Bye Bye, Slashdot

2005-04-27

Slashdot just started putting ads in their RSS feed, and as result, I just unsubscribed. I hear pretty much everything from that feed elsewhere first, now, so I’m not feeling terribly concerned about it.

I’m a little sad to see it go, though. I’ve read that site for years, and it’s where I heard about the 9/11 stuff, which prompted me to turn on the TV in time to see the second plane. Memories…

But, they sold out and stuck ads in my RSS. Too bad.


ADDENDUM: I also just unsubscribed from hackaday.com’s feed. They put ads in also. If I just don’t get to read any news, well, then so be it.
