FWIW, I recommend to replace news surfing by perusing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events daily.
I'm not quite there yet myself, I sometimes fall in the bad habit of news surfing for fun, but I found the wiki portal to be sufficient to keep reasonably informed.
- OJFord 4y agoThanks - I came across that in reply to a similar comment to my own here recently, I do like the idea of it, might try that for a while.
- yunohn 4y agoWhile Wikipedia is great, that link is more like news “trivia” rather than anything substantially informative. There is absolutely no value to knowing every single accident, disaster, political incident, etc happening in every country around the world today.
- OJFord 4y agoBut it does let you decide for yourself which have any importance to you without enticing you with clickbait headlines and images, or pre-filtering for what the particular company's editors or owners want you to see/think you want to see.
- yunohn 4y agoAnd which of these news trivia facts actually have relevance and importance to you? I’m not supporting clickbait, just debating the value of a list of events with zero context.
