Simone SCan anyone recommend small independent sources of information/news, either about tech, world facts, or both, that are in a similar ballpark as kottke and 404media, but they're not US-centric?
Anything interesting in Europe or elsewhere?

Jason Koebler@m2m it’s in Portuguese, but Núcleo does very very good work in Brazil: https://nucleo.jor.br/
Raphael (he/him)@m2m I’ve heard of The Logic in Canada.
Thejesh GN@m2m I like https://restofworld.org/
Tamandua@m2m byline times ?

In German(y) there are @correctiv_org and @Krautreporter which were AFAIK funded by crowdfunding and do investigative journalism on high-impact topics frequently.

For anyone looking to adjust their media diet, now’s a great time to consider escaping The Algorithms with RSS.

Totally international and also Creative Commons. Most authors are writing about their own regions, too.
Huubje@m2m bellingcat is pretty good. They cover the US, but the rest of the world too. They are on Mastodon.
michael aubert@m2m would https://www.nakedcapitalism.com qualify?
MegatronicThronBanksYes - RestOfWorld.

This is an independent German tech news site, that has very good content, some of it translated to English:
