Tech news: https://www.techmeme.com/river (mostly US) Political news: https://www.memeorandum.com/river

these were mini but to be honest i stopped reading them after i found hacker news. memeorandum became addictive for me because i could go there any minute of the day and see new and depressing doom and gloom, but it only ever feels reflective of the last 24 hours of the news cycle. i'd love a memeorandum that was only published weekly or even monthly.

Which one? It's something I've considered trying out for some time.

FreshRSS is pretty robust. Been running it on my own server for almost a year with zero issues.

FreshRSS is brilliant. Its ability to fetch full pages, filter CSS elements and utilise session cookies from my browser make it very easy to get a full-text article from most websites I'm interested in. If you're able to spend a little time fine-tuning after you set it up, it can be a very rewarding installation.

https://join1440.com/ I’ve been getting my daily news recap from 1440. It keeps to the claim of unbiased summaries and is the length I’ve been looking for.

This! Also look at Chartr, a (sibling? similar?) newsletter with interesting data.

FYI is a 1:1 repackage of Wikipedia current events page. Without citing the original source. If you want to bypass the (unethical) middleman, try this feed: https://www.to-rss.xyz/wikipedia/current_events/ Edit: oh. you’re the middleman. https://bradgessler.com/projects/legible-news/

Yep! I reformat it so it’s more readable, donate $1 per subscription to the Wikimedia foundation, and display link to a content license per page. It’s about as unethical as clicking the “Reader” button in your browser.

It's not quite the same when you don't attribute clearly. Clicking reader may have the same end result, but it leaves no doubt as to where the information comes from.

The commenters on Ars hate Elon Musk but love SpaceX. The conflict can be "interesting" at times.

That sounds rather similar to the prevailing attitudes here and it seems fairly understandable.

Understandable yes, but it has reached the point of unnecessary dog piling. Ars also stokes the flames by featuring as many Elon headlines as possible, and they aren't particularly objective.
