| schestowitz-TR | I really need to find a better way, but this reminded me of twitter | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. before I started ignoring it ("write-only") | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a sea of fast-changing topics and noise | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost desighed to not just overwhelm the brain but also provoke | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was getting really bad some years ago when they curated instead of letting the feeds and stuff work | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | in a neutral way based on who or what you actually "followed" | Dec 01 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | i'm going to finish links around 9am, then feeds again, then videos | Dec 01 07:59 |

| Techrightssec | Rob Braxman's most recent video toed the m$ line to a certain extent. | Dec 01 08:25 |
| Techrightssec | While in some way's knuckling under like that may seem "pragmatic" on the | Dec 01 08:25 |
| Techrightssec | surface, it is 1) wasting your time with m$ junk, methods, and quirks and | Dec 01 08:25 |
| Techrightssec | 2) limiting your future options by 2a) not spending time learning real methods | Dec 01 08:25 |

| Techrightssec | the latter seems still on topic but has not published in nearly a month | Dec 01 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I follow both, IIRC | Dec 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | we might need to 'hunt' for more RSS feeds | Dec 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | some exist that we don't know about but not many are active | Dec 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | some are not worth adding because you might get one iterm in 3 years | Dec 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | or nothing since 3 years ago | Dec 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you are wasting bandwidth at both ends | Dec 01 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | True, but I've been keeping some around anyway on the off chance that | Dec 01 08:56 |
| Techrightssec | they do publish again. They don't take space in the compact view and that | Dec 01 08:56 |
| Techrightssec | is the important thing. Otherwise it would be too inconvenient to wade past | Dec 01 08:56 |

| Techrightssec | In the condenast one, perhaps a few words about how the editorial choices are | Dec 01 13:09 |
