Well, there’s Hacker News of course, for .Net I follow Chris Alcock’s The Morning Brew and Alvin Ashcroft’s The Morning Dew. Slashdot used to be quite good, but it’s gotten worse, and while I still read it, there’s maybe one or two interesting items a week. Slightly more general IT newsy there’s The Register.
Other than that I try to regularly listen to podcasts, for a slightly more in-depth view on topics that I’d not necessarily dive into on my own, and general local news, which in my case is mostly nu.nl, geenstijl and daskapital.
Newsletters: JS Weekly, Devops Weekly, DB Weekly, Hacker Newsletter, Web Tools Weekly, Ruby Weekly, FrontEnd Focus, React Status, Software Lead Weekly
RSS: Various developer blogs/sites who/that I respect (about 40), Atom Packages, Sublime Text Packages
Subreddits: /r/programming, /r/webdev, /r/javascript, /r/frontend, /r/opensource, /r/freesoftware (typically these have much more noise than value)
Websites: Hacker News
GitHub: Follow a handful of developers I respect (about 20, don’t want to overflow my feed)
Twitter: Follow many more developers I respect whom post tech info (about 160), this includes @ossjs and @osssh (finds popular projects on GitHub based on signal spikes)
I typically don’t read most articles or subreddits in newsletters. It’s more to help me get a feel on the pulse of the community. If I see something enough times, then I’ll take time to dive deeper
For RSS, I use NewsBlur so articles don’t disappear if I go afk for a weekend
I used to read Slashdot, but it’s gone into this weird political hole where things that aren’t even remotely tech-related get posted if it’s click-baity enough.
(I finally gave up after a row of three articles on the home page were yet-another “too many white males in CS” (which, even if true, has become click-baity at Slashdot), followed by “Hilary Clinton’s health is a concern” (how is that even remotely tech-related?), followed by a blatant advertisement for Apple presented as a news story).
So now it’s lobste.rs and Reddit with a carefully cultivated list of subs.
I use twitter pretty often for relevant news that I’m interested in. The people and companies I follow there usually post interesting things.
Check out this thread from awhile back. Some good responses here. https://lobste.rs/s/zzmtlh/which_sites_do_you_visit_everyday_keep_up

speaking of local news, other than the ones you mentioned there’s De Speld!
