What RSS feeds do you use for tech news?

I recently decided to start using RSS to curate interesting news as I feel I am being overloaded with Clickbait from all directions when I am looking for the latest news or updates on Google. I'm looking for some good sources for Tech or Programming Articles or news that aren’t just clickbait and have good informative content.

I currently have BBC News, Krebs On Security and Ars Technica, does anyone have any other website suggestions which are worth subscribing to?

Ars Technica Information Technology - https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/technology-lab
Ars Technica - Gaming & Entertainment - https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/gaming
BBC Tech - http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml
Krebs On Security - https://krebsonsecurity.com/feed/

    Related to this: do you recommend any RSS-reader for Mac? I was very happy with NetNewsWire, but they moved to Ipads/Iphones exclusively it seems.

      I’ve been using Reeder 5 lately and enjoying it. Doesn’t seem quite as feature rich as NetNewsWire, but it’s really polished and pleasant to read on.

      I suppose the other downside is that it’s not free, but I’ve still enjoyed my time with it.

        Thats weird. My Macbook didn't carry the app over when I upgraded the IOS recently and the Appstore said it was exclusive available for Ipads/phones. But now I have it up and running again. Thanks...

    I wrote my own smart RSS reader named YOShInOn which uses a BERT model to cluster and classify documents. This morning it ingested 1800 articles and picked out 300 to show me, I will probably look at 200 of those.

    I am using Superfeedr to ingest feeds which costs about 10 cents a feed for a month which is a bargain for busy feeds (CS papers from arXiv, world news from The Guardian, …) but not cost-effective for ingesting 1000 personal blogs which I’d like to do. I’d like see more “Planets” that aggregate RSS feeds to help with what I do. Here are some (mostly technical) I subscribe to

    I just added Tildes, my system does a pretty good job on high volume feeds with some quality curation to begin with, Metafilter and the best comments from HN perform really well.
