I find it such a weird meme that RSS/Atom is dead. Literally every blogging platform has RSS/Atom support. Not just the "indie" ones, even the big corporate ones, like Substack and Medium. Every mastodon account has a built-in RSS feed. Every Bluesky account has a built-in RSS feed. Almost every major news site has an RSS or Atom feed. WordPress automatically produces RSS feeds (and WordPress powers almost half the Web).

RSS and Atom are almost certainly even more ubiquitous than they were in the 2000s, if only because the web has gotten so much bigger than it was back then.

There are more podcasts now than there ever have been, and each of these has an RSS feed.

Every fucking YouTube channel has an RSS feed. In 2005 there were probably fewer than 20 million blogs. Right now there are more than a hundred million YouTube channels.

RSS/Atom is bigger than ever.

I remember being taught the basics of cars and engines in elementary school science class, maybe in 5th grade? The book we used must've been written in the 1970s, because its default car had a carbureted V8 engine and rear-wheel drive, and it presented rotary/Wankel engines as a new development. Our teacher was amused that some of the then-current econoboxes like the Geo Metro had a 3-cylinder engine.
