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 have yet to see UK election officials being caught on CCTV stuffing ballet boxes.
I have yet to see the Police arresting people for being gay in public.
I have yet to see the BBC be handed notes live on air and completely change the narrative around an ongoing war.
So yeah, the original comment saying "the UK is more authoritarian than Russia" is insane hyperbole.
Ironically, your comment about the UK being halfway to as authoritarian as somewhere like Russia is more interesting as we can get into the details as how they are currently similar and how much further the UK would have to slide to be there, and presumably how to stop it.
again, so you want to see all the boxes ticked before you call a spade a spade?... not a great strategy but you do you
No, but there is this:

No, but there is this:
https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/64534/how-the-government-captured-the-bbc
And so what's your threshold for calling a spade a spade? Is a trowel a spade? Is a spoon a spade? Is a flat bit of wood a spade?
Do you understand the concept of neuance or shades of grey or do you doggedly stick to black and white?
Must be blissfull to see the world with strict category boundaries and be willingly ignorant of anything on a spectrum that doesn't fit into your nice and neat categories.
Not my thing, but you do you boo.
Dude my point is as follows:
Instead, you call it hyperbole and proceed to explain why it's hyperbole and refuse to discuss any merit. That is just being pedantic.
OP: "so a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar"
You: "no, I refuse to hear the joke because it's extremely unlikely religious people of different denominations drink together at bars"
I do, which is why, I understand calling the UK worse than Russia is hyperbole but still get the gist of the comment
Are you talking about yourself? refusing to even acknowledge the gist of the OP comment because it is hyperbole and not a check list like the one you provided?
Palestine Action is a terror group. They committed violent terror acts against the UK and got designated as such in response. It doesn't matter if you're a senile 83 year old woman, it's still illegal to support a terror group.
Wtf is that "prospect magazine" link? Looks like some weird anti-jew conspiracy website. I really hope you don't get your news from places like that.
Sesame Street is a terror group. They commited violent terror acts against the UK and got designated as such in response. It doesn't matter if you're a senile 83 year old woman, it's still illegal to support a terror group.
Wtf is that “BBC” link? Looks like some weird anti-muppet conspiracy website. I really hope you don’t get your news from places like that.
This you? Choking on a bag of boots and dicks?
You’re a fucking joke and your progeny will be ashamed to be descended from such a milquetoast rat.
sure brother.. I guess all these people asking for a stop the genocide were also tERroRisTSs

keep your head in the sand as long as you feel safe... just be aware that when fascism has taken over and satisfies your definition, it will be too late.. just look at USA
