also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don't pay wall on the web page.

New York times - https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology abc - https://abcnews.go.com/technology

the hill - https://thehill.com/policy/technology/ BBC news - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology

while nonprofit Npr doesn't pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of "expected a paywall not our style please donate" that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/

Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.

I can't read Reuters links on my mobile because they keep demanding I provide my email. I can still view Reuters articles on my desktop without providing email. I'm not sure why it works on desktop and not on mobile. I refuse to link Reuters articles to Lemmy now.

Refuse my man... anyway the reason between the platform wonkiness is their target demo are normies using phones. So avoiding the restriction on PC is just them not coding it to be restricted on PC platform.

Many such cases. Normies love their mobile doom scrolling lives
