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.

1: Barrons 2: Financial Times 3: Economist 4: Bloomberg 5: Foreign Policy 6: Foreign Affairs 7: WSJ/NY Times (switch off every now and then so essentially interchangeable, NY Times has a broader focus, WSJ is more focused on the markets and business. I get a lot of business and markets news elsewhere, so the NY Times is usually my preferred option.)

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.
