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.
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

Debloated and castrated W10 is not as shitty as older systems if you look at it now, PowerShell is kinda neat and useful, standalone Office apps are slowly getting better and the corruption of their interfaces happened more than a decade ago in Vista times. I like Win+Shift+S screenshot shortcut, Win+arrow movement of windows, middle-mouse scrolling that I can't correctly emulate on Linux. Their driver storage and search made plug-n-play less of a joke than it was before, like 50% of the time you don't even need to look for drivers. Your fresh installation media usb stick can also serve for in-place update if you click its' Setup.exe while booted, and it helped me to unfuck a lot of borked systems. All of these come wirh a lot of shit, but, like, w10 era before co-pilot was a golden age for Win PCs, and it also brought a shared subscription between their xbox consoles and pcs. And if they worked on top of that, improved it, I could've stayed there. But they did everything to make me switch to Linux, and with further downgrades, ads and neuro-bullshit I'm happy I got the best MS did and wasn't there to experience their products at their worst.
I was a loyal Windows user for nearly 30 years and they pushed me to Linux, too. The upside is that Linux is really great.
They are allergic to anything that is working well.
Are they allergic to pineapple pieces on pizza tho 🤔
That'd probably decide this decade-old question.
