these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

idk, i wonder if youtube could even work if you always had to be logged in. when i imagine what most of youtube’s activity is, i think of the foreign music videos with billions of views. could their ad model with those kinds of numbers possibly work if they put account auth barriers in front of it? how many hotel lobbies, barber shops, etc are playing youtube on loop logged out worldwide? netflix level drm would radically change the platform.

rss is working on the instance i’m using. make sure you’re on a recently updated one

• Reeder for RSS (connected to FreshRSS)
• Overcast for podcasts
• Linkthing for reading list/saved links (connected to linkding)
• Bookplayer for audiobooks (can airdrop a folder of audio files to ingest)
• MyNetDiary for diet tracking
• WebSSH for ssh client
• Infuse for all things video (connected to Jellyfin)
• FE File Explorer for connecting to SMB shares
• Bitwarden for passwords
• DailyArt widget for nice art on home screen
• Shockwave to kill Google amp

i finally remembered the other service that supports app store updates. scroll to Apple App Store here: https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/

RSS, basically. for software with github releases, there’s an RSS feed for release feeds by appending .atom to the releases page, like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases.atom

check out nitter.net for twitter RSS, has been going strong through API changes. also since you mentioned Apple stuff, it’s not per small update but they publish major stuff on the Newsroom feed which has an RSS feed: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/rss-feed.rss
