As much as I feel I should donate to #TheGuardian, I see something like the following, and it's just too much for me:
"we place a pixel on our web pages that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a Guardian reader who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them".
Any recommendations for quality #news sites that don't go to such lengths?
@syntax I'm looking for something similar.
I'm trying to find a news agregator that's decentralised.
All I can think of other then "liking fanpages on FB" is Flipboard and Apple News… and both are centralised.
What I simply want is a good old RSS system and/or article scraping.
Is there any new incarnation of the RSS this days?
@vol Definitely. There's a Linux program called 'newsboat' which is a nice, simple CLI feed reader. Just add your feeds to a config file and you're ready to go. For mobile, I use 'Feeder', which is available through F-Droid.
@vol The only big paper I know of which has feeds is The Guardian. But there are probably more. Here are The Guardian's: https://blog.feedspot.com/theguardian_rss_feeds/ #rss #newspaper #news
@syntax are big news sites still provide RSS feeds? :O This is a game changer for me!
