There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. https://selfcontrolapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

It is SelfControl. It is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time. The moment you click the button no matter what you do, you can forget about accessing those websites until the time is over; there is no cancel button. Restarted mac won't work, you can delete the app no luck. Source: 6 months ago

The SelfControl app lets you specify web sites that will be blocked. When you run the app, you specify a countdown timer, during which time those apps will be inaccessible. Source: 6 months ago

When google did this long ago: https://news.google.com/ I knew the new industry was going to collapse. What more do you need from a new aggregator? Journalism was doomed since though. I had tried https://ground.news/ but never stuck with it. I like the idea but it fails at dimension. There is no left vs center vs right in Canada. Politics in Canada and Europe is 3 dimensional at least with wormholes in our... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

I have found ground.news [1] decent, it limits the AI to creating quick summaries and assessing which side of the political spectrum news articles and organisations fall. The rest is up to the reader. 1. https://ground.news/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Alarmist claims aside, there are a lot of verifiable stories in the right-wing media bubble that are completely unknown to people in the left-wing bubble, and vice-versa. I really dig https://ground.news/ just for giving some perspective on who's (not) getting exposed to what. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
