Ask HN: Websites / Apps that aren't a waste of time? With X, formerly Twitter, going the way it has, I find myself lacking spaces on the internet to scroll and learn things at the same time (besides this one.) Where does HN spend their downtime on the internet? |
For the Mac/iOS I use NetNewsWire. It syncs over iCloud and it’s free and open source.
I deleted my Reddit account last year after 8 years.

Learning doesn't happen by scrolling.
When scrolling Hackernews, intriguing topics abound that I never thought about before, much less even asked myself the question about. And I read the comments and become interested in a new area.
Counter-counterpoint: attention moves to something else before much learning was performed...
> spaces on the internet to scroll
These 2 are mutually exclusive ;)
Lord knows the world need more of that in the coming years.
