That is very true. This page is a good starting point: https://github.com/plenaryapp/awesome-rss-feeds. It has some interesting feeds, but it is very hard to find things “in the wild” now.

its trying its best.

I am in a similar situation. I did just start using RSS and that has been interesting. Nice to get everything in one spot, with no ads, and it’s specifically what I’m interested in.

good to know, thank you.

I love Audiobookshelf for audiobooks, didn’t realize it supported podcasts as well. I will have to look into that, thanks!

I don’t know that you can do it without an extension, however Mozilla has put out an extension called “Firefox Translations” that translates webpages locally on your computer with a downloaded dictionary. So far it works well in my experience, though I don’t know any other languages, so I can’t really speak to its accuracy. That being said, so far I haven’t come across any nonsensical translations.

I switched because Microsoft just keeps getting worse and worse, and I like having complete control over my system. And limiting the amount of my data going out.

Linux in general uses much less system resources than windows, and I like being able to easily change my workflow (desktop environment, window manager, etc).
