No one. It psychologically makes me feel guilty if I can't keep up. I'd weirdly rather have an email and ignore or read it than pull rss and not read for ages. Funny enough the only time I used rss was when I had that cool outlook integration that made them seem like emails.

i think thunderbird has an rss reader, though i've not tried it

I love the idea of a minimal desktop environment, but I've never tried XFCE. Are there any themes that folks here would recommend to make it much prettier? I find the screenshots on their homepage very intuitive but a bit ugly.

it's a lot to go through, but this is a great resource

Yeah, I think it might be a driver thing (or driver interaction with XFCE code).

After ~10 years of using XFCE, I recently for the first time encountered flickering, after an NVidia driver update. I disabled compositing and it went away. Still happy, but clearly something broke there. Pretty sure someone's trying to fix it, somewhere.

Does anyone else like to change the font on news articles using Inspect Element?

Also in Word etc, if I've got to spend a lot of time in a large document, I'll usually edit the paragraph body style temporarily to something sans serif. It's just better on screen.
