What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Seriously you'd have to be an absolute idiot who somehow got their hands on too much money to think these were a good idea to purchase. The concept is great, but wearing Facebook on your face is bonkers.
I'm not a fan of the concept at all. I'm not comfortable going out in public and having someone fillm me with their phone camera, so I'm extra uncomfortable with people walking around with cameras affixed to their faces.
Yeah that side of it is a significant issue, I guess I meant the concept of augmented reality glasses that can run an overlay on the world is great. But you're right, it doesn't work without some kind of camera to work out where to orient the overlay and that camera needs to be pretty constant. The issue of recording everyone everywhere aside (and that's big thing to put aside) there are other significant issues like relying on a product supplier to not cover everything in ads or not harvest the video feeds and sell them or use them to train other products. Even if they say they'll never do those things .. the next CEO might not give a damn aboutthat commitment.
It's only going to keep getting worse until it somehow blows up in some way huge enough to get the vast majority of morons to actually care enough to fight it. I unfortunately have little hope for that happening in my lifetime.
