Staying up to date with new technologies and the general movement of the space is extremely hard. I want to know what your main resources are, wether they’re websites, podcast, etc; I don’t care just share it :)

(Resources about specific parts of tech are welcomed too)

    I self host an instance of FreshRSS, and I got back to using RSS (whenever possible) to fetch the news. In some cases, I do web scrapping (also within FreshRSS) to get the news.

    The only thing lacking is push notifications.

      I don’t self host it but yeah rss is your best bet. Find a host (self host , free/paid service) and then whichever rss client you want. I use feedbin with reeder on iOS and Mac. Feedbin works in browser , so that is what I use on windows until I find one I like.

      You can even do subreddits which I might use for my Homelab and sysadmin stuff. Haven’t looked into rss for lemmy yet , probably should though

          After a long quest for an iOS and macOS rss reader with notifications I landed on NetNewsWire as the best option with no gimmicks.

    For general tech mostly just this community, but for those who want specifically space news I like Matt Lowne’s Space This Week YouTube series, and Scott Manley’s Deep Space Updates YouTube series which is every few weeks and has a bit more discussion of stuff.

    HackerNews being a bit of a time-suck, I’m subscribed to HN Digest, the daily newsletter of only the top links of Hacker News.

      Thought of a couple more. Unexplainable podcast from Vox has a lot of really interesting tech stuff & futurism. Not as much news as conceptual explorations.

      I’ve always liked Ezra Klien’s podcast too. A lot of the episodes are just politics & societal stuff but he does a lot of episodes on tech & automation and it’s impact on humanity. A lot of AI-related content lately.

      LTT mainly… when it shows up in my recommended videos.

    Slashdot & BluesNews (more gaming, but tech too) were both my go-tos when I was younger and surprisingly they’re both still going strong.

    TWiT - This week in tech (podcast) network. TWiT.tv

    It’s fantastic. And between this week in tech, macbreak weekly, security now, and this week in Google–youll have most of the tech world covered.

    They have a Linux show as well that’s pretty good. That one is for members only though (I think).

    RSS feeds through Reeder on iOS. Get news from outlets like Ars Technica, The Verge, MIT Tech Review, NYT, among others.

    Follow Hacker News. The main page has a slow moving top stories feed. Their Mastedon feed has all the submitted news.iPhone app Ivory shows both the link to the story and a link to the discussion on Hacker News.

    You could also look at skimfeed.com, but it picks up a lot of low quality content.

    Edit: I also like Ars Technica and techmeme.

    Tech news is so general. Consumer hardware? Datacenter hardware? Robotics? Mining equipment?

    Could be basically any industry at all.

    But yeah Hackernews, Arstechnica, and more specific items like LWN and personal blogs for programmers/creators I admire and find interesting.
