The internet, everyone talks about it

[-] SeeleLowe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

But seriously, does anyone actually use paper anymore lol

[-] TheGayDude@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Paper was invented by the government to give us papercuts and put nanopapers in us to track our every move and thought 🤔

[-] Stout4689@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Here i am waiting for my newspaper to be delivered. I'll take a look at this so called "internet"

Ironically enough, Reddit. I also use Google News on the side but most of the time I’m going to go to Reddit to see the discussion, which is why I kind of am missing that on here.

Hopefully with more users we’ll get more content and be able to replicate that experience!

This is what made me ask. I basically do the same

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 I’ve always wanted for a news source.

[-] Stout4689@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That looks brilliant, thanks for sharing!

[-] Coolbootyjames@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] Stout4689@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing, I quite like the idea of doing it through feeds.

[-] animist@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

arstechnica, gizmodo, omglinux, gamingonlinux

Try to stay away from non-tech news bc it's all just ragebait

[-] Copio@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

RSS to blogtrottr.com to my email.

[-] Stout4689@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Copio@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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.
