With the only difference being that bookshelves are usually constructed using only one’s favorite books, while I think an RSS reader should be designed for “exposure to other” as well.Just as with any hobby, the effort adds meaning to the output.The point is that curation of an RSS reader forces one to think about their inputs, and to exercise their values in doing so. What about people you can’t stand at all?What you choose to include will not just define how you see the world, but how well you understand other peoples’ perspectives as well.So I challenge you.Then, as the most important step, stop visiting the New York Times, CNN, Reddit, Hacker News, Lobsters, and every other site you rotate through all day.Feedly also uses AI to highlight critical sections of the article.Instead, just open your reader and get the content from there.A story within FeedlyNot only will this reduce your anxiety and churn from constantly opening and closing various sites, but RSS also shows the content in a standard format, with less to distract you.If you add .rss to the end of any Reddit URL you get its RSS feed.Remember, you don’t have to give anything up. :: LEARN MORE ►   CONTACT THE AUTHOR 📧 Every Sunday I send my favorite stories about security, technology, and humans to around 30,000 people.Discuss on TwitterDiscuss on RedditDiscuss on Hacker NewsContact the AuthorColophonPrivacyShare© Daniel Miessler 1999-2020I spend 5-20 hours a week devouring books, RSS feeds, podcasts, and articles about what's happening—and what's coming—in security and technology.
