It depends. If there is any money on the line or don't want to burn bridges then I'd do the smart thing, whatever that is. Otherwise I'd just skip it.

Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

I cannot stand google news any more, too much spam, clickbait and advertisement. So I decided to try to selfhost an RSS aggregator to make myself a news feed that I would be comfortable with. Being RSS such an "ancient" thing I thought there will be many mature systems, but I'm not sure that's the case.....

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You'll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I've been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

[Humor] A song about the Emacs Philosophy ( www.extrema.is )

A close friend of mine was "inspired" to write a song by my series of blog articles called "Emacs Fulfills the Unix Philosophy" (actually I think he is busting my chops a bit for being an annoying Emacs evangelist, but anyway...) I thought it was pretty funny and worth sharing here....

I enjoyed reading the posts but if I try to take it seriously I can't buy it. The argument stretches "Unix philosophy" so far that Lisp systems end up being a better fit for it than Unix itself. To me that just makes the whole thing lose meaning.

Emacs doesn't particularly fit the Unix philosophy and that's fine! Emacs is a modern day Lisp machine that does an excellent job at integrating with Unix-like systems. It's best to embrace and love it for what it is.

I will go further and say that no GUI or TUI application fits into the Unix philosophy. This includes almost all text editors. I don't consider Vim to be a better fit than Emacs and even vanilla vi is a major stretch unless you only run it in ex mode. The only text editor that more or less fits is ed.

Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in ( www.engadget.com )

If you're in the US, you might see a new shaded section at the top of your Google Search results with a summary answering your inquiry, along with links for more information. That section, generated by Google's generative AI technology, used to appear only if you've opted into the Search Generative Experience(SGE) in the Search...

I wish that was the case but sadly most of them are basically Bing or Google frontends or belong to entities that I trust even less. As far as I can tell there are very few independent crawls out there.

donio ,

SearXNG is great at what it does but it falls into the Bing/Google/etc-frontend category since it just forwards your query to one of the search engines it has modules for. It doesn't have its own crawl and index.

I am only a casual user of it but pass.el works for me. This is for the original pass but since gopass is highly compatible it seems to work for that too. It uses password-store.el under the hood so you'd do something like (setq password-store-executable "/path/to/gopass") to point it at the right executable.

donio ,

I don't use that but looking at the source it looks like it's accessing the password store directly by reading the gpg files so I'd expect it to work the same regardless of the pass implementation used.

donio ,

How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds.
Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!
