summary
The talk explains a workflow for replacing social media feeds with RSS readers to regain control and stay up-to-date, recommending Inoreader (with mentions of Feedly and Fedibird) plus aggregators like Hacker News, Lobster and Journal du Hacker. It shows practical techniques: separating feeds by theme and frequency, using popularity scores, AI summaries, auto-translation and audio, importing newsletters/YouTube/podcasts, tagging and auto-generated feeds, and producing a weekly blog recap; it also describes a custom news site (Human Codors news) and a longtime training organization used to validate the method.
