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.

We really should have educational bumper stickers for passersby/fellow motorists to properly inform them of certain facts. In the interest of increased awareness of these and other current events, of course. A civic duty, even. 🤷🏼♂️
Everyone joked about meth heads, but it was always going to be organized and seni-organized crime.
If a single semi trailer has over 1 million dollars worth of anything in it, people are going to want it.
When it's materials like cable that can't be tracked and can be easily sold to corrupt contractors...
A lot of smart people are really going to want it. Those trailers are going to be like tide for organized crime, they won't even bother converting it into cash, it'll be used as direct currency.
Oh no! In other news who gives a shit, it's all stolen from us anyway.
Not thieves, redistrubtors of natural resources
Fair use
godspeed
Fast and the Furious reboot where instead of boosting dvd players it's data center equipment.
So they listened to the repeatedly shared meme, then?
I hope they don’t find out that surveillance cameras aren’t behind locked doors
I heard those things could carry a good load of copper.
What can I say except thank goodness?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
To me this feels like the largest thing people have agreed upon in a very long time. I have no solid numbers but it just feels like the opinions have shifted. I saw it happen in real time at my job with my coworkers. There's still people hyped on AI bs but It feels like people are becoming educated on the pros and cons of AI and when it's actually useful vs what we're using it for.
I'm hoping we can see some positive changes sooner rather than later.
god bless those crackheads
What? Who? Nah, I didn't see nobody.
