thought that was the GOAT use of goats.

That'd still be a cool service.

I installed an RSS reader on my phone a couple of weeks ago, and I've been pleasantly surprised. All my sites have feeds, and I've replaced compulsively reloading half a dozen websites with occasionally opening a reader app. And having a common interface is nice. I wonder why I stopped using a reader, a decade or so ago.

Probably because they killed Google Reader

In fact there are 3 RSS feed types User : " rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user= Channel : " rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= Playlist : " rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=

thanks, but the feeds are not updated, it looks like? for example https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=mkbhd lists some old videos!

Confusingly, mkbhd the user and channel are different:

https://www.youtube.com/user/mkbHD

https://www.youtube.com/c/mkbhd

For some reason though using channel_id=mkbhd doesn't work. This is a working link: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCBJycsm...

It is embedded on the channel page as element, your RSS reader should accept the web page link and figure it out.

Honestly, I looked at this discussion just to know what "GOAT blogs" are. General rule of thumb with communication: Try to avoid acronyms, because chances are most people will have no idea what you're talking about. If you do need to use them, make sure you very quickly define what the acronym is. FWIW: Even the Google doesn't know what GOAT blogs are. Searching for GOAT blogs brings up blogs about goats: https://www…

> General rule of thumb with communication So this friend of mine is currently reading a history book in French. Full of acronyms, not recognizable in the current international use. SMI, DTS, OPEP, OTAN, OCDE... (Those should have been spared from localization. If born in English, so they should be preserved; in French, the rest should adapt to that - at least in the acronym.)

If you don't already know, the story of why UTC is the "acronym" for Coordinated Universal Time is short, but fun: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/utc-abbreviation.html I used "UTC" for years without noticing it isn't really an acronym.

I’ve been trying to rent this exact service, but the most popular guy in my area is also apparently a flake

A flake? this is getting too much, i don't even know what a goat is supposed to mean yet.

...To avoid discussion between English 'CUT' and French 'TUC', a form that does not place the substantive, 'T', neither before nor after the attributes - just in the middle. ("Universal Time, Coordinated [standard]"?) Nice!
