I've always felt pretty good about leaning on HN and Reddit for tech related news. As a SysAdmin some of the Reddit subs have been pretty decent for me in the past for getting news and opinions about AWS, RedHat, Python etc. But as I've gained more experience they seem quite repetitive and centred around people getting started and/or people getting certifications.<p>So where else do people look for general tech news? I'm pretty open to anything and as someone who is hoping to pivot more towards development and automation anything along those lines would be valuable.
Not tech, but I have set my firefox home to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events</a>
I like Novara Media, for UK politics stuff, but also very interesting interviews. They have a quite wide range of interviewees, from a surprisingly broad political spectrum (that goes from somewhere in the center to the far left), and the hosts are charming, intelligent, and always well prepared.
Other than HN, Lobste.rs is good too for non-tech stuff:<p><a href="https://lobste.rs" rel="nofollow">https://lobste.rs</a><p>As for non-HN type news, I have pretty much stopped following establishment media completely (even non political stuff) and got paid subscriptions to Glenn Greenwald, Viva Frei and Robert Barnes, Steven Crowder mug club and give support to independent creators and journalists like Jimmy Dore, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Mate, Michael Tracey, Alison Morrow, Sharyl Attkinson. Catherine Herridge & Tucker are good too - though I don’t watch them often anymore as I don’t want to support any establishment media. I have gone as far as to install ad blocker and pi-hole and share archive.is links to avoid giving them money and clicks. I support people I like with actual subscriptions by setting aside around $250 per year.<p>Glenn Greenwald’s Substack<p><a href="https://greenwald.substack.com" rel="nofollow">https://greenwald.substack.com</a><p>Viva Frei & Robert Barnes law related Locals and YouTube:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/VivaFrei/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/VivaFrei/videos</a><p><a href="https://vivabarneslaw.locals.com" rel="nofollow">https://vivabarneslaw.locals.com</a><p>Alison Morrow Locals:<p><a href="https://alisonmorrow.locals.com" rel="nofollow">https://alisonmorrow.locals.com</a><p>The American Conservative:<p><a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.theamericanconservative.com</a><p>Crowder:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/StevenCrowder/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/StevenCrowder/videos</a>
