When I first got into my undergraduate program in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GraphicDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GraphicDesign</span></a>, one would go to design school to work on Print material. Photoshop was a "niche" software: you would edit your photos on it and then import them into other software (Freehand, PageMaker, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress).

Grégory Gutierez 🌻🎸🐧<p>9/ Il y a 4 ou 5 ans environ, j'ai donc abandonné mon compte gratuit <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Feedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Feedly</span></a>, et j'ai commencé à utiliser des applications <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> pour lire les fils RSS qui m'intéressaient. J'ai expérimenté, j'ai édité à la main depuis le Notepad de Windows des listes de fils RSS, je les faisais lire ici et là, mais sans jamais trouver un endroit à la fois simple et complet pour gérer tout ça facilement.</p><p>Et puis à force de tâtonner, j'ai découvert l'extension <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/FeedBro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FeedBro</span></a> pour Firefox. Ouf ! Enfin !</p>
Grégory Gutierez 🌻🎸🐧<p>7/ Et je considérais que cette "précieuse" liste, c'était à moi, et pas à <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Feedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Feedly</span></a>. C'est moi qui l'avais constituée, qui avais choisi d'y intégrer ou pas les fils populaires proposés par l'appli... et je trouvais tout à fait anormal de devoir passer à un abonnement payant seulement pour avoir le droit de générer ce fameux fichier tout simple de quelques kilo-octets... Je comprenais bien la logique de l'équipe derrière Feedly, retenir leurs "clients" autant que possible... Mais quand même.</p>
Grégory Gutierez 🌻🎸🐧<p>6/ ... c'était chouette, ça fonctionnait bien depuis mon navigateur et mon smartphone. </p><p>Mais j'avais un compte gratuit sur <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Feedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Feedly</span></a> et un jour j'ai voulu exporter la liste de mes abonnements RSS, pour l'injecter dans une autre application que je voulais tester.... </p><p>Et là je me suis aperçu que... que je ne pouvais pas exporter cette liste ! C'était pourtant pas grand chose : un fichier TXT avec les liens vers chaque fil RSS patiemment collecté au gré de ma vie numérique... Rendu inaccessible ?</p>
Grégory Gutierez 🌻🎸🐧<p>5/ Et du coup, bah j'ai commencé à utiliser des outils en ligne qui se présentaient comme des alternatives au défunt <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/GoogleReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleReader</span></a>, et bientôt comme des alternatives au <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/GoogleNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleNews</span></a> proposé (imposé ?) sur tous les smartphones et autres tablettes <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a>.</p><p>Je me souviens avoir longtemps utilisé <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Feedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Feedly</span></a>... Et j'étais bien content d'avoir à nouveau un endroit pour accéder rapidement aux infos qui m'intéressaient, sans écran pub et sans ces masses d'avis et d'engueulades devenus la norme.</p>

I have used Feedly as my RSS reader since it started and have paid for Pro for years. But as they added AI and other stuff I didn’t need, I yearned for a simple reader that would sync across devices. Set up NNW in a couple of minutes with syncing via iCloud, loved it. Cancelled my Feedly renewal.</p><p>A big thank you to the person in my timeline who alerted me to the fact that NNW is now FOSS (of course I can’t find the post now to credit you).</p>

The Realists<p><strong>From the Attention Economy to the Addiction Economy</strong></p><p><em>Editor’s note: this post was originally published on February 22, 2024. It has been updated and refreshed.&nbsp;</em></p><blockquote><p>Food Barker: “Right here, boys! Right here. Get your cake, pie, dill pickles and ice cream. Eat all you can. Be a glutton. Stuff yourselves. It’s all free, boys, it’s all free. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Tobacco Row Barker: “Tobacco Row, Tobacco Row. Get your cigars, cigarettes, and chewin’ tobacco. Come in and smoke your heads off! There’s nobody here to stop you!”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Model Home Barker: “Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! See the model home. It’s open for destruction and it’s all yours, boys, it’s all yours!”</p></blockquote><p>In an iconic segment from Disney’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio_(1940_film)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i><em>Pinocchio</em></i></a> (1940) – the animated film based on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Collodi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carlo Collodi</a>‘s book – the villainous Coachman lures young rebellious boys to Pleasure Island. There, they are free to eat all the sweets they want, drink beer, smoke cigars (!!!) and destroy everything in their sight. The cursed island eventually turns these mischievous boys into donkeys… that are then sold to the circus or to salt mines to do labor.</p><p>As soon as Pinocchio’s “conscience” Jiminy Cricket surveils the scene, he grows alarmed: “<i><em>Pinocchio? Pinocchio! There’s something phony about all this. I gotta get him outta here!”</em></i></p><p>In Italian culture when you call someone a donkey (“asino”) it means the person in question is ignorant, foolish and irresponsible.</p><p>I think Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island may be an apt metaphor for the current state of the internet – with Big Tech exploiting human weaknesses and our penchant for pleasure and distraction to turn us all into donkeys.</p><p><strong>From the “attention economy” to the “addiction economy”</strong></p><p>For over two decades we have heard about the “Attention Economy”… what a rare commodity our attention is and how it’s being exploited and manipulated by platforms and devices – by design – to expose us to ads, make us click and buy things.</p><p><i><em>Wired</em></i> magazine first talked about the attention economy in the article “<a href="https://www.wired.com/1997/12/es-attention/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attention Shoppers!</a>” that ran in December 1997. Its subheader read: “<i><em>The currency of the New Economy won’t be money, but attention</em></i>.”</p><p>For over twenty years, tech platforms’ engineers have been working in tandem with psychologists to optimize workflows and users’ behaviors, keeping eyeballs on screens for as long as possible.</p><p>In his thought-provoking book <a href="https://academic.macmillan.com/academictrade/9781250239082/tenargumentsfordeletingyoursocialmediaaccountsrightnow" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i><em>Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now</em></i></a> computer scientist Jaron Lanier wrote:</p><blockquote><p>Now everyone who is on social media is getting individualized, continuously adjusted stimuli, without a break, so long as they use their smartphones. What might once have been called advertising must now be understood as continuous behavior modification on a titanic scale.</p></blockquote><p>Earlier in the week I came across <a href="https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-of-the-culture-2024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an essay by Ted Gioia</a> that brilliantly describes the state of the internet and our culture in this brave new online world.</p><p>A passage that stood out to me and has been haunting me ever since reading it:</p><blockquote><p>The tech platforms aren’t like the Medici in Florence, or those other rich patrons of the arts. They don’t want to find the next Michelangelo or Mozart. They want to create a world of junkies—because they will be the dealers. Addiction is the goal. They don’t say it openly, but they don’t need to. Just look at what they do. Everything is designed to lock users into an addictive cycle.</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Summarizing Gioia’s superb essay feels criminal. You need to read it for yourselves from start to finish. Here it is: “<a href="https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-of-the-culture-2024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The State of the Culture, 2024″</a>.</p><p>And if you have an extra ten minutes, you can’t miss this essay by Gurwinder: “<a href="https://gurwinder.substack.com/p/tiktok-may-be-a-chinese-bio-weapon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok is a Time Bomb (The ultimate weapon of mass distraction)”</a>.</p><p><strong>A ray of light</strong></p><p>As bleak as these views may seem, there is a ray of light at the end of the tunnel: another way of being, of thinking, and of spending time.</p><p>I’d love to share with you a new habit I have formed that is rewiring my brain to spend more time reading long articles over bite-sized social media or Reddit posts.</p><p>Inspired by an essay by Justin Hanagan – <a href="https://www.staygrounded.online/p/a-well-curated-feed-reader-is-a-wonderful" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Well Curated RSS Feed Reader is a Wonderful Substitute for Social Media</a> – I added all the newsletters and blogs I read to an RSS feed reader (<a href="https://feedly.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feedly</a> in my case). This way, I can find writings by all my favorite authors in one place, without having to scour the “newsletter” tab of my email account.</p><p>As Hanagan wrote:</p><blockquote><p>A well-curated RSS reader can scratch that same ‘Just show me something interesting’ itch, minus most of the addictive and emotionally triggering content that literally fuels the big social media sites. It also can be an important stepping stone to spending less time online overall.</p></blockquote><p>The RSS feed is a world of its own – it feels like a boxed experience, with no temptations to click on something else and get sucked into a time consuming rabbit hole. It’s an experience in line with my values, as it gives me the impression of <i><em>learning</em></i> things, thinking deeply, as I am engrossed in long articles by my favorite writers. Social media posts by comparison – as witty as they may be – suddenly feel like junk food, lacking any nourishment. The feeling is perfectly encapsulated by this illustration by Justin Hanagan’s <a href="https://www.staygrounded.online/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i><em>Stay Grounded</em></i></a>:</p><p></p><p>Just like in Disney’s Pinocchio, I feel like I may have successfully escaped from Pleasure Island just in time.</p><p>And now whenever I feel tempted to scroll through Reddit or check social media for more than 10 minutes, I think of Pinocchio’s donkeys. And that immediately suppresses any desire for distraction and escapism.</p><p>As always, thanks for being here.</p><p>Elena</p> <ul><li>Did you enjoy this post? <strong>Share it with a friend!</strong></li><li><strong>Follow</strong> me on&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.social/@_elena?ref=newsletter.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a>&nbsp;(my favorite network).
