The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost 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 formatPost 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] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry 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.

Why did the name get changed? U.S.A. needed another ego stroke? Our public perception of nonstop ego-masturbation slowing down?

Reminds me of when I posted "Trump's white nationalist America" to a place right wingers frequent. They freaked out pretty hard. Gee, I wonder why.

He's mad all right.

Other documents that mention "the gulf of Mexico" will become unenforceable.
