Many moons ago, I used #RSS feed readers to read blogs. A recent post by @pluralistic has pointed out that this technology is not gone, and we can use it to make the experience of the Internet, to borrow Cory's word, bearable.

OK. To all you out there in the know, a request for advice: what do I use on Ubuntu? I would really like not to see ads by the reader, it kind of defeats the purpose.

Huge thanks for suggestions.

@alberto_cottica @pluralistic I'm a big fan of Liferia, a local RSS reader. It is the backbone of my desktop media consumption. #Liferia
