How To Stay Up To Date On The Internet? (lemmy.world)

I realize this may sound a bit stupid considering it's the Internet; there's information everywhere. That being said, over on Reddit I used Third Party Apps like Apollo and Pager to stay up to date on certain things (Apple OS updates, Windows OS updates, Nvidia Driver updates, etc) where they would send me alerts when new updates were released, and now with Reddit shutting down these Apps I'm a bit lost on how to continue staying up to date, that is without manually refreshing official sites and waiting for a new update to release. Now, yeah, I probably could just follow Twitter accounts, but Twitter is a shithole.

RSS, basically. for software with github releases, there's an RSS feed for release feeds by appending .atom to the releases page, like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases.atom

check out nitter.net for twitter RSS, has been going strong through API changes. also since you mentioned Apple stuff, it's not per small update but they publish major stuff on the Newsroom feed which has an RSS feed: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/rss-feed.rss

also you might like https://www.techmeme.com/ as a high-volume aggregator.

I've been trying to get into RSS even before Reddit went to shit, however the problem with RSS, or at least for me, is that I'm genuinely struggling to see ONLY the things that I WANT to see. With Apple for example, I ONLY want to be notified of new iOS updates, but every feed that I can find pushes out articles for everything Apple related, which is not what I want.
