A small collection of English sources to keep it international:

(Obligatory) XKCD - get all new xkcd comics right into your feed reader

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Geeky, fun webcomic about science and other stuff

Pluralistic.net Cory Doctorows Daily commented link dumps (and rants). Usually about enshittification of services/industries

Buried Treasure Blog about Indie PC games that are real gems but don't get much coverage elsewhere but are high quality.

NOYB - None of your business. An Austrian NGO that fights companies so that they conform to the GDPR (more interesting if you're from the EU)

Google Project Zero Blog Deep dive into some exploits and bugs. Very technical.

I'm thinking of making a RSS feed generator tool and aggregator that would support OAuth for subscription based services. Just doing some research first.

FreshRSS supports HTTP authentication, and there's an open issue for adding OAuth support.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Lucid blog, about fascism, and Patricia Roberts-Miller's blog, about the rhetoric of demagoguery.

The RSS radar extension has helped me find some rss feeds in random places. Maybe useful if you're looking for rss feeds in the websites you use.

Which are your favorite rss feeds?

YouTube and PeerTube feeds. No need for an account. No toxic algorithm (or at least much less).

It even has a couple unique benefits:

  • seamless integration of various video sites
  • sort channels into different folders (news/tech/memes/different special interests)
  • everything synchronized between all your devices (depends on your client, I use Nextcloud News)
  • you can use siftrss to block #shorts or something like that
