        I’m hosting a dockerized image of freshrss on my server which I can access as a webapp on my phone.

        I believe there are plenty of phone apps and websites that can do the same! :) I would search rss app in the App Store. If they’re FOSS I would consider that better.

        Can add feeds for anything! I have news, YouTube, podcasts, Lenny, and some reddit

        I have a really comprehensive list of RSS feeds for different topic. That I have been updating and pruning since 2010, I use Read You on Android and a GNOME Circle app on Linux (can’t recall the name tbh)

        Download NetNewsWire. If you need it to sync with a windows machine and/or an android device, store your feeds in Feedly or a similar service. Learn to set your RSS reader to default to “reader mode” so you see the whole story and not just the first paragraph.

    Oh fuck it’s spreading. I hadn’t seen this pattern before until I started using LinkedIn for job hunting (it’s what Australia uses, trust me I’m more unhappy than you are lol). We won’t show you this job again.…until the next time you’re on this page again, which you’ll need to check every day because despite sorting by date we’re still gonna shuffle jobs you haven’t seen yet inside a dozen pages of jobs you’ve already seen. I assume it drives “engagement” or some bullshit, hooray for monopolies! 😡

    Had to make a fucking uBO rule www.linkedin.com##li:has-text(/show you this job again./)

    Apple News is one of the most poorly managed of all the Apple products. Whomever is in charge of it should be fired.

      I wish they’d let me block entire topics, though. I don’t ever want a horoscope but it puts that shit in front of me every single day.

        Interesting. I mindlessly swipe over to the news feed on my Pixel more than I’d like to admit, and it only gives me horoscope type stuff very rarely… Definitely not frequently enough for me to bother trying to block it. I wonder why you’re seeing so much more of it?

          I’m using the Google news webpage, without fail it shows me horoscopes and sports every day no matter how many times I tell it that I’m not interested.

            Ahh, going to the Google news webpage on my phone does give me quite different results compared to when I swipe left from my phone’s home screen.

        When someone you block types a message, you get a “message blocked” message instead, with a link to show the message. You can’t actually block someone on Discord.

          That sucks. If I block you I expect to cut you off completely. You shouldn’t be able to see me or interact with me. I shouldn’t exist anymore as far as you can tell. Otherwise what’s the point?

          I find this useful, personally, but I would like to see an additional “block and hide.”

    Disclaimer: I don’t use News+. This is just what I think I remember from some podcast episode a while ago.

    IIrc: it only does this for the Top Stories feed which is a handful of stories handpicked by Apple. It would be weird if your Top Stories was super short or completely blank because you happened to block all the right sources. Your regular feed should be filtered.

      Thing is though, There’s plenty of sources I haven’t blocked. It’s basically just the Daily Mail and a shitty red-top, so I can’t believe they only curate the sources that I’ve blocked. In which case the feed should consist of headlines from the other huge array of other news sources.

    I blocked ESPN news articles just because I don’t want to see sports content. Does the same thing. They need to fix this stupid shit.

    On the other hand, I’m willing to pay for aggregated news to gain access to articles from the likes of The Atlantic, etc. Anyone have alternatives to Apple News+ in this regard?

    Yes this truly is the weakest bullshit I’ve ever seen. Obviously, it’s just in-client blocking with zero support from the back end. Pathetic.

    oh no, linekar is leaving motd? first wrighty, now him?

    i don’t think shearer and micah can pull it off themselves going forward. they’re both good but, let’s face it, neither has the gravitas needed to anchor the show.
