Lots of interesting comments! I really enjoyed this thread. Two things I'd add:
-
I think "technology" should really be referred to as "a technology". For instance, judging Gen Z against a technology (like a photocopier) that predates their birth seems a bit unfair. As a Gen X, I don't think it was fair to be judged for growing up with calculators instead of slide-rulers. I love old tech, but I'm not kidding myself, it's old tech not the only tech.
-
Also shouldn't the organisation adapt instead? If new hires are more comfortable watching videos for training vs reading procedures, or taking photos of things with their phone instead of the photocopier, isn't that just fine. It's not my preference, but isn't it best for me to adapt rather than them.
It's not that I don't have generational pride. I like my generation, we were and are adaptable. I just can't imagine that the subsequent generations won't be as adaptable to things I can't even imagine yet.

For years I've used Feedly, but recently tried "Feeder" on Android. I like the minimalist and no ad aspects. Even better it has a "fetch full article" function that works even for some paywalled sites. - downside is no website.
apparently threads isn't going to encourage politics and news.
but, I think news orgs have other ideas.

oh awesome! thanks for that link - I like that. For me, I like jumping around from rss readers to kbin to mastodon. It seems like the major news orgs might flock to threads. I can't be bothered to sign up.... and I don't want an instagram account. When threads federates, i'll just follow nytimes on threads through mastodon and be done with it. Seems like a bad sign for twitter.
I like using RSS. I experimented with trying to get threads accounts into my RSS reader using the Mastodon method but just added .rss to the user's page. Unfortunately doesn't work.
Mastodon example: https://infosec.exchange/@username.rss
Threads attempt: https://www.threads.net/@nytimes.rss (doesn't work)
maybe this will work eventually when they federate.

Frances Elizabeth Hayward was the first woman to unofficially complete the Comrades Marathon in 1923, during a time when the race was only open to white men.
The Natal Witness reported at the time, “Hayward made a steady pace, dropping to a walk on the hills, and, at Thornybush, was last but one, a good mile behind the others. She looked cheerful and fit, having previously announced her intention of making Drummond by 11:00. She got to Drummond at 11:14, not far off her intended schedule.”
The article ended with, “Another signal of women’s emancipation from the thraldom of good-natured disdain in which mere man has held her.”
