Not entirely related, but I want to mention that we have almost 2020 and Safari still doesn't support service workers push notifications (Push API). Shame on you Apple.

#32The weirdest thing about this is that Apple News still hijacks links to Atom/RSS feeds - so if you click on one of those links in Mobile Safari you'll be bounced to the News app, which will then display an error. Here's a video I recorded of this behaviour: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1210622908143415297 I think I'd rather they displayed a dump of ugly XML in the browser, just so I could copy and paste the URL…
What’s even worse if you click on a podcast link, it will take you to News and then it takes you to podcasts.
I don't see how that's worse than breaking an entire media format, but it does sound weird.

This is how apple.com looks like on Safari (c) by Apple: https://ibb.co/ct6LTB0

Apple's hijacking of links, addresses, etc, is possibly their top abuse of power.
The other possible top abuse is the way they block you in your group messages if you switch from iPhone to Android.

Maybe I’m old school, but I don’t want push notifications from my web browser.

It's just a project manager that's not worth half the salary.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
I love newsbeuter, it's how I get all latest news about the death of RSS :)
Feels like there has been a bit of a resurgence lately, not that I have any hard data to back that up. The major players ie google and now apple have dumped it, but most blogs and news sites still have rss feeds.
RSS has always been the best way to follow multiple webcomics. I'm not sure why it seems so little-known in that world.

#38More people spend time worrying about the decline of RSS than the amount of people actually using RSS.
Re: Apple News No Longer Supports RSS
#39Honestly I didn't even know that you could add RSS feeds to Apple News. But I already stopped using it, because no matter how often I thumbed-up real news, and thumbed-down clickbait and ads, the "front page" was always a frustrating mix of mostly clickbait and ads. I currently use the Google News app on my iPhone for "real" headline news, but I'm not super happy about it.
I personally blocked quite a few channels [0] on Apple News on my iPhone and the experience is a lot better now consequently. Despite what Apple says about their curation policies, the vast majority of content of the channels I blocked was pure junk/clickbait.

Can you expand please on the blocking group messages?
