But seriously, does anyone actually use paper anymore lol
Paper was invented by the government to give us papercuts and put nanopapers in us to track our every move and thought ๐ค
Ironically enough, Reddit. I also use Google News on the side but most of the time Iโm going to go to Reddit to see the discussion, which is why I kind of am missing that on here.
Hopefully with more users weโll get more content and be able to replicate that experience!
This is what made me ask. I basically do the same
I have a mix of RSS feeds that go straight to Feeder (Android). A few of them include Ars Technica, the Google ai blog, Less wrong, slashdot, MIT news (ai), bbc. I'm constantly adding and subtracting.
Thanks for sharing, I quite like the idea of doing it through feeds.
Ground News aggregates news articles on a subject, has ChatGPT summarize it, proofs it for factuality, and tells you the political bias on the related articles. It's pretty helpful at getting a well-rounded understanding on how events are being reported.
The Daily Brief - I have been subscribed to their daily email newsletters for about 2 years. It's been a helpful way for me to stay vaguely aware of the most major global news events. I appreciate that each news story is condensed to a single factual paragraph without speculation or an imposed narrative:
TRUMP INVESTIGATIONS | Multiple media outlets reported yesterday that the U.S. Department of Justice has issued a target letter to attorneys for former President Donald Trump informing them that Trump is the subject of a criminal investigation related to the retention of classified documents at his home in Florida. Such target letters typically indicate that prosecutors feel they have substantial evidence linking someone to a crime. [more]
This is from one of their news briefs that came out yesterday Thursday, June 8, 2023. Notice that what is stated is purely factual and does not impose a narrative. The Daily Brief is a useful tool for getting a quick idea of what happened in the world yesterday, then you can read more about specific news events from other sources.
This is great. Exactly what Iโve always wanted for a news source.
That looks brilliant, thanks for sharing!
Like others said, this is excellent. I also always just used reddit to stay informed, and it wasn't always the best at doing that. I really like this cut the bullshit approach
arstechnica, gizmodo, omglinux, gamingonlinux
Try to stay away from non-tech news bc it's all just ragebait
RSS to blogtrottr.com to my email.
Interesting, never heard of blogtrotter before, so you pay to get feeds to your email?
Is there any reason you do that over an app?
It's free with ads, the ads appear in fixed location, so I just mentally ignored them. I started Blogtrottr back when Google Reader died, I forgot if I have tried other methods, but for so many years, there have been no problems, so that's no reason for me to move.
