I’ve written before about avoiding the algorithm by following newsletters, blogs, and websites. This is a follow-up, a year later, with a handful of old and new tech-oriented newsletters for you to select from to add to your feed.
If you read that post, you’ll discover I don’t read every word on every site I follow. But I’d much rather have an overflowing list of quality articles from people I choose to follow rather than whatever the algorithm chooses to send toward me.
Here is a list of good tech newsletters/blogs grouped into three categories.
Tech Newsletters by Christians
These are written from an explicitly Christian perspective or written by a Christian (though, of course, that doesn’t mean I agree with everything they write).
