Not news proper. I have a pile of programming-related RSS feeds I follow, including HN. And some fun hashtags on Mastodon (like astronomy, geology, history, etc.)

If something is newsworthy, it makes it through one of those sources. I follow a subreddit for my town, as well, to get local info.

Someone here on HN asked what actions someone has taken based on the last 10,000 news articles they've read. I realized I couldn't name one, so decided news was a waste of time. By comparison, I can name a quite a number of actions I've taken from my current feeds, e.g. from learning more programming stuff to jumping on EFF action alerts, etc.
