Interesting approach and I feel the burn of this quite often. Peers of mine have much greater hands dealt and I've worked quite hard to get where I'm at... I get bitter sometimes because theirs nothing I could have done to set up greater nets for myself or anything like that.
The disparity of equality and seeing the top after coming from the bottom makes you realize just how unequal things are and how it might just never change and get worse.
Luckily some readers also include a "always fetch full content" feature that pulls the linked page and runs it through a "reader mode" to remove the garbage. These kind of feeds really annoy me.
> I really enjoy reading content on my terms on not having to go everywhere to get it.
Unfortunately, I like to write my content knowing how it's going to have a certain appearance and layout, and because this doesn't scale to the narrow set of HTML allowed in the <description> tag, I don't have anything in there and just have a link to my site.
There are definitely RSS feeds without content so you have to go to their site and have adverts thrown at you, yeah, but it's not as simple as flipping a switch and having readable content in your RSS feeds.
One of my favorite webcomics updated very sporadically and didn't provide a RSS feed for the longest time; it was difficult to keep up with updates. The current feed is just a link to the comic and is a significant improvement.
The author was resistant to RSS for the longest time because they thought they _had_ to include the comic in the feed and was worried about losing ad revenue.
A bit of that is that RSS simply doesn't have great character support. You have to escape a whole bunch of stuff that is useful to have in the final product - because for most users the RSS is a notification feed, not the endpoint they go to.
Rings true for me, I've worked hard to socialize and try to talk to a stranger everyday for at least 30 minutes. It's painless now, and I'm loving where I've come along my journey. It's been hard, but really well worth it.
It all started with me working in a call center 7 years ago...
Ah yeah, I'm definitely overpaid because I don't go home and choose to work instead of spending time with my friends or skip weekends out to work more contracts.
Yeah, that's right I'm over paid. Eat a bag of biscuits you assuming flesh bag.
I'm giving up parts of my life to make money, and you expect me to want less than what I'm making?
Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN, regardless of how provocative another comment is? We're trying for something better than internet default here.
To be honest, I'm not sure how to find them. I somewhat fell into this one, but the term to search is "citizen science". https://www.citizenscience.gov/catalog has a catalog of Federal events. The one I do is more at the state level. There are also non-profits that often work closely with regional state and national parks.
I love all kinds of music and it'd be unrealistic for me to have it all purchased. I listen to easily 20 artists in a day, and those rotate very quickly.
