Filter out offending RSS feeds
There is a free service so important in these troubled times that it deserves its own post.
It's siftrss. Use it to weed out the news you've had your fill of. A couple of examples that come to mind are trump
and covid
.
If anything truly important happens in either of those areas, the news will find its way to you. Meanwhile, enjoy a little less stress in your life.
You can apparently use regular expressions if you want to match more than one term, although I didn't have any luck with it. The developer, Ryan Gitten, says on Reddit:
You can do that with a little regex magic. In your specific case, the regular expression you'd want to match would be /Android|iOS/. If you don't want it to be case-sensitive you'd add an i to the end of the regex (after the slash), but in this case I'd leave it case-sensitive. Otherwise, the "iOS" part would match "Bioshock" or anything else containing those three letters in that order.
