  10. THE way to follow the news online

    Something I hear a lot is: 'I use social media to follow the news.' but do you only watch the news or are you also distracted by brain rot and there are political positions that appear more and more on your phone? This makes sense because the algorithms try to give you feed that is relevant to you to keep you attached to the platform. To follow the news in such a neutral, undistracting way, it is best to read the newspaper, watch the news on TV or for online use RSS. No matter what you go for, do it the old school way.

  11. Feeder is a fully free/libre feed reader. It supports all common feed formats, including JSONFeed. It doesn't track you. It doesn't require any setup. It doesn't even need you to create an account!
