I'm surprised they haven't kicked off over my ad-blocker.

> it's a feed of news curated by google supposed to match our interests Really? I've always found it to be awful, majority things I am not interested in. I just checked, and only 2 in 10 were mildly interesting to me. Three of them were about sports, which is way off the mark for me. Does it optimise based on my interactions with that application in particular, or is it meant to be linked with the rest of my google a…
Being pro-active about telling it which topics or sources you don't like helps a lot. My only wish is to say that I don't like a specific article. Often I get an article on a topic from a source I generally like but the specific article is junk.
I've tried that with politics and sports, but it seems to be incapable of understanding what you DO NOT want to see.
It seems to be much more concerned about false negatives than false positives, showing you more instead of less simply because some metrics (like regional popularity) indicates you might like it.

#424I’ve been using a hosted copy of TIny Tiny RSS ( https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki ) for a few years now combined with Fiery Feeds on iOS. It’s been rock solid for me, it took a few weeks to dial in my settings for TTRSS but once those were locked in It’s pretty empowering to filter out a lot of the noise in the news cycle.
Agree that this is an excellent combo.

#425I've continued using RSS for years, even when it was a "dying" technology. It certainly never died for me, and is super useful. It's probably the first app I reach for in the morning. I use a few apps not mentioned here. Each is for a Unix/Linux platform: Newsbeuter is a console RSS feeder that's a dream if you prefer keyboard driven software. You can update one feed or all of them, search across all feeds for key words, export to OPML, etc. I also used curn, a java app that can email you your custom feed update whenever you run it with cron. Lastly, rawdog updates feeds and publishes a custom web page. I use it on a VPS running a webserver, and visit it from wherever I like. RSS has been a good way for me to stay in touch with individual bloggers etc who publish sporadically. And I inherently distrust any software that wants to customize a feed for me based on my interests, etc. I always suspect they are more focused on pushing to me what others have paid them to push, than showing me what they think I'll like. How can any paid company ever keep straight those two inherently different things? ("Here, I think you'd like this because I earn money if you do").

#426I describe myself as the last "old" using RSS because after Google Reader went away, I found Inoreader. It's a clone, with tons more filtering features and (importantly) the ability to follow Twitter feeds and searches as well. I recently discovered HN RSS, which is awesome for showing comments: https://hnrss.org/newcomments?q=kubernetes+OR+k8s And here's the trick for seeing all new tweets with relevant hashtags but…
I don't know why I ever stopped using Inoreader in favor of Feedly. Feedly's Android app is atrocious and I can't open links in Android Chrome using feedly.com, which just made me stop using RSS altogether. It wasn't broken in the first place, I have no idea why I meddled with it.

#427Problem is, Facebook for me is the tool to stay in touch with friends. Events are organized on Facebook and I can't just drop FB because of this.

#428I've actually been working on RSS-like feed for newsletters website in my free time. It's still soon to tell if it's useful, but I am slowly starting to replace email subscriptions.

I prefer using Inoreader's mobile website to their iPhone app, since it opens links in my regular browser.

:-) RFC822 mail is fairly simple at its heart - X.400 was a lot more detailed
"sendmail gets rather confused by bytes between 128 and 159; it uses them for internal macro handling." https://cr.yp.to/immhf/header.html That's got to be a sitter of a security hole for something, right?
According to the Wayback machine, that page is at least from the year 2000 or older, and the two example mails he gives are both from 1996. I would assume that any bug in sendmail which would have existed back then will be fixed by now.
