From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

RSS. It's still around but slowly dying out. I feel like it only gets added to new websites because the programmers like it.

How so? Outside very niche stuff or podcasts I just don’t seem to it used that often.

Most websites still use standard back ends with RSS support. Even static site generators also do it. The only difficulty is user discovery.

Yeah… It always being there hardly makes it a “renaissance”, no?
