Yep, true. Although it's taking way too long for it to die!!
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
It was, 20 years ago.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Yep, me too!! However I've already stopped with the Google stuff so my opinion doesn't matter much.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Well either that, or never use Google again. You could also start using ad blockers and such things to avoid those web pages.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Yeah maybe rss.app will make one too. I mean Thus continues the removal of Google from my life.

Google news wil do RSS. It's kind of like an alert or a search, but it does it. For instance:

Happens a lot these days, unfortunately.

I still use Reddit. I like to comment on things etc. I just keep a whole bunch of feeds, with a whole bunch of items in Miniflux. In other words, I have a nice archive going.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Um... who does that???
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
I've always heard it as "rich site summary," which was back in the early 2000s.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Hmm, guess you found the one place it doesn't work.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Love the Miniflux!! Although I think I pulled something after this latest release lol.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Yes but it keeps going down, and having strange 404s randomly. If this keeps happening, they'll probably just give it the shuv one day.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
Yeah evil. Definitely agree!!
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Google Groups kills RSS support without notice
groups.io still supports them. Yes Google is stupid!!!

They may want to look into using a screen reader to avoid eye strain, or headaches depending on what their condition is. Everything has one built-in at this point.
Windows has Narrator, the Mac and iPhone both have VoiceOver, and Android uses Talkback. For something extra, and more advanced, I definitely recommend NVDA.

What people who use TTS on a regular basis usually want is something that gets the job done quickly. This is why natural-sounding TTS isn't generally a good thing.
That being said, there are some people who like it. I'm definitely not one of those people.

Also, if you don't do anything with it afterwards, what kind of claims does anyone have?

Well just download NVDA, and run it through you're RSS reader. It will read RSS feeds for you. I don't think that's what you're getting at, but it will do that, just as it does other things.
