Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.

    So for those style websites, FreshRSS (my server)/and CabyReader (my client) offer options to parse the linked article for content.

    They mostly get the full article without tinkering but other sites I use css selectors to get the article section of the website.

    Then I press the “parse” button if the article is just a summary and it’ll get the whole article.

    That said, I do put more emphasis on following individuals rather than large sites like those you mentioned. So I have a couple dozen individual blogs followed, but also a handful of sites like NewScientist, BigThink, AndroidPolice, TinyBuddha, VICE

      Okay, that’s very cool. I’m into self-hosting and will look into running FreshRSS to parse sites and feed me articles. Much appreciated!
