evasive_chimpanzee, in What are some RSS feed clients that do not have a subscription

I use feeder (and apparently there’s more than one rss app called feeder), and it’s FOSS. I like it a lot. The one feature it doesn’t have is any filtering. I wish I could filter some feeds. My local news seems to be like 50% sports, and a lot of sites these days have half of the “articles” they put out just containing a list of Amazon affiliate links. It also doesn’t do audio of video, but I don’t use it for that

Usually I just use everynoise.com playlists to listen to specific genre

Feedly has an ad-sipported option.

Touching_Grass,

The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible

Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net

Not all subscriptions are bad though. Some features genuinely have a cost behind them. Inoreader has a feature that lets me create feeds for websites that don’t have an rss feed. To me, that’s worth the price.

Which platform? I use NetNewsWire on iOS.

PrincessLeiasCat,

That’s what I use, too. I am having a hard time finding good US/world news feeds though, the basics like NBC, CBS, etc. I’ve found some newspapers like WaPo, AP, NYT, etc, but some of the others like seriously haven’t updated their RSS pages since 2013 and they don’t really work anymore.

haukesomm,

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know that one!

I’ve set up my Spotify to tell Last.fm what songs I listen to (aka scrobble). Over time, Last.fm gets a pretty good idea of what songs you like, so when I wanna discover new songs, I go to Last.fm, ask it to play me a mix, and direct it to play the songs through my Spotify. I find that its recommendations are much better than what I get from using Spotify alone.

RecursiveParadox, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

Part of it would depend on whether or not it has, as required of all self propelled ships above a low threshold GRT, an AIS transceiver. If it’s got one, and it’s on, I can find the ship in seconds (access to multiple large terrestrial and satellite AIS systems at work).

But I guess if they never intend to go anywhere near Port State Control, they could just turn their AIS off. People do it all the time to violate sanctions, avoid pirates, etc.

Ok that’s a lot of info I wasn’t aware of. Thanks!!

So this ship doesn’t want to go to port so to remain as hidden as possible. I’m imagining smaller vessels would deliver supplies to the ship along its route. So any laws won’t be really an issue if no countries know about the ship.

macrocephalic, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I don’t seem to have this problem. I create playlists all the time and shuffle them. I never listen to artist radio and rarely use suggested songs. I find a lot of great music through Spotify and end up finding so many bands that I can’t listen to them all.

Shinzid, in How to combine sports and study?

I agree with the sentiment of the other posts - you’re over thinking it.

All martial arts come with an inherent risk of injury, some more than others but once you start, one of the fundamental things you learn is restraint and control. General sparring/training won’t be too rough on you unless you get an asshole partner or you’re still not prepared enough. If you’re afraid of taking blows to the head then look for one that’s less heavy on the head like grappling for example.

Try to find a physical hobby that you enjoy and improve yourself through that. Try out a couple different stuff and stick with one that resonates with you the most. Make some friends, expand your worldview, learn new things - you’ll get further in terms of strength and skill if you’re actually into whatever you’re doing.

Also, it doesn’t have to be a fighting sport. Any sport or physical activity will make you stronger. If fighting ability is what you’re after then go for it, but it’s not the only option.

My advice is that fighting isn’t the only thing when it comes to protecting your family. Physical/mental health, knowledge, finances, reliability, sociability; a lot of other things are important as well and deserve the time to be worked on.

On Android install InnerTune from F-Droid. Allows you to play Youtube Music for free and no ads.

brambledog,

I was using innertune and will go.back to it when I can convince my wife to stop paying for youtube, but I’m definitely not looking forward to going back to it.

Innertune had issues communicating with Bluetooth and would have loading issues when not on wi-fi.

Also, the app fully breaks and has to be redownloaded if you attempt to use a widget maker for it.
