Summary: For those looking for a diversity of sources (not just TAZ, which is officially in Geminispace) there's another option which targets German/English readers

LAST year we wrote about SimplyNews (gemini:/simplynews.metalune.xyz), which generally syndicated about a dozen news sites and offered their articles over gemini:// (the Gemini Protocol, port 1965 by default). I've used that capsule for nearly a year, but a couple of months ago it became unavailable (unreachable for at least a month already; did copyright get in the way like with gemini://dw.schettler.net?). It is a sad loss. But now we have the official TAZ (in German) and the German/English gemini://gemini.autonomy.earth/, which is demonstrated in the short video above. Now that even Mozilla is in bed with the advertising "industry" (looking to appease those who track and profile people) we need to gradually move away from the Web, at least to the extent feasible. There are almost no benign players (with clout and significance) left on the Web. Gemini is not perfect for privacy, but it is a step in a positive direction. ⬆
