Note #25736

After “fixing” BBC News’ RSS feeds I noticed that I was seeing less news (and, somehow, stressing less over everything happening in the USA). Turns out that in switching myself to my new system I’d subscribed to the UK edition, whereas previously I’d been on the Full edition. I’ve corrected it now in my RSS reader, but it was an interesting couple of days.

tl;dr: I accidentally stopped reading international news and I was less stressed

Anyway: if you’re not already using my improved BBC News RSS feeds, they’re at: https://bbc-feeds.danq.dev

    Excellent feeds – thank you! I built myself a little news ticker with an RPi Zero 2W and a spare OLED 1306 screen following this article:

    I substituted your BBC world newsfeed for the one in the article – it works a treat!
    Thank you again,
    Mark
