The page about RSS reminds me of how far computing has fallen from simplicity to the pit of unnecessary complexity. (https://www.foo.be/2026/03/bring-back-rss) I have continued to follow and parse hundreds of feeds for many years and I get far more useful information via RSS than social and other methods combined. Also old school is better than new school for many reasons I don't want to bore you with, so to say it succinctly:

In computing, software, and communications, 99 percent of the newer tools, languages, schemes, and protocols are redundant, complex, bloated, and unnecessary 'sugar' poured over the old school sugar cookie. We never needed 99 percent of the bloated features in web browsers, platforms, protocols, or DEs. These things consume inordinate amounts of time and mindshare to research, learn, and troubleshoot. These bloated computing buffets promote paradigms and agendas rather than work flow.
