and while it works 99% of the time, the few times it does not, have led to the premature greying of my hair

When I say, oh you can’t use this, I’ve specifically tailored this to my needs, what I mean, is that this is a giant pile of hacks, most pretty insecure, that I dare not let loose in the wild.

Tried the new #Reeder for #RSS. It’s definitely not for me.
It does not work with my #Miniflux instance and does too much “magic”
Been a happy user for more than a decade and a half now and I’m a bit saddened that Silvio’s vision for how an RSS app should be, has diverged from mine.
Wished Silvio had just enabled subscriptions in #ReederClassic, so I could continue to pay him, annually.
So where does that leave me, now that one of my core reading experiences is undergoing upheaval? With a certain sense of unease for now, that is all.
#ReederClassic still exists and I hope there will be enough people like me, who’d love to pay @rizzi to keep working on ye olde classic.
I worry about an amazing app like this vanishing.
None of this is to say that the new app is bad. It’s classic Silvio.
I’m assuming an enormous amount of time and effort must have gone into accomplishing all that he has done.
It’s beautiful, polished and amazing. Just sadly not for me :)
Go try it 1 and if it fits your mental model, then there can be no better app, than a Silvio Rizzi creation

is there any Indian site online, that has signed copies of the new William Dalrymple book, The Golden Road? Shipping it in from abroad is prohibitively expensive for me.
Please boost for reach.

When Cabanel finally graduated and returned to Paris as a professional painter, he had already received nearly *sixteen years* of focused, intense education on art and art alone.
I’d kill for that. Or, at least sacrifice a goat for it.
You can graduate from medical school and be operating on patients in less time than that artist studied how to paint that angel.
