Reading Ben Hammersley led me to the just released NewsMonster which is yet another news aggregator! I might have to give this one a try. It works with Mozilla and uses Java, so it will work in any OS, and it claims to render most major news sites, even if they don’t have an RSS feed. It also caches full articles for offline reading. We might have to give that a try on the laptop to see how well it works.

    Linked – AI Agents Come For White Collar Jobs

    How often have we watched a C-level person from Microsoft remind us that AI will not take our jobs but help us do our jobs better? It was there to assist us, not work for us.

    “It’s even in the name, Copilot.”
