Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.

I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.

They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what’s happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.

They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

I’d also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.

Not sure if you use RSS feeds, but you can easily get one for any Lemmy discussion and subscribe to it. Here’s an RSS feed for this discussion, for example.

Still trying to figure out how a comment about USA culture suddenly becomes a white vs black race issue… “culture” doesnt equal “race”. Especially in the context of a discussion of an entire country.

We’ll also need a mansplainer.md, please

I feel the same way about RSS feeds. It’s a technology meant to keep up with updates on nearly anything across the internet. Even social media sites. It’s been available for ages. But no one is pushing for sites to provide them. 🤷‍♂️

Ooh that reminds me. Been cranky all morning…

This is 👍. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering–since the beginning of the internet, practically.

As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they’re a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.

They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.

Take that, Stack Overflow! Programming.dev on deck!!! Let’s gooooooo

Yeah I think this was hastily done to prevent the XSS injection attacks that were happening IIRC. They implemented encoding for content, but looks like they never got around to fully decoding it.

Issue could’ve been avoided by just restricting the encoding to when the user types content in (and before database insertion), and decoding when showing the content in the UI.

Yeah they’d have to maintain upgrades security patches etc and could get pricey depending on how much storage and bandwidth is involved.

Inoreader. Syncs across multiple devices too.

I think you meant to link to https://podcast.asknoahshow.com instead?

My comment is in reference to the UI. Auth and APIs require a different set of tech and have nothing to do with the UI.

I appreciate improving the UI, but why all the frameworks? Building simple static pages using the native web platform would give you a super fast site without all the cruft. Using Rust in place of JavaScript? This just sounds like we’re trading a “frankenstein’s monster” with something that will eventually end up being another version of it.

Hmm I didn’t have to log in and I’m able to see everything and reply. I just upvoted a few things while on it. Maybe it only works for a subset of users?

Yeah which makes me believe they’re probably going to axe it

😉 Thanks

Edited the OP to explicitly include the protocol in the link. That may have fixed it. Try clicking on the link in post again.
