I asked on Twitter and Mastodon for RSS feeds I should have in my reader, to expand my daily reading.

I received a handful of recommendations, and more are welcome!

What I have already

(These are in the order they exported from FreshRSS, rather than anything more significant.)

Attorney at Work: practical stuff for lawyers, mostly US-centric.
Lawyerist.com: more practical business stuff for lawyers, mostly US-centric.
decoded.legal: our own firm’s blog on Internet, telecoms, and tech (English) law stuff. (I’m subscribed so I can tell if our feed is working or not!)

i.e. written by one person, or mainly one person, rather than blogs about personal lives

Carrie Goldberg: victims’ rights lawyer in the USA.
IP Draughts: mostly IP policy stuff, and grumblings about contract law issues.
Tim Turner: data protection and information rights.
Alec Muffett: mostly security, and Internet policy, stuff.
Coffee & Kink: Amy’s blog about sex and relationships.
Emily Overton: mostly records management, and data protection / privacy, stuff.
Girl on the Net: sex, relationships, and related rants.
Graham Smith predominantly Internet law and policy.
Heather Burns predominantly Internet law and policy.
Jess Miers: a mix of Internet law and policy, from a US perspective, with experiences of being a law student in the USA.
Neil Brown: my own personal blog, mostly Linux, Necromunda, and Internet law/policy stuff. (I’m subscribed so I can tell if our feed is working or not!).
RevK: various techie musings and projects, with occasional cycling stuff.
Ross McKillop: occasional, mostly tech stuff.
Terence Eden: a daily blog, full of interesting mostly tech stuff.
Shaun McGill: tech, politics, and watches. I’ve read Shaun’s various blog incarnations since about 2002, and Shaun was the first “Internet friend” that I met in person.
Bits from Debian: updates about the Linux distribution, Debian.

RMGirl (Emily)’s blog, via Twitter, from RMGirl - Emily. Emily’s RSS feed provides only a very short summary; if you want to work around it in FreshRSS, you can do so using an “Article CSS selector” of #content .post.
The Light Blue Touch Paper blog (Security Research, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge), from Andrew Moore, via Twitter.
The Data Rainbow blog, from djoker, via Twitter.
Eric Goldman’s blog, from Michael Fischer, via Twitter.
The excellent Techdirt site, from Jacob Nimmocks, via Twitter. This was one already on my list.
