  • You realize there are schools for lots of different things?

    I think the moral of your story is to avoid college altogether and to just enter the field at the lowest level and work your way up. Because no one cares about degrees anymore (and they shouldn’t). Or at least make sure your degree is valuable. The problem is my generation was pressured “go to college” and not really anything more than that, so people came out of that with a bunch of useless degrees.

    I have a family member that graduated valedictorian from college and still can’t get a job.

    So while I resonate with your point, this woman is simply further cheapening the value of the degree from the institution she is attending. And asking the question she did is just incredibly ignorant.




  • I’m yet to find a web-based RSS reader that’s not terrible. NewsFlash for Linux and NetNewsWire for Mac are the best I’ve seen but both are local. They both also support syncing to a FreshRSS server but I’ve never had success.

    FreshRSS has a horrendous interface, IMO. Can be fixed but it is way way more complicated than it should be.

    Currently I’m running Miniflux but it doesn’t seem to be able to refresh itself or sort articles chronologically.

    Edit: MiniFlux seems to have fixed itself somehow. I’m using FluxNews on Android. But it doesn’t support “reader” mode, which I find to be a vital part of any RSS service.
