A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was upset when Reader was killed. But looking back and seeing what Google has become over time, I think it was for the best. Now we have entire companies that only do one thing: RSS, and they are good at it. If Reader was still a thing, I'm afraid it would have extinguished RSS.
This is funny, but I think Reader was a good name. At least it reflected what I want to do with the product.
Isn't the problem with RSS nowadays getting good sources? What's your reader of choice and how do you use it?
I use InoReader. Most of the sources I want/need has RSS feeds. For the rest I create feeds using Feed43. I use it daily and that's how I get news, YouTube videos, Twitter feeds (via Nitter), Reddit/Lemmy posts.
