Regardless of the kind of news. I’m working on a TLDR bot and I’d like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.
Economist
Requires an account, so I can’t make it work with the bot.
Of the big ones I prefer Reuters and APnews
Support for both added, it should work when I release the bot.
Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao
I mostly visit BBC news
There is a lot of washington post, NY times and the guardian articles on here. Thanks for the awesome work!
Washington post added, Guardian was already there, NY Times requires an account and enabled JavaScript.
Thanks for the response and swift action! At the risk of asking an exceedingly dumb question: would it be possible to make one for archive.org? That way we could have articles from almost any source.
Can you send some link to an archive.org article? Can’t find any there.
Sure! For example this one
Oh I see, no, that’s sadly not possible to do universally, I have to evaluate the structure of each site to find the text content and archive basically copies the structure of the target website, meaning there’s no single structure for achive.org.
Would it be possible to use the structure for the NYTimes on archive.org, as a way of bypassing the account and JavaScript requirements? Or am I misunderstanding how that would work
I think it would be possible, yes.
That’s what I was afraid of. I was hoping the site itself would format the content in a way to make it possible. Thanks for the effort!
The Economist, Reuters, BBC, in no particular order.
Reuters and BBC were already done. It seems that Economist requires a subscription or at least registration? I’m afraid I can’t help with that.
In my experience, once you make an account they will let you read a lot of articles - even without paying.
https://www.axios.com/ seems refreshing
Sadly triggers captcha, won’t work for my bot.
Not my most-frequented, but definitely the one I admire most:
My bot now supports it!
Grist and Vox are my favorites, personally.
Improvethenews is a collection of all news sources and provides all sides of an argument. This is one of the best news aggregators.
Just discovered this, good tool!
I’m afraid that won’t work, the autotldr bot doesn’t really work with aggregators like this, it pretty much only works on articles.
. If this is the “best”, I weep for the worst.It’s very sad indeed that this is the “best”. The only thing better would probably be specific youtubers who go get news sources for themselves. But I’m not aware of many.
I for one am shocked that a site that pretty much positions itself as the lead centrists has shit takes.
Lol I don’t see how you were downvoted, the globe is probably the best Canadian news source and Ars is the best science / tech source.
Both added!
Different views: www.other-news.info actualidad.rt.com www.rt.com
Kremlin propaganda is not news.
And the others (AP, AFP, BBC, etc) are not propaganda?
Everybody ought to read, watch and listen all sides and THINK and take his/her position.
Something that www.others-news.info does very well, they post all sides. Mainly those articles hidden by the Big ones.
Should I watch Leni Riefenstahl films too, to help me impartially consider all sides of the issue of genocide before I take my position on it?
No.
Actual news of current affairs are not like history, i mean, “Riefenstahl films” is too much.
Nobody can be impartial, just more or less honest. News outlets represent different interests and you should think of this while getting information, that is all. They try to drag you in what they want you to believe in.
Any person can follow an issue from two or three opposite sides and track the development of the subject and take a more or less rational position. Refusing even hear arguments from one side could be a mistake.
I did not say impartial, just rational.
“What will Putin do? We don’t think that far,” the official said. “Our national strategy is that Zelensky can do whatever he wants to do. There’s no adult supervision.”
I don’t think this really counts as news, I won’t be adding support for the sites to my bot.
Ok, It is your bot…
It is your bot, your time and your effort, it is yo to you.
Block Club Chicago
I was a founding donor back when they got started.
I added support for that site to my bot!
Enjoy your Chicago hyperlocal reporting!
I use The Guardian primarily and ABC Australia.
Added ABC Australia!
Grauniad definitely
googled it to see if it was some new site, lol it’s the Guardian.
It’s an old joke, Guardian was known for insane amount of typos
