Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
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.

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.

Even ignoring the pricing of these streaming services, having a Jellyfin server these days is basically mandatory for simple convenience sake. You can have everything in a single place on Jellyfin instead of having to deal with multiple services.
If your paid product is worse than free alternative you already failed as a business.
My partner was subscribed to Crave for ages. A little while back she was in the middle of a rewatch of Sons of Anarchy when the app started to act up and wouldn't work, so I grabbed a copy and put it on Jellyfin.
She was floored by how much immediately better the video quality was and cancelled Crave the next day. Shocked at how much worse the experience was with the paid service compared to free.
I currently don't have a spare device or whatever is needed to set up a server, but definitely agree with your point. Best I can do right now is having my shows/movies stored on a 1TB drive that's almost full and a 2TB drive I have yet to touch, which just works for me.
Your jellyfin server can just be your computer, it just needs to be running when you want to watch the content.
My desktop hasn't been shut down other than for quick system updates (and it's Linux so I do mean QUICK) in several months.
