I wish Netflix had an RSS feed of the things you watched.

Sharing some of my favourite ListenBrainz / MusicBrainz findings over the last few months. ✨
*ICYMI:*
* #ListenBrainz is a free and open source service that can keep track of your music listens across different apps, platforms, and players, similar to last.fm.*
* #MusicBrainz is the user-generated encyclopedia that ListenBrainz feeds from to display info about tracks, albums, artists, etc.*

Tired of waiting until the end of the year to get music stats? You can subscribe to an #RSS feed of your top songs/artists/albums for the last hour/day/week/month.

For example, I get a weekly alert of my top 10 tracks from the previous week using the following link:

Thanks for all the recommendations y’all! Guess I have some tinkering to do. #newsreader #newsreaders #RSS
Anyone have a #newsreader recommendation? Must have good iOS apps and not be Feedly or Inoreader.
They’re both great apps but they’re chasing business customers with collaboration tools. I’m just one person who wants to organize my news feeds.
A read later feature that accepts external links would be welcome but not necessary. I don’t have a great read later solution right now.

Hey #RSS gurus. I'm asking a serious question, and not in the form of a poll.
I self-host #FreshRSS. The whole point should be to click on the thumbnail / summary of an article and then read the full article without leaving the comfort of the feed reader. Right?
Why does the following happen with some feeds (see attachment)?
I have a big favor to ask.
If you have an rss feed please reply to this with your blog url and a few words on what it’s about
Testing the heck out of my calm rss reader and I want to sub and read your posts and discover some new friends!
My new EP - it's not ok computer is out today!
A mixture of noise, electro, trip hop and dub, made with springs and things in my shed.
As is customary, I'm self-hosting the music and it's avialible over RSS and as a podcast, supporting Podcasting 2.0 features, including Boostagrams etc, with each track being an episode. Either search on a podcast app or go direct to my Fedi server at.

It's also available on Mirlo and Bandcamp. It's free/name your price on those, if you dig the sounds then obviously any support is most appreciated. This won't be on traditional streaming platforms because...
1 Fuck them.
2 I'm not into surveillance death tech.
3 Daniel Elk isn't a real elk.
I'm also hosting a listening party tomorrow at 19:30 UTC, I'll link that tomorrow.

damn "How We Lost Communication to Entertainment" by @ploum hits hard — can't decide between setting up my own snac2 instance or just getting rid of this account for good

"An interface that shows you an unread count is making an argument: that reading is something to be counted, that progress is something to be measured, that your relationship to this content is one of obligation. We should be more conscious of which arguments we're immersing ourselves in, hour after hour, day after day."

If you (or someone you know) has written a response to my phantom obligation essay I would love to read it.
The web can be a dialogue not just a broadcast channel!

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).
> Why do RSS readers look like email clients? […]
> You can't borrow the layout of an inbox without also borrowing some of its psychology.
A deeply insightful post about #RSSreader UI designs.
> … unread count means something specific […] social debt.
#PhantomObligation: "The guilt you feel for something no one asked you to do."
Not advertising for DHH, but Hey made in interesting design choice for newsletter emails, that likely works for #RSS readers as well: https://www.hey.com/features/the-feed/
