Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).
@tg @brentsimmons FeedLand by @davew uses the River metaphor.

@gedeonm @Iconfactory wow, that looks amazing. Shame nothing like that exists on android that I have found.
@yulian @Iconfactory Thank you!

thanks chuck. it's amazing to me someone could say something like that but that's where we are, a time when people just believe there's nothing new.
https://feedland.com/ is the place to start.

@tg @brentsimmons Some mobile apps, like OpenVibe and Tapestry, also stitch RSS feeds into the social stream alongside Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon posts. Also essentially the River metaphor.

@davew @cagrimmett @brentsimmons it's amazing that someone didn't know about something someone made on the internet?

@tg @brentsimmons I built a feed reader called Stream that gives you a river of news view. That’s it. No list of blogs. Just a stream of news with a detail view when you select a row. It’s iOS only at the moment but it is coming for Mac.

@tg A beautifully put together and presented essay. I have been playing with Reeders new look and Tapestry on Mac's and iOS. It feels easier on me, in that the anxiety drops off as the numbers disappear. I go back to the more familiar layout, and I lean towards the free flow…miss some…that's OK.
I'd be interested to see/test/try/learn more of what you are building.

@ctt thank you kindly for the offer! Soon!

@cptpudding I’m sorry. I need to get signed up to a special Apple program that will let me list things in the EU App Stores. 😔

@fahrni Yes, the classic EU debate. I didn’t think you’d deliberately excluded us but I liked the app idea.

@cptpudding I’ve applied to the program but Apple kicked it back to me asking for more information and I’ve been dragging my feet.

@tg love this essay (including the presentation)!
As a lover of RSS to acquire and consume news, I’m definitely interested in what you are looking to build.
I’ve been a Reeder app user for years and love the clean styling. It does seem as though @rizzi may have had similar ideas as his redesigned Reeder. omits most feed counts and even includes options to hide the single count of newer items above your position in the timeline.

@mayo @cagrimmett @tg @brentsimmons
could you post a screen shot of what you're looking at? i have a feeling you're describing a different product. ;-)

Come comico indubbiamente un fuoriclasse. Come persona probabilmente meno, anche se aver creato Telethon è un bonus a suo favore (qui citavo la reunion con #DeanMartin avvenuta in quell'occasione https://mastodon.uno/@fucinafibonacci/115779836904620380). Ma anche come attore aveva il suo perché. #JerryLewis nasceva 100 anni fa. Re per una notte (1983) - TokyVideo https://www.tokyvideo.com/it/video/re-per-una-notte-1983

Benvenuto Peter, speriamo che te ne torni a casa in fretta... e magari freddo.

@nethack if you click the "freebsd" tag, you'll find many blog posts about how to do things with FreeBSD (and benchmarks, etc.)

Voglio che sappiate le motivazioni principali:
Paypal è statunitense
Paypal è di Thiel
Thiel è quello di Palantir

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe you are encouraged to continue expanding on your thoughts. it'd be cool if you shared more tips or interesting facts about the OS as well. im ready for anything, but id like to know more from a veteran perspective such as yours.

@mau @aitech la domanda, per l'umano, nasce sempre da un modo di sentirsi vivere in un mondo quando i profili di mondo che incontra suscitano sorpresa, spaesamento, curiosità... Un fenomeno estraneo a una macchina che, in quanto tale, non ha né mondo né contesto.
La domanda "come mai la mela cade da un albero?" me la faccio perché ho una precompressione pratica e vissuta di cosa significa stare vicino, sopra o sotto un albero, da solo o con altri... A partire da quella domanda, se allestisco un esperimento per trovare una risposta non è l'apparato sperimentale che mi fornisce una risposta ma il mio modo di riflettere sulle eventuali invarianze che il dispositivo allestito mi restituisce.
Esiste una interessante ricerca che mostra come la rimozione delle virgolette, un tempo impiegate nella ricerca sulla IA dai primi ricercatori quando parlavano di "intelligenza" o "apprendimento" ecc..., sia stata una precisa operazione di manipolazione che con la ricerca non aveva nulla a che vedere.
Secondo me è importante, quando scriviamo su un social o generiamo testi destinati a non esperti, che ci si sforzi di non dare per scontati significati nei termini che usiamo e se possibile usare le virgolette in riferimento a termini che pertengono l'umano.
Non sarebbe male tenere sempre presente che, nonostante la fascinazione costruita dalle narrative, quando interagiamo con un calcolatore stiamo interagendo con un insieme di porte logiche gestite dall'algebra di Boole, cioè con dei meccanismi come quelli in figura.
