@cabel This is one of our favorite places in Oregon! And, yes, the sound of the tide on gravel beaches like that is mesmerizing.

@ethanschoonover I'm glad to see that particular item is for today and not (yet?) held over from yesterday?

@catzilla @kboyd @tg @brentsimmons That being said, I think it is great that someone asked the question of "why is it like this?" and spurred some thought and some interesting conversations. There are clearly some other approaches that are going to work better for people who approach this type of consumption in different ways.

@catzilla @kboyd @tg @brentsimmons There are aspects of this I think I still sort of disagree with: going back to your example of a newspaper, if you really didn't get rid of it until you'd read everything in it, pretty soon you have a very large physical pile of old newspapers. There was a physical obligation to get rid of them, or your house (like my great aunts') filled up. That feels like a more significant obligation to me than a keystroke (mark all read) to accomplish the analogous task.

If something jogs a memory of something I skipped over that I want to go back and read, I go back and find it and read it (like digging the paper out of the recycle bin and finding the article but faster and less messy).

I never felt any obligation to read every article in a newspaper I paid to receive and I definitely don’t feel any pressure to read every article from every feed I subscribe to. Skim, read what I want, then a single click or keystroke and I’m done. (2/2)

@catzilla @tg @brentsimmons I think I use my RSS reader (NetNewsWire) differently and more like I used to use printed newspapers. I skim the titles (headlines), read the articles that interest me, maybe flag one or two to read later (kind of analogous to clipping an article from the paper to read later), mark everything read (analogous to putting paper in the recycle bin), and I’m done. (1/2)

@brunoscheele @chockenberry @atpfm @marcoarment Your hope is very generous but everything seen so far would indicate they (Apple) do not have "proper internal tools", I think.

Perfect! Thanks.

@ttscoff Hey, quick question: if we are already in the Marked 3 TestFlight, do we need to join the beta or are we automatically enrolled?
