#news aggregator

[minimalistdigitalism]

I deleted my Twitter account two years ago, and I forget the platform exists. I guess that says a lot about how important it is...😂

Now I get my news from reading news websites, and I recently made an account on Flipboard, which is a news aggregator website that has social features such as being able to like and comment on posts. I've been having a lot of fun with it and it's not nearly as stressful as my experience using Twitter.

Netvibes

I've totally forgotten about Netvibes and how awesome it is. In attempting to return to how my life used to be, feedburner is in the naughty corner, and I've rediscovered Netvibes, and truly appreciate how straightforward and simple it is, with all the customizability of it. Definitely underappreciated and underrated, in my book. Worth checking out if you want to keep up with all your blogs and news sources (and then some, to include lite apps + social media). I'm glad they're still around.

It's like your own custom newspaper that's delivered to you whenever you ring for it. Fantabulous ♥

The University of Silesia has once again awarded me a scholarship for a research trip. Firstly I traveled to Berlin and met amazing musicians such as Maciej Śledziecki, Marcin Pietruszewski and Francesco Corvi. On Rave Fm Youtube channel you can easily find vlogs and thoughts and insights on Algomystica and Aggregate Festival!!! Also some interviews about experimental electronic music will soon see the sunlight.

But this time, I will attend the International Conference on Live Coding 2025 in Barcelona ❤. I plan to actively engage with the discussions and insights shared at the conference, preparing myself to contribute as a speaker next year. The Recruitment Committee has granted me funding within the project "jUŚt transition – The Potential of the University of Silesia as the Foundation for a Just Transition of the Region." Thank you so much. Love my uni, and my supervisor Prof. Ania Malinowska ❤

So happy, and check International Conference on Live Coding and what they do!

The best way I can explain it is this: If you’re modestly “woke” but aren’t deeply immersed in social justice politics, participating in popular culture has been the equivalent of being a Catholic at a decade-long Protestant Evangelical revival. Even if you agree on 90% of Christian doctrine, the constant bombardment with messages that emphasize the 10% disagreement is extremely off-putting.  What I think is important to acknowledge is that it’s easy to say, “Hey, just lay off the proselytization/damning people who agree with you on 90% of the issues.” But for evangelicals, the doctrine is their core. It’s offensive to tell evangelicals to lighten up, because they view their identity as turning on fine points of doctrine.  The same is true for social justice warriors. Telling groups or individuals who feel marginalized to accept half a loaf is not only not an option for them, it is deeply offensive. I don’t know the answer. But that’s part of the problem.

your recent post about the homestuck fandom wanting the characters to remain perfectly ambiguous so they wouldn't trample anyone's headcanons reminded me of "taako mcelroy changes his skin colour every day" and i had a bit of a chuckle about it. so thanks for that

i had really almost forgotten that... homestuck fandom truly crawled out of the sea like amphibians so dungeons and dragons podcast enjoyers could spread their primitive wings and take to the skies

we are but a gentle sin, while you hold the gun against my mouth, while we play dolls in our sandhouse, does the burn remind you of me? sickly red hazes overcoming your greatest tragedies, I'd let you blow my brains out, but I'd also burn your skin right off yes we talk till dawn cracks over the kitchen counter, but it would remind you of a puppeteer and me of skinner's theories.

it's not worth getting into the details, but a complete stranger on threads managed to say something so deeply triggering and hurtful about my decision to start a family that I bawled my eyes out in real life, to the point that my partner thought I was like, about to die or something, so uh..... think I'm officially done with that algorithmic garbage fire...........

Dear Friends,

On November 29th-30th, the Aggregate, Electroacoustic Music Festival will take place in Berlin. This event merges tradition with electronic music, as through the use of MIDI, artists metaphorically awaken the spirit of the machine slumbering within the organ. Therefore, the festival features artists deeply connected to movements such as algorave—a type of event where the artist writes code in real-time, generating music—and electroacoustic traditions.

The festival’s approach to the relationship between musician and instrument is retro-futuristic, drawing from the ideas of electroacoustic avant-garde figures like Kotoński, Schaeffer, Varèse, Stockhausen, and many others. However, it raises new questions about how computer-controlled instrumental music, with its virtuosity, transcends the boundaries of perception in highly compressed musical events. It explores the intersections between electronic and acoustic music, objective interpretation, and the effects of mechanically precise performance.

how do you keep up with all these articles and websites? With twitter being down the shitter, and tumblr recycling month old posts, i havent been able to find a good central news source. I figured I could use RSS feeds, but these sites post SOOOO frequently that I find it overwhelming. any advice?

it's an eclectic process. I watch some TV news which gives me a heads up on things happening. So does dreamwidth and tumblr and friends with different areas of interests that will let me know about things happening in the areas they watch or in their countries. I also watch a couple of other progressive aggregators with sort of Venn diagram interest areas with mine. So some stuff over laps with things I already read, but there are more things I wouldn't have spotted on my own that are important and/or interesting. I also have a bunch of searches I do for longer running things, and things I'll do a random periodic search on to check in with ongoing situations that mostly fell out of the English language news cycle.

I started out doing history articles and archeology news, that sort of thing. Then there was a little commentary. Then Us politics went completely berserk and I ran out of time to properly read and post breaking news, let alone the things i still care about but are so much less world on fire. I try to squeeze some in at the edges never theless.

It helps that I read stupid fast with a high comprehension rate. also, I'm disabled and don't work, so I have time other people don't have, even working at whatever pace my body is up for that day. I can just go lie down if need to. I don't have to force myself to type much if my arm is completely fucked that day. Most people have a whole lot of time sucked into working and commuting. Most aggregators are working to some sort of schedule if only self imposed.

A lot of why my out put rate is so uneven from day to day is some days I am too busy or ill. Some days I do a ton of reading and prepping, but am too ill or tired or in pain and can't post much of it. The massive output Sunday evening was an example of the opposite thing, where I hadn't time to read, but I had a ton of links read and preorganized, so I could toss them onto the dreamwith scaffold and post them very fast at the same time on Tumblr, so I gnawed through some of my backlog pile.

(I post a sorted aggregate on dreamwidth once or twice a week at https://gwydion.dreamwidth.org/. Tumblr they mostly go up in batches).

I am doing this on the most basic level out of love. I love learning stuff, hence my origins over on livejournal before the Russians got it, sharing links to articles about cool things people dug up. I grew up in a political family. I've been watching politics since the Ford/Carter debates. I do care about the world. I want things to be better. I can't march. I can signal boost, and write, and share links, and call politicians to complain about stuff. It means a lot to me when people I don't know look at what I do and it helps them in some way.

I would be reading news regardless. I learned at the age of eight that when confronted with horrors, that for me personally, I do best if I study the enemy. This allowed me to work out how best to resist and survive. all these decades later, my survival strategy dishes up news links organized in anxiety friendly ways on dreamwidth, and in the more chaotic but blacklistable form here on tumblr. I'm anal retentive about news tagging to help the people who aren't here for that or who aren't up to staring directly into the void with me and drinking from the news fire hose. I never even expect my closest friends to read all my output, because my volume is rather excessive.

Don't feel bad if you aren't up to it, some days or weeks or months. My adaptation is wildly atypical and for most people this would be unhealthy.

If the news is too much, it's okay to take a mental health break. I do ask that you vote, because we need everyone, regardless of country to save the world. The news will still be there when you are up to it

Any aggregate has a bias, both selection, and the other kind. there are things i don't cover because I don't know they are happening or because there isn't time. There are a whole lot of other things that I don't or barely cover because they aren't good for me. it is so much harder to see absence than presence.

My best advice to you, is to find someone like me who gets a lot of the things you are interested in so you can at least skim headlines. More than one is better, but if you get stressed out by the output keep it simple. Find some news sites you trust or if you have a good local paper get a subscription. (I used to read the paper everyday, but my local paper is extra bad, so I'm all online now). Read articles on things that interest you. If you are up to it do some searches on topics important to you.

Whatever you do, never read or watch one news source exclusively. Every source has biases. If all that history training has taught me anything, it's that.

Remember that no one can read everything and that's okay.

I have no idea if this helps. I just stopped to read your note before bed, so I'm a bit rambly.

Melissa McCarthy on Playing a Con Artist in 'Identity Thief'

WRITER’S NOTE: This article was originally written in 2013. Ever since she first found recognition for her character of Sookie St. James on “Gilmore Girls,” Melissa McCarthy has left an indelible impression on us all.
