A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Any recommendations for a good RSS reader? I tend to trust end users opinions over Google searches these days.
I tried a few a while ago and my favorite is https://www.inoreader.com/ it's clean and intuitive enough to use, there are limits on the free version but I never felt I had to pay to have a decent experience, free is enough for me.
I have a Huginn cluster that monitors a couple of score of news sites and blogs, as well as searches Github for specific terms that I'm interested in.
Can you recommend a good rss reader app for iOS?
I've used inoreader in the past
My three main sources of news are SemanticScholar for research papers, Reddit (Now Lemmy) for short form content news, Youtube channels such as Fireship or Mental Outlaw for tech/privacy focused news. My colleagues who also use a lot of twitter for keeping up, help me keep up with some smaller things.
Just the classics: Slashdot, Lobsters, HN and a few specific software sites (the distro I use, the browser I use, etc.) via RSS. I also keep an eye on what people are sharing on Fosstodon because they tend to be quite techy.
Privacy-wise, I am pretty picky. There are a slew of resources that all come from the same group of people and the drama between them has turned me off from ever reading anything they deem worthy to write or share.
News websites tech sections via rss. Mainly epoch times, new york post, and one america news. I bet if i used some others like slashdot i would prob know about newer stuff sooner, but it keeps me updated. Though i honestly havent been keeping up to much lately because every damn story is "AI" this and "AI" that. Otherwise its "ChatGPT" this or "BARD" that. I am absolutely not interested in closed source AI
I run everything I can through FreshRSS and for those that I do not have time to read I add the links to ArchiveBox just in case they disappear (they sometimes do).
