A small collection of English sources to keep it international:
(Obligatory) XKCD - get all new xkcd comics right into your feed reader
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Geeky, fun webcomic about science and other stuff
Pluralistic.net Cory Doctorows Daily commented link dumps (and rants). Usually about enshittification of services/industries
Buried Treasure Blog about Indie PC games that are real gems but don't get much coverage elsewhere but are high quality.
NOYB - None of your business. An Austrian NGO that fights companies so that they conform to the GDPR (more interesting if you're from the EU)
Google Project Zero Blog Deep dive into some exploits and bugs. Very technical.
Mine are:
Quanta Magazine super interesting and awesomely written articles about scientific topics.
LessWrong blog posts on a variety of topics analyzed with rationality.
Big Think articles about everything, interesting analyses.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you
I love a good weblog, so https://www.metafilter.com/, https://www.thingsmagazine.net, and http://www.newshelton.com/wet/dry.
I also love me a good quotes blog, so http://whiskeyriver.blogspot.com/?m=1
I'm thinking of making a RSS feed generator tool and aggregator that would support OAuth for subscription based services. Just doing some research first.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Lucid blog, about fascism, and Patricia Roberts-Miller's blog, about the rhetoric of demagoguery.
YouTube and PeerTube feeds. No need for an account. No toxic algorithm (or at least much less).
It even has a couple unique benefits:
- seamless integration of various video sites
- sort channels into different folders (news/tech/memes/different special interests)
- everything synchronized between all your devices (depends on your client, I use Nextcloud News)
- you can use siftrss to block #shorts or something like that
- News feeds for my country/state
Google feeds search queries have an rss feed option
I also follow some topics from The Hindu and The Guardian.
I follow another local website that does not provide rss feeds using rss-bridge:
https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge - Feeds for updates of Jerboa, Pipepipe etc.
https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases.atom
https://codeberg.org/NullPointerException/PipePipe/releases.rss
It can be used to follow other repo's too. - Lemmy communities
Word of the day(is currently sort-of inactive):
https://lemmy.world/feeds/c/wotd.xml? - Fdroid updates using the subreddit
Should I share the link?
The RSS radar extension has helped me find some rss feeds in random places. Maybe useful if you're looking for rss feeds in the websites you use.
Which are your favorite rss feeds?
I follow this week in fdroid and this week in matrix, as well as the kiwix blog.
