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.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

I was starting to switch over all my services to european based ones but thry actually might do this worse. At least in the us congress people will fight about it forever (or at leadt they used to)
Its only a matter of time before they get Chat Control as well.
Nowhere is safe anymore.
Outside is!
Does Outside have porn?
Not the good kind.
Seriously, "just go outside" ignores that some people (like us) kinda need the internet to have community at all.
(We're furry, therian, and various other things. We can't just pick up a magazine or whatever and get furry porn of the exact kinks we're into. And even besides the whole porn thing. Also just, like... being able to talk to people. We need the internet for that, too.)

Isolating people like us is the point. We have to fight it
Yes, it’s in hedges.
Self hosting is the only real solution apparently, anything else gives power to corporations/governments to abuse.
Yeah i will use nextcloud but i am hosting it myself
And it's a lot harder to effectively enforce or combine with other services, such as ID, etc, because 50 states.
Fed can only do so much, and it only takes one state fighting it to cause it to fail or at least become bogged down.
Right, and i think it might ve unconstitutional but i would like it not to pass at all the wait for it to be repealed
