#52Obsolete? RSS is the only way i can get a list of new youtube videos from my subscribed channels.
Go over your feed? useless!
go over my subscribed feed till i get back to last video i saw? way too much work and that feed was known to fail (just like clicking the bell)
the only working solution is RSS feed for every channel i want to follow and automation to add those to my different playlists

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
RSS is replaced by personalized feeds that people see by logging into specific platforms and participate through the intended user engagement. That is how those companies earn money.
That isn't usually how NGOs raise money.
Yes, but I have seen a pattern in many websites for clubs, non-profits, student projects and other non-commercial places. They follow trends that they see in popular services. The idea that RSS is dead is unlikely to have originated from the NGO.

#54I wish that government entities used it, or at least released a changelog for certain pages. Following coronavirus guideline updates in Berlin has been very difficult. For now I use Wachete to achieve this.
This is one of those things where I would have expected the opposite in your country vs the US, my country. Here pretty much everything important has an RSS feed. The Internal Revenue Service, Health and Human Services, even my local news.
The US has a reputation abroad for being cutthroat and business oriented, but in reality US public administration can be remarkably civically minded. For example, look at the wealth of data that the NOAA gives away for anyone to do what they please with. Whereas their European counterparts are mostly just unhelpful, or they gouge you with fees.
The most glaring exception I can think of is not making it easy to file tax returns, for the benefit of companies like Intuit.

#55ActivityHub (formerly known as PubSubHubBub) is also acceptable. No social media intermediary required, and it's actively developed. Edit: I meant WebSub above. ActivityHub is cool too but not quite in the same space.
Do you mean ActivityPub (used by the "fediverse" such as Mastodon) or WebSub (which was formerly known as PubSubHubbub).
The former isn't really an equivalent. It requires being always online to receive updates which means that you need to use a service or run your own. It isn't as nice as RSS which can fall back to very occasional polling from my own devices. RSS is also way simpler with a polling rather than subscribing and push.
In my opinion the best option for public publishing is Atom (RSS 2 is also ok) with WebSub support. This provides a really solid set of features.
The only reason I would really recommend ActivityPub is if you need private posts. Otherwise RSS/Atom will be the simpler solution.

#56Reminds me a bit of OFX, you know that technology that lets you download statements/etc from financial institutions to your own personal financial applications. Thereby avoiding giving random 3rd parties access to all your financial information.

#57Is there a current and well functioning tool that pulls full articles from the links inside most RSS feeds that only publish teasers? When I first discovered RSS for me, I wanted news to read on the road. It was before Smartphones became ubiquitous. Unfortunately most news sites only published a few lines of text per article. Now, I would like to do the same when there is no network coverage. But I still don't know a…
I'm not affiliated but I use both of these services and seem to do a good job:

#58Obsolete?! Replaced by what?!?!?!? I think obsolescence implies replacement!
RSS is replaced by personalized feeds that people see by logging into specific platforms and participate through the intended user engagement. That is how those companies earn money.
That's not a replacement, much like lobotomy is not a replacement for anything.

Newspaper project for Python might help.

#60Is RSS really a technology or a part of the failed attempt of having a semantic web (the real web 3.0) ? RSS is easily replaceable by just scrapping a website, technologically speaking it doesn't make sense to have everyone making a request to website every minute. We could have a central service responsible for that, but I guess it will centralized and some people don't like that
> RSS is easily replaceable by just scrapping a website
A custom analysis by the user - maybe tech illiterate -, from every user, for every, supposedly complex, website, instead of some xml-izing wrapping over 'SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY pubdate DESC LIMIT 100'?!
> a request to website every minute
RSS takes less bandwidth than doing the same operation through direct visit. And of course, one is not supposed to do it that frequently; though again, some browsing agents may load pages more frequently than every minute.
