It has built in javascript simulators.

Why don’t you support the paper and buy a subscription?

Because it isn't nearly worth $90 to me, I barely ever read any of their articles.

It's also not something I can look at before deciding whether I want to pay for it, not like a product in a shop or something I can order and return (unused) for 14 days. If paying 50 cents for this article was possible, I would have no idea what I'm getting (beyond the title "Corona Simulator") or whether it's worth it, though a one-time 50 cents charge would definitely be more considerable than a recurring and more expensive subscription.

Where do you get your news?

General news? Most things that actually impact my life, people (colleagues, friends, family) will tell me about it; the rest mostly passes me by. Some comes from HN, and when there is a big story I'll sometimes browse to nos.nl, but that's about it.

Tech news I keep up with at Tweakers.net, where I have a subscription. Well, and HN again of course, but a lot of that is personal blogs, show/ask HN posts, and a minority of what I click is research/tech news which then breaks down further into many different outlets.

I also use Reddit but the closest sub I have to news is r/globaltalk, so that's mostly people talking about what's going on near them and not journalists that need to be paid.
