#52i'll throw my hat into the self promotion arena - i started a blog/newsletter to combat the concept of the dead internet - read for pop culture stuff as well as other cool, interesting things I find, and also music. It's a grab bag:

#53Some obvious ones: Lobsters: https://lobste.rs/ TwoStopBits: http://twostopbits.com Slashdot: https://slashdot.org (Yes, really...) Hackaday: https://hackaday.com
Not really blogs. More like HN alternatives.
If someone scraped those for the sites that are posted and arranged based on number of submissions, comments, upvotes etc. and layer on a bit of ML to classify then you'd have a reasonable blog directory. OP would probably benefit if people posted their OPML files but that does feel a bit personal.

#54Check out Substack to discover writers who have blogs.
Since substack came out with their alternative to tweets, the website looks a lot less interesting. How does one find new, interesting authors these days (not just people with lots of activity on their short form notes)?

#55My blog on emacs [1] is perhaps a bit too niche if you dislike emacs? I do write a lot about tree sitter, structured editing and movement in programming languages on it also. [1] www.masteringemacs.org

Thanks for your kind words!

#57There are enormous amount of aggregators who compile blogs and articles across the web. As a person who looks for new things to read, this is how I get my fresh feeds. 1. Mozilla Firefox Start Page - Shows blogs and articles from Pocket 2. Google Chrome Discover [Mobile] - Tuned to my interest and search result 3.

Shouldn't it be just "Language"? Why does the first language you spoke matter? The form validation is also broken, saying there is a incorrect character in the username when the actual error is that it's too short. The error m…

Thanks for the Blog System/5 plug! This is the first time I see my own publication recommended in one of these threads without me bringing it up :)

#60Have you tried reading books instead? Shaping thoughts typically takes a lot of time, and blogs may not be the best medium to find interesting information.
I read 40-50 pages on a daily basis. This was to stop scrolling LinkedIn and X. Thank you for the suggestion, I absolutely agree with this
