These look nice! The fifth one to the right of the tallest walking stick is surprisingly straight. Almost looks like it could double as a fighting staff.
OpenRSS is a cool site that aims to produce RSS feeds for sites without them at no cost (some conditions apply, e.g. no account-walled/paywalled sites may be requested).
There's also the Feedbro add-on for Firefox (and other browsers) that can be used to check if a website has a RSS feed buried somewhere to add to your reader.
If you'd like to keep up with some non-commercial music, you could check out the Editor's Picks from ccMixter. Here's the direct feed link.
In case of follow-up questions:
- Mobile Apps: personally I'm mostly using Feeder on Android these days. I like to be able to see a lot of feed entries at once and this works best for me. I've tried apps like Read You and Nunti, but they weren't showing as much as I wanted.
- Worth noting though, Nunti may be worth trying for its unique feature that tries to adjust your feeds to surface articles/entries that may be of more interest to you with offline systems.
- Desktop/laptop: I'm still sort of searching on this one. For the moment I use Thunderbird, but it's not RSS-focused so it's more than I want from a reader.
Not bad at all! If you enjoyed it you should keep at it
Huh, that's cool! Thanks!
p.s. I meant a digital widget/thing, but it's cool to know this tool exists!
Was thinking the same and you can.
Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.
The balcony lives!
My problem with them is this and YouTube's aggressive pushing of them in general and in the wrong places, like any device with a horizontal display (like when using a PC/laptop).
In my opinion vertical videos are better viewed on a vertical display (like a phone) and nowhere else, because everywhere else they look worse. Now that I'm thinking more of this though...I should see if any shmup people are showing off via shorts, 'cause that'd be a good fit.
I hope more resources are put toward restoring and preserving their environments so they don't go extinct. Fascinating as hell creatures, and who knows if there's anything else like them out there.
Also didn’t include this one in the skeets but it’s included in my blog post write up:
~~Err, is there a separate blog with all the posts and links all in one? Or what you've linked is what you're referring to? In any case I appreciate the effort, although I'd sort of have preferred a reformat for here (i.e. copy each microblog post into one large post here).~~
My bad, posted before I finished skimming to the bottom to see the blog post.
Also neither here nor there, but personally I'd just call them a series of Bluesky posts. "Skeeting" feels as much of an awkward effort to normalize a word's use as "tooting" was on Mastodon.
Edit:
That's an interesting deep dive of a blog post. Appreciate the timeline to track what was what with some of the policy decisions.
Also if it's not that, it may be related to account language settings. Same deal, go into settings under profile/account and check that you have undetermined selected along with any other languages you want to be able to see.
Edit:
Almost forgot, to select multiple languages you'll have to hold Ctrl and click each one in the Web UI (I think probably Photon as well).
No, sorry. To put it in your terms Lemmy would be a "platform" like how you describe Mastodon/Pixelfed.
The reason I suggested mentioning feddit.org instead is because it's what you're using and where someone else could sign up and join easily.
Mentioning Lemmy (or Mastodon/Pixelfed) doesn't tell people any site to sign up on, just what tech they're built with.
That's the corporate web: sterile, intrusive, manipulative, endless list of negative descriptors.
It's why you gotta take whatever's of value from it and put it elsewhere so you can get away from it as much as possible. Then spend more of your time using the public web intentionally for things that you enjoy and interest you, instead of allowing the corporate web to use you.
