Need Your Suggestions: RSS Reader for Windows PC

I have been happy with a podcast player's feed reader on my Android for some time,

but I am about to give up because its screen size makes it difficult to read long articles and need an app for windows PC (getting the full text then let me read them offline)

I would appreciate your guidance on the best recommended RSS readers for Windows PC that are:

-Visually good app  for a Windows Laptop
-Able to get the feeds with full text then let me read them offline

I saw the same thing happen twice already.

Once with Lugi and the other with Tesla. Websites see the traffic that their news bring, so they dedicate 55% and more of their website to cover them in the most dumb way possible.

How many articles do we need about Tesla cars being destroyed or vandalized? At a certain stage it becomes silly and more importantly, the websites covering them is a capitalist websites who would not give a shit about this topics if it did not bring them money.

My question is not about the websites, my question is about the people who read and share their articles, why do they do that? How do they fell for this over and over?

Just to be clear, I am not talking about the articles who deliver new info about the event, I am specifically talking about the article that keep recycling the same info without adding anything new or even offer a new analysis. (The Verge for example)

I've always known these with pins, or are they replaced by those two tiny plates on the side?

In a romantic relationship or otherwise. I'm being ghosted over a job, so I ask randos on the internet about what they do. WBY?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice I've been trying to follow. It helps having it reinforced. It's just hard for several reasons any of which would make it my top choice.

1. It's in the city my sister lives in. I haven't lived near my family since I finished high school
2. My job is inherently transient; I move every 1-2 years. This one gave me some permanency
3. I've been doing the same thing for the last 10 years. This one gives me additional responsibilities
4. It's prestigious and would come with higher pay

I'll be working on it, but like I said it's tough. It's almost like the universe gave me the perfect go fuck yourself.

Edit: Or what are you dreading?

I was planning a trip to the USA to visit their parks, which seem to be amazing, but due to recent daily shenanigans involving immigrants, I'll have to post pone the visit

With that in mind, I'm looking for alternatives, any recommendations? I have 30 days and I'd prefer to be limited to 1 airplane ticket if visiting more than one park in this period. Multiple train connections or other transport alternatives are fine

He's an absolute piece of shit and everything he does is horrible but I find it hard to hate him.

I think the show does an {excellent} job of making him look pathetic and pitiable, maybe there's something to that overruling the digust I inevitably feel from everything he does or says. He's definitely someone I never tire of joking about or referrring to as a short hand for senility and capitalism embodied, i dunno, I feel more sad for him. Like its lonely at the top and its worse if thats all you have.

Maybe sometimes I feel not so different from him (of course without all the money and the psychopathy lol)

Whatever you use to marinate and flavor chicken.

Tired of buying the expensive one-off packets

Whether it's a project you're working on, plans you have this weekend, an event you're going to, etc. What's something that's got you excited?

Fresh tomatoes whether it's grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while

When you feel down, does enjoying something you like help you or does your state of mind prevent you from enjoying it?

In my case it is the latter. When I'm in an emotional slump everything I like doesn't lift my mood. It's only when I'm in, let's say, a "neutral mood" that I can start to enjoy things.

(And yes, I know that's a symptom of depression. I'm under medical treatment for that, don't worry. I ask out of honest curiosity))

So, it dawned on me while watching a documentary directed by an obviously well-to do upper-middle class guy, that most media is slanted towards upper-class sensibilities and perspectives more often than not. This is especially prevalent in movies and tv where the main characters are typically upper-class or even rich. I'd always had an aversion to these depictions, but I've never fully articulated my disillusionment with it. The problem is that these depictions of "average" families are woefully unrepresentative of your average person.

My question is: what is some media, in any format, that is informed by a working-class perspective?

I've found a few obvious authors out there, like Steinbeck, Bukowski and Irvine. But am interested in not only authors, but artists of all kinds and different mediums. Alternative comix and independent cinema, and things like zines spring to mind as mediums that might have more representation along those lines. Are there any specifically worker derived works that any of you can recommend?

I can't resist bright orange plastic.

My favourite season has gotta be spring, here's why :

For me in the UK, when spring hits its basically a diet coke version of summer, sure there's some rain but boy when it's sunny, then its a great feeling because you're not too hot and bothered.

Same things for sleeping at night, oh and it's not so cold that you can comfortably wear almost anything without being absolutely cooked like an egg!

What about you?

Something depicts life in African towns that are not wealthy settings or main characters

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

For mine, it would be general tso’s chicken I got from the grocery store last weekend, made me throw up like 8 times, was prob food poisoning.

This die defines your luck in life, and is rolled by your god of choice at every important event: roll a (0) you fail miserably, (6) you succeed briliantly, (4) you pass, barely.

Would you rather have:
A: a 000666 die?
B: a 111555 die?
C: a 222444 die?
D: a 333333 die?

So my mom promised my little sibling a phone in a few months.

As of now, they have no social media or anything, just a Steam account and Spotify I made with an email alias.

I have the feeling their friends will rope them in to mainstream social media and I have no idea how to combat this or even if I should. Fediverse social media is not even there yet and as for messaging, idk if these guys will find it batshit crazy to use Signal or not.

My main fear is just social media addiction, depression, and the big tech guys stealing personal information.

I'm thinking maybe we get an iphone because my mom still wants the tracking feature for peace of mind and some different phone number for social media.

Graphene phone might be a little hardcore so not gonna go that route, iphone with lockdown mode and no icloud should be fine.

For things like email, thinking protonmail for email because I'm used to it but I'm not sure.

Any suggestions? Do y'all think I'm crazy?

Tonight, I attended a talk on neuroscience and brain research, and there were a lot of interesting links between memories, behavior, and mental health. So I'm doing my own little version of that in this thread. What song do you associate with happy memories, even if it's just a general feeling of happiness? Can you recall one of your oldest ones?

Go your own way, by Fleetwood Mac makes me think of fun car trips with my parents, roughly around 6-8 years old. Nothing terribly specific, though I do associate it closely with one of the city highway on ramps used to go visit relatives, go skiing, or get to the airport. :)

What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I'm mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you'd be in violation of something at work.

Hi. I am new to Lemmy, trying to get rid of Reddit. I am slowly finding my way here, but I still haven't figured out how I can filter all NSFW content out of my feed? I am using Mlem, but maybe I should use something else? Thank you!
