  • Oh cool, didn't know Piefed supported Emoji reactions!

    That's fair that you don't want to see it.

  • Just noticed these starting to pop up. My life did not need more emojis in it.

    A lot of people made new years resolutions about using social media less. So now we have an optional daily time limit! It's in https://piefed.social/user/settings. Bear in mind that it only counts time spent with a PieFed tab in the foreground - when you switch to another tab on another website to read a news article the timer stops. So you might need to set this lower than you think for it to be effective.

    One nice thing about the fediverse is we don't need to optimize for addiction and try to keep you here longer than you want to.

    The warning pops up with every page load so just clicking through it once won't work. It's for your own good!

  • I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful.

    We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org.

    There's no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we're right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water's fine!

  • Happy to take a look in the AM, it's nearly midnight here. I'm confident I'll be able to figure out why NodeBB can't load your emoji at least.

    As for mine, the emoji itself is transmitted with the activity. It's just how Mastodon does it so I mimicked their implementation.

  • On the PieFed side, : frowning : is not being converted because PF ignores the tag entirely and relies on daily polling of lemmy/api/v3/site to get lists of emojis, which is a bit crap for NodeBB. More work needed!

    I've got a few #RSS feeds that are mostly about images, e.g. some tumblrs or photoblogs. Are there any good readers that give me this in a gallery presentation, with more than one image at once? Any suggestion is okay, applications, services, hacks, three shell scripts in a trench coat…

    #RSS question! My favourite band only post on instagram. Is there a way to turn their IG posts into an #RSSfeed I can follow on my feed reader? I came across rss.app which seems to offer this but as I only need to create this one feed I am hoping there might be a cheaper (or ever free) solution.Thank you!

    In today's video I chat about using Newsboat RSS reader with the Lynx command-line browser. Bread on Penguins' channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BreadOnPenguins A minimalist workflow: My desktop setup is built around i3, and everything I do is handled by simple scripts and terminal tools. There’s no taskbar, no desktop icons, and no visual clutter. My email runs in aerc, my RSS feeds in Newsboat, and my web browsing in Lynx. Everything is fast, predictable, and distraction-free. When I open Newsboat, it immediately loads my RSS subscriptions, a mix of Linux blogs, news sites, and personal journals from friends. It’s not the neatest list in the world (I really should organise it one day), but it gives me exactly what I want, information without noise. Unlike some feed readers that throw everything into one endless list, Newsboat groups feeds cleanly by source. That matters because some sites post dozens of articles a day while others might only update once a month. Separating them lets the quieter voices, personal blogs or smaller projects, actually be seen. Organising information: Newsboat’s tagging system is one of its best features. I’ve got tags for friends, games, news sources, politics, podcasts, and more. One of my favourite feeds is “TheyWorkForYou”, an RSS service that updates whenever UK MPs speak in Parliament. I highly recommend it for anyone in the UK. It’s an easy way to see what your representatives are actually doing, and I think it’s good for democracy to stay informed like that. Some of my other feeds include Boiling Steam, GamingOnLinux, FreeGamer, and a handful of personal blogs like Ghosty’s and Drew’s. Newsboat makes it easy to jump between them depending on what I’m in the mood for, Linux, games, or just something thoughtful to read with coffee. Why I browse with Lynx: When I want to read a full article from an RSS feed, I usually open it directly in Lynx. It’s a text-based browser that runs right inside the terminal. For most of the content I care about, blogs, reviews, essays, or news articles, Lynx is perfect. It loads instantly, displays cleanly, and keeps me focused on the text instead of ads, autoplay videos, or pop-ups. Sure, modern websites are built like web apps now, but that’s exactly why Lynx is such a breath of fresh air. It strips the web back to what it was meant to be: information, text, and ideas. For sites that really need a full browser (say, something JavaScript-heavy), I’ve got Firefox set as an alternative, but honestly, that’s rare these days. I experimented with Dillo too, another lightweight option, but Lynx fits more naturally into Newsboat. I can just press a key to open any article right where I am, no switching windows or leaving the terminal. Page Up, Page Down, and I’m reading. It’s fast, simple, and reliable. The beauty of plain text: All of this ties into what I’ve been loving about working in the terminal again: everything is plain text. Config files, notes, RSS lists, scripts, it’s all just text. That makes it transparent, portable, and easy to automate. For example, Newsboat’s feeds are stored in a single plain text file. If I want to back them up or edit them, I just open the file in Vim. If I want to tweak the configuration, it’s one small text file with a couple of commented-out lines for the browsers I’ve tried. That’s also the philosophy behind how I manage my dotfiles and scripts. I used to use GNU Stow for symlinks, but I’ve replaced it with a few simple bash scripts of my own. Same with address books, why use a complex app when a CSV or tab-separated file does the job perfectly? The more I build my own little tools, the more I enjoy the workflow. It’s like rediscovering the old Unix philosophy: simple tools that do one job well. Where it’s all going: I’ve been spending more time writing lately, both on my blog and in text posts across platforms like the Fediverse and PeerTube. You can find everything at chriswales.wales, which links to all my current projects, podcasts, and social channels. If you’re curious about minimalist computing, or want to see what life looks like when you move away from 'apps' and back into 'tools', I’ll be writing more about this approach, from plain-text note-taking to terminal calendars and to-do lists. And if you’re just starting to tinker with RSS, I can’t recommend Newsboat enough. Pair it with Lynx, and you’ve got a distraction-free reading environment that’s faster, cleaner, and infinitely more satisfying than the modern web.
