<p>There are plenty of websites showcasing various open source software projects, and plenty of websites encouraging you to use Linux, but a blog that strongly goes against <em>techies</em> and instead focuses solely on going FOSS for everyone but them is a bit rarer. <a href="https://scottnesbitt.net" target="_blank">Scott Nesbitt</a> has multiple blogs that I might showcase in here, and also has strong opinions on tech. <em>Open Source Musings</em> is his blog where he shows how he uses Linux to write, edit images, blog, read ebooks, or just browse the web, things that are not aimed at a highly skilled technical audience; how to use Linux when you just want to use a computer every sometimes without being a nerd.</p>

<p>I am writing this while sitting on a concrete barrier on a highway. Farmers all around Europe are angry, and in France this results in them blocking some highways. In my city, this means turning the highway into a urban park. People are walking around, cycling, playing tennis, having picnics, or even paragliding, and I am here, writing a blog post about RSS feeds. I mean, what better than a highway to explore the information superhighway and find feeds about other highways?</p>
<p>I wanted to find a transportation themed feed to post here due to the weird occasion. I found <a href="https://traffic.houstontranstar.org/rss/rss_info.aspx" target="_blank">the Houston TranStar RSS feeds</a>, for information about the various highways around Houston. I made <a href="https://envs.net/~lucidiot/rsrsss/opml/transtar.opml" target="_blank">yet another OPML file</a> to list all of those feeds if you feel like adding them all.</p>
<p>So I can now say that I have walked onto a highway to write an XQuery script, while watching a cyclist pass by while shouting "The road is ours! The world belongs to us!" This is a very… interesting day.</p>
