Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.

I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.

They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what's happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.

They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com

Good god! That was a good laugh 😂. Desperate to advertise to people who don't want to be advertised to. Exploiting activity history of anonymous users? Uh... that's the whole reason people post anonymously. Because they don't want to be associated with their activity. How exactly is this a good strategy, again?

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

By community, do you mean just this particular Lemmy community or the community on Lemmy collectively? If the latter, there are other alternative Lemmy communities on other instances that may be better suited for you.

Just would hate to see someone leave Lemmy over toxic energy in one place. There's a big world here in fediverse!

Same here! I use nothing but RSS feeds for everything. I even use them to keep up with new arrivals on sites I shop on. They're 🔥

Yeah, I misunderstood. Maybe RSS feeds probably aren't a good solution for replies in an individual nested thread within a post.

I can see that becoming chaotic to manage after subscribing to a handful of threads, all in separate RSS feeds. You'd be constantly subscribing and unsubscribing to deal with all the potential noise 😬

Left a comment to another user in this feed. Do you use RSS feeds at all? If so, you can use that to get notifications. But if you don't use RSS feeds for sites, probably not worth it.

[–] mark@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

You can if you use RSS feeds. For instance an RSS feed for the threads in this post is at https://openrss.org/beehaw.org/post/15660443.

This is great news! Weird that I'm subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn't notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

Ah ok. I use the acme.sh script. It's a pretty neat tool. Glad you got it all working again!

I've had this same problem in the past with a couple of packages. What did you end up moving to?
