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.

I have a pair of thick black frames from Zenni, that I just realized some people have probably thought were Meta glasses.
Do they really look as bad as in the picture with Zuck wearing them? I mean, I know they suck for a whole bunch of reasons, but I thought they'd at least look okay...
This shit should be banned everywhere. Fuck meta, fuck zuckercunt, and fuck these pay for spy glasses.
wish we would collectively start to frown upon cameras built into most of daily use devices and facilities
Like phones, laptops, and doorbells?
It's a start.
Also, don't give them back, destroy them, make THAT the law. I think people wouldn't "forget" that way.
That might be a bit heavy handed, and could be applied to other things. Just stick with the simple, you can't enter the building, period. If you sneak something in, you get removed, and maybe fined. No destruction of property, but same results.
Fuck off.
