<description>A public transit researcher that mostly talks about the many issues in public transit. The most common trend you will quickly notice if you start reading regularly is that every American transit planner is either an idiot or forced to make bad decisions by politicians or other idiots, that construction costs are insanely high, and that cars are going to keep their supremacy for a long while. This just reinforces the idea that I should stay in Eurasia and never ever try to go to North America.</description>

<description><![CDATA[
<p>I stopped reading technology news from aggregators like Hacker News or lobste.rs, due to their numerous issues as highlighted by n-gate, and I do not read from mainstream tech websites either because 99% of what they publish does not interest me. Additionally, most publications will just wake up my resent for modern technology since it ignores most of its own issues, so I keep my anger at bay by not reading anything.</p>
<p>A few months ago, ~netscape_navigator showed me his "recent reading" list, for which I requested an RSS feed. He uses it in <a href="https://rickcarlino.com/2017/developer-news-productivity-hack.html" target="_blank">an interesting process</a> to feed on the news while driving using text-to-speech, and just decided to publish his curated news feed. I now generally see this feed as my "wholesome news" feed, because most articles on there are about interesting scientific discoveries, hacking projects, tech history podcasts and articles, etc. There still are some bad news but they are much less related to current politics or other issues of the tech industry like e-waste, america-centrism or racism.</p>
<p>You could probably argue this is kind of a <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/circle_jerk" target="_blank">circle jerk</a>, since I am only reading the news from my friends who are more likely to share the same opinions as me; but this feed does not really have that many news, and I am already well aware of the most important issues in tech since I will still see them being discussed on IRC, tilde.news, Misskey, or at the workplace. They are discussed enough for me to just not want them to pollute my RSS reader as well, a place where I can go with the expectation to either relax or learn things. Having this feed here helps me get more interesting articles from lesser-known English-speaking news websites that I simply never heard of in France, such as <em>Scientific American</em>, or discover new blogs.</p>
<p>You can also <a href="https://news.rickcarlino.com/">view the articles in a browser</a>, but why would you do that when you have an RSS reader?</p>
