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.

I'm not your "buddy", guy.
"Like.", as a single word sentence, especially when written or typed, conveys nothing. Inferring something about what only the word "Like" is trying to say with that one word dilutes any meaning in what was previously stated.
That's my point. It's language, yes, but used stupidly. People use "like" as a one-word sentence in real life and sound dumb when they do it. Same as "just saying". Neither convey any further meaning or elucidation of a previous point.
While language certainly evolves and I wouldn't call myself the "King of English", as you say, I am perfectly and "morally" within my rights to opine, loudly even, that the use of "like" as a one-word sentence is (once more, with feeling) stupid and meaningless.
In the words of Charles Bronson, "Take those pearls you're clutchin' and shove 'em up your ass."
This is not a matter of "dialect". It's a matter of shitty usage of words that don't literally, metaphorically, or allegorically mean anything, in context.
I've been called worse than "dumb". Your opinion of what I am in this situation means precisely dick-cheese to me. I don't know if you're trying to change my mind, but if you want to call me "dumb", knock yourself out.
When you get diagnosed with cancer, I hope your doctor, with all the vocal fry they can muster, says, "So you're, like, gonna die. Like. Just saying."
I said what I said and I, again, am happy to die on this hill.
Like.
You don't think getting upset over "Like." is pearl clutching?
No.
Claiming that I'm "morally" wrong over my statement that "Like." as a single-word sentence means nothing is "pearl clutching".
