Someone really thought they were doing us all a favor by explaining that #ATProto doesn’t have “instances” 🧐—a concept only Mastodon-lovers care about. 🚀 Meanwhile, the rest of us are too busy mourning the loss of Google Reader and pretending we still use #RSS like it’s 2006. 📉 #TechNostalgia

There Are No Instances in atproto — overreacted

Like RSS and Google Reader.

Ah, look who's back from the grave! 🤖 #RSS is apparently alive and kicking, thriving with #AI #agents as its new BFFs. So much for Google Reader's dramatic funeral in 2013, turns out we just needed some bots to care again. 🙄📜

RSS Is Back. AI Agents Are Reading It.

Google Reader died in 2013 and everyone called it. But RSS never stopped powering podcasting, and now AI agents need exactly what RSS does.

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.

The Death Of Google Reader Opens The Door To A Smarter Subscription Ecosystem | TechCrunch

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.

#GoogleReader

I'm getting flashbacks now to my #iGoogle homepage which had a widget giving me NYT stories, or via #GoogleReader.

2006, in my Mac era.

When Apple made adequate hardware and good software.

P-p-p-p-powerbook!
