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
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

YouTube kids is far more dangerous than regular YouTube.
How come?

No it's not. Stop this made up non sense 🤣
Ehh. I find that regular YouTube will do a much better job at keeping on track with whatever kid stuff we put on than YouTube kids. I don't put YouTube stuff on for the kids but my wife will throw on a bluey compilation or something when the tv is "not working" and usually it will stay on bluey related stuff. Even with the rest of the recommendations being "old fart yells about something related to open source" and "murder podcast"
My wife used to put on YouTube kids but it would just go wild. We'd start with a bluey compilation and the next thing it would autoplay would be either some show for teenagers or an ai video where the characters sound like they're constantly having an orgasm.
My mother in law made the mistake of putting on YouTube kids a few months ago, my son wanted a specific paw patrol episode that she couldn't find on whatever streaming service they use so she put it on YouTube. She said she put it on, went to do some dishes and a little bit later heard someone talking about beating and/or killing their parents.
Now all their shows are on jellyfin with an account that only has access to their library. No surprises, nothing inappropriate, my in laws can access and navigate it easily.
Heads up: If you're looking for anything more, all of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is on Internet Archive. My kid isn't old enough to navigate anything like Jellyfin themselves yet, but it's been a good calm show for when we need her to start settling down.
I did need to rename them so they'd be recognized though, which was a pain in the ass.
The *arr stack will automatically rename things in a way that Jellyfin will recognize, and they're no more difficult to set up than Jellyfin itself. I highly recommend using them to manage your media library.
If you need to rename files, try using FileBot.
Jellyfin is a honestly pretty good solution
I miss the old Kids TV channels that were age appropriate, entertaining and educational
PBS kids is still ok, except Caillou.
