Ask HN: What websites do you visit every day?

156 points by global-citizen ↗ HN
I've only recently discovered HN and absolutely love the community. I stumbled across it from a comment over on Ars Technica and it got me thinking: what other sites may I be missing out on?

People on here and Ars resonate with me, so I figure ask and see if there are others that might interest to me or other members of the community.

I'll start. I religiously check these sites, in this order, maybe 4-5 times a day:

1. Sydney Morning Herald (smh.com.au)

2. news.com.au

3. Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

4. Hacker News (here)

5. Politico (politico.com)

6. Fox News (foxnews.com)

My list changes somewhat frequently (depending on what's going on)

1. reddit.com/r/reddevils [For all things Manchester United]

2. substack : I try to write on a regular basis and this is also a place where I subscribe to newsletters. Some of my reading happens here.

3. nytimes : I have not been on this frequently. A break from news :)

4. hackernews : Out of habit almost.

1. hacker news

2. news.google.com

3. lichess.org (mostly for doing some puzzles)

There are others that I check "frequently" but not necessarily "every day" including lwn.net, various sub-reddits (/r/machinelearning, /r/semanticweb, /r/artificial, etc.), various stack exchange sites, etc.

i’m ready for spring fishing!
Me too. But I can't complain right now... I've caught a couple of decent largemouth bass already this year, despite the cold. I caught a nice 17" LMB from the Eno River just a couple of days ago. Made my week!

Love the Zerohedge. Before you ask, yes, libertarian.
If it's strictly "everyday", then only Hacker News, Google, BBC News, and Wikipedia would fit the bill.

If it's weekly, the list would include some subreddits on Reddit (I like /r/ArtisanVideos), a local newspaper aggregator, our local Covid-19 official news, and some social media site.

I do check some other sites of projects that I like and support such as FreeBSD, Debian, PostgreSQL, Clojure, ... or very local businesses that I support (local bakery, local foodshop, ...) on a monthly basis.
