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 truly hope it’s not just your bubble.
I keep seeing stuff on folks wrecking those public spy cameras and I almost start thinking people might wake up.
Same here, I just don’t think it in me to actually hope again, the despair that could follow might actually kill me
That the funny thing about hope. It’s a choice, not a feeling.
Or something like that. It was a nugget of wisdom from the K-pop movie my kids watched a million times.
So I know sports ain’t huge on Lemmy, but I was an Atlanta and UGA sports fan from the day I way born. Until 2021 there had been over 500 seasons of the teams I loved over around 150 years with something like 5 championships, only one I was alive for and it was the team I gave the least fuck about. The number of “almost getting to the mountain top and coming up heartbreakingly and comically short” I experienced during that time, and reality over the past 10 years has taught me one very helpful if not hopelessly bleak axiom, “without hope there can be no despair”
I want good things to happen, and will work for them to happen, but I’m not believing until I see it, because I can’t handle the highs and lows of that roller coaster anymore.
