Gerade in #miniflux wieder irgendeine Funktion benötigt und testweise die Taste gedrückt die in #GoogleReader mal dafür definiert war.
…tut natürlich!
Meinen Newsfeed-Konsum dahin zu migrieren bleibt weiterhin eine der besseren Ideen die ich hatte. #rss2email war administrativ minimal aufwändiger, aussortieren defekter feeds war Schmerz und die Mail-Clients wollten auch auf jedem OS anders gesteuert werden. Kann man mal ein Jahrzehnt oder zwei machen, aber es geht besser.
It's been 13 years ~~

Editor's note: Julien Genestoux is the founder and CEO of Superfeedr. We all know that Google Reader, which used to be the most obvious RSS subscription tool, is now gone. At the same time, we see “follow” buttons on just about every website. We are at a tipping point with two contradictory trends: the decreased visibility of RSS feeds and the popularity of the “follow” feature. Google Reader and its market share was the biggest road block to a world where “following” can be both decentralized (open!) and ubiquitous.
Ich wollte rausfinden wie lange ich ernsthaft #rss2email verwendet hatte… aber ich glaube das war wirklich seitdem das Ende für #GoogleReader angekündigt wurde?
Mindestens waren es nachweisbar 10+ Jahre!
Dafür dass ich da nie nennenswert Aufwand reingesteckt habe, war das erstaunlich kosten/nutzen-Faktor! Das Ding lief einfach immer problemlos und leise im Hintergrund.
After 13 years of it being gone, my fingers still want to type "reader" when I open a new browser tab without a clear destination in mind.
2006, in my Mac era.
When Apple made adequate hardware and good software.
P-p-p-p-powerbook!

@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.
Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and experience analysis paralysis.
I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?
