Is it possible to display my "Subscriptions" screen from YT? That's the only thing I use to decide what's to watch next.


For that I'd suggest different approach: using FreeTube[1][2] client which carries subscriptions locally; you can export and import channels in FreeTube format, NewPipe and OPML. FreeTube uses invidious to fetch and play videos - among other two players; it's also possible to change the instance in case of any issues. Sadly, I can't tell if it's possible to import YT subscriptions since I don't use the service with Google account for years.

I think youtube subscriptions can be exported into opml and then import them into invidious


Also, what is registering for? Does it only save my preferences?


I believe registering also provides a non-google way of tracking subscriptions :)


I don't like to receive emails like that. I would be happy to subscribe to an RSS though. Is it available?

I noticed an RSS button in the sample issue. Will it work for all the future releases?


Yes, the RSS feed will be updated with new releases! :)


Cannot you add it as an alternative to email subscription?


I added it as a comment here, will consider including it in the /subscribe page on nordschool. Thanks for the feedback!


I understand that you may want to collect email addresses to use them later, it's up to you :) But then remove the RSS icon from the single issue page ;)


Not for google. They want to kill links.


Which would be ironic, given their whole business has been built on following links and keeping track of what links to what.


More accurately, they want to keep you in their garden. Not knowing it's happening would be advantageous for the goog.


What do they intend to replace them with?


Pretty sure it would still be links behind the scenes. The argument is only for user-facing links to „get simpler“ on the basis of links with tokens and whatnot being to complex and easy to get phished with. Don‘t forget, in Googles vision everyday users won‘t interact with keyboard/mouse or similar in the not too distant future. It‘s all Assistant and device-agnostic ambient computing.


As far as I know they have not proposed a replacement, only an intention to come up with one.


They've proposed the 'portal' element in the last month [0] to replace the link with something... Different... Haven't they?

Portal is moreso an alternative to iframes than an alternative to links. But it's true that it could very well make it more likely for a portal to another site to be included in a page rather than using a link.


They still use a link to source the embedded page as well, it's just that a portal is a bit more friendly with the host frame.


AOL Keywords


Bying ads from Google, only way to get traffic soon.


Wouldn't that just be another type of link?


That's why it's so strange. There isn't an alternative that isn't just a link with a different syntax, so why bother upending the internet for it? Things have worked pretty well for decades now, the whole point of writing a protocol is for long term usage in a changing world. So far so good!


Javascript!


It's the year 2067, all websites are now npm packages. If you want to view a website, you must require it into your browser's package.json.


Season 6 black mirror pitch idea right here


Wait what? What did I miss?



I have the same feeling. He proposed a very good changes and then started to mess up Code…


I think it highly depends on where you live. Although some rules are universal, many aspects rely on taxes and laws in your country/area.


That's a good point. There are enough financial bloggers out there that you should be able to find one in your country, which will be easier to understand.


Someone wrote it in a similar thread, I benefited from it so I want to write it again, for future readers.

I heard about someone (and then more people replied) that read "Healing Back Pain" book by John Sarno [1] and finally got rid of back pain. However strange it sounds, it seems to work. I didn't finish it yet but I already see the benefits.

My advise will be probably different: do a job that gives the highest salary and try to invest in something that gives you some (near) passive income. You're young so you have many possibilities and your earnings can be almost endless. Then in several years you will be selecting job only by they fun-ratio.


No C#, useless for me.


Sorry, will try to add in near future.


I was looking for some news aggregator for tech industry (having RSS feed) and found this on one of the "top 10" websites.


Well, feedly does inject ads so it is a thing.


slack x 10000000


It is a thing, and it makes feedly a bad application. "Not having ads" does not make your RSS reader good, it just makes it "not doing something bad and frankly, plain stupid". Not having trackers or ads is a given, in the same way your coffee maker doesn't come with tracking or ads, and you should go "uh, what? no thanks I'll use something else, this is ridiculous" when you find a coffee maker that does. Selling your coffee maker as "doesn't have tracking or ads!" just tells us your product has nothing else worth talking about.


Hello, thank you for your feedback. Yes, we do show ads in the Free version, there is always Feedly Pro with no ads. Ads in the Free version help us fund new projects and the infrastructure.


That's what paid pro accounts are for. Your product is good enough to merit people giving you money, which lets you develop the features that pro user benefit from, and free users get a taste of, to convince them to switch to a pro account.

Ads as your kickstarter in the absence of a pro account user base? Sure, if you have no other capital to work with, go for it. Still ads even after you have a pro account system in place generating cashflow? Now you're just being bad human beings.


Agreed. This reminds me of those products in the grocery store with "produced locally" on them. If that's the best you can say about something, it must be really bad.
