As much as I feel I should donate to #TheGuardian, I see something like the following, and it's just too much for me:
"we place a pixel on our web pages that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a Guardian reader who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them".
Any recommendations for quality #news sites that don't go to such lengths?
@syntax https://legiblenews.com is worth a look (pulls from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events) but is JavaScript free.
Wish more sites would offer “lite” versions like https://text.npr.org and https://lite.cnn.com.
@syntax There's also the JavaScript-free https://m.zaqs.org, "a customizable news aggregator of online news websites. Our mission is to provide a fast loading website that can show what is going on in the world right now, with multiple perspectives and sources, without editorialization, and to be a good portal for the discovery of new and interesting news websites."
@syntax Down a rabbit hole, I also found the open-source http://guardian.gyford.com, "For viewing a daily issue of the Guardian and Observer newspapers using content from the Guardian Open Platform."
@andreas That's a nice idea! It works well using just arrow keys for quick nav. I also like the ZAQS site, especially the way you can customise your feeds.
