I have literally never thought about it like this, but I think you are right. In my mind mobile phones were always separate from other devices, kinda like consoles.

Right. Consoles shouldn't be doing it either, but here we are...

Oh, thanks for the hint! I might be able to remove some code from my feed detection code (on pipes) then.

But on a first glance, it seems like alternate links for channels are back, but playlists are missing. Still, that might be a step forward.

I think openrss.org has YouTube playlist feeds

This is the kinda website I’d love to subscribe and follow. Unfortunately, this is the only article for now. And it has no RSS (neither Newsletter).

It does have an RSS feed at https://explainers.blog/feed.xml

Hi, I'm interested in what's next from your blog. It would be really nice if you'd include an RSS feed in it.

Looks like there's an RSS feed at https://explainers.blog/feed.xml

This blog seems promising; I just wished it had an RSS feed so I could see when new articles come out.

Dead Comment

Having JSDoc-like syntax isn't the same as it being fully supported. If you have a large enough codebase, you'll likely find a few cases where things work in TypeScript but its equivalent somehow fails type check in JSDoc.

You keep repeating this throughout the thread. Can you give an example?

trekz commented on State of RSS Survey 2025   stateofrss.com/2025... · Posted by u/not--felix

Sorry but this is a pointless survey. Not sure how one could determine whether RSS is alive when it already is.

The other problem is that the responses will be skewed depending on where you choose to advertise this survey and who's more passionate about taking it. Posting it here would likely trigger responses from those more inclined to say "rss is not dead", since that's what the overwhelming sentiment is here.

I can only conclude that you likely already know the survey is pointless, but it's being used to advertise for your RSS reader (you plug that in on multiple places on the site). You'd probably be better off just advertising your RSS reader instead.

(1) Some people read from the bottom up

(2) I really am mad at Rachel for this and that's from someone who's been writing webcrawlers [1] since 1998, been an RSS innovator, and been responsible for complex systems when they fail.

(3) Maybe I am missing it but I don't see an actual feed for that URL, I see only an OPML file. Dave is really gay [2] for OPML files but I'm not because I still have to work to fetch all the items. Yet, visually the OPML file and blogroll look like a planet and you're not the first person who's pointed Dave's blogroll as a solution as opposed to the problem that I see it is.

(4) Looking at the head of the list I think "Daily Kos" and "404 Media" suck but that I already subscribe to many of them like "Arstechica" -- looking at the tail of the list I see there are gems that I'm not getting. If those things were getting aggregated topically it would please both me and Rachel.

[1] that don't crash your server

[2] in a good sense!

Don't know what you're so angry with Rachel about. I provide feeds for readers and many of them are way too greedy and frequently do hammer websites, often unneccessarily. Mix in all the rampant AI bots and you got a recipe for an extremely expensive server bill.

Getting angry at someone who's trying to keep their server costs down to provide you something for free is kind of weird.

What about content negotiation [1] based on the Accept header? If the client indicates a preference for HTML you could send it the human-readable page and otherwise you send the RSS feed. Wouldn't that work?

trekz · 7 months ago
It can be done but it's not practical because most RSS readers don't even send an Accept header at all, let alone one with an XML mime type.
