How do / would you prefer to find "news"? I treat HN as a stream of stuff I would have missed otherwise with my limited set of RSS feeds (like you, limited on purpose to avoid making them infinite).

Seems like there's a follow-up: do you find reading actual news to be a waste of time?

Yes, I find actual (TV) news to be a waste of time. It wasn't always like this. I used to follow news related to politics etc daily, until I realised I was spending too much energy and time on it, and over a long period it wasn't helping me.
