I finally gave up following Ars Technica. For awhile I enjoyed their tech news because they seemed to dig into stories a little more than other outlets.
But lately they've become Musk Technica. They're falling for exactly the same media-hijacking con Donald Trump pulled off with the US political media. I'd scan a list of latest headlines and three or four of them would be about Musk's latest fart. I don't want or need to see that, and I think it's harmful to your sense of well-being. I wrote to them with this concern, and heard nothing whatsoever back, not even a "thank you for your note." So, unsubscribe. Sorry to see another one fall.
@abucci Were you following via the Twtxt feed I'm pretty sure we have for Ars Technica? 🤔

@prologic Pretty sure I was, and I may have been the one to create it. Anyway, not anymore.
@abucci I've toyed with the idea of having some kind of "user-defined logic" that can be applied to feeds from external sources. Wondering whether there's any interest in this type of thing? 🤔

@prologic could you elaborate on what that would allow?
@abucci Sure! I was thinking the feeds service (and anyone that runs their own) _could_ have some kind of DSL that lets you apply filters, sorters, compressors, replacements and all kinds of shit to external feed sources 🤔

@prologic ahh, OK I see thanks. Yes that could help--I could follow "Ars Technica minus Musk" I guess.
@abucci Yeah well I've never built anything like this so I'm not sure how it would work yet 🤔

@abucci @prologic tbh, there's no reason why this is a feeds thing and not a twtxt client (including yarn pods) setting. It would be useful to be able to filter out, for eg., "I don't want anything 'soccer' from anyone, nor 'musk' from @arstechnica and @abucci".

@marado Oh? You think it would be fine if we define more dynamic filters that users can define and control? 🤔

@marado that's a good point. Twitter and Mastodon allow you to mute keywords/keyphrases so that you don't see posts with those words and phrases in your feed. That's an important safety feature yarn should probably adopt at some point (unless it has it already and I missed it!)
@abucci I think this can easily be implemented! Pity you prefer to only run release versions 😅 I could build this and put it behind a feature flag 👌

@prologic I'm thinking I'll have to bend that rule if i want to enjoy all the cool stuff you're adding 🤔
@abucci Its probably worth it honestly, as you can help beta test new shit before we officially release them 😅 -- I promise we very rarely break the main branch -- which is why we employ feature flagging for risky changes or features we're not sure of 🤗

@prologic Alright, I just compiled main and am running it! Commit e1d8c3, looks like. What's good?
