Cruise line apologizes after dozens of whales slaughtered in front of passengers

Reply in thread

i agree. some values are universal, like what should be considered cruel, but slaughtering pigs is pretty cruel too (i eat them anyways!). to me, what's funny here is how privileged first world people just hate to see how the hot dog is made, so to speak.

it's like privileged people hating to simply see homeless people in cities even though the system that makes people homeless is necessary to keep the high property values that they benefit from. the mere witness of the cruelty we benefit from in modern society makes the privileged one feel like a victim.

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

also you might like https://www.techmeme.com/ as a high-volume aggregator.
