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

2. Use original link

This is a one two punch, not only does it hurt Russia's interests, it may cost the GOP in the upcoming election. Nice way to respond to Trump buying Russian Diesel.
Right before the midterms in America.
This is gonna be bad for MAGA
Is anyone really on the fence anymore?
Oh god, so many are on the fence still in Idiot America.
The poll gave numerous signs that Trump's low popularity was weighing heavily on his Republican Party, with registered voters preferring Democrats over Republicans by 44% to 37% less than a month before the November 3 election. Among independents, Democrats led 37% to 21%, with 28% of independent registered voters still undecided.
JFC in a handbasket what the ?!? I guess some people don’t really give a shit what happens and just vote so they can say they participated.
Vermin Supreme where are you!
American conservatives would elect to get cancer if it had an (R) next to its name. That is, so long as they can fuel up the massive trucks they use to stand in for their tiny cocks, but Trump fucked up diesel pricing.
I'm guessing 15% are starting to wonder.
By "Yandex bot" and "Russian bot" what do they mean?
Do we mean "bot", like a social media account that pretends to be an authentic human user, but is actually a "bot", or some other version of something inauthentic? Or do we mean the crawlers that Yandex sends out to crawl websites to refresh its search index?
Search engine crawlers.

Bot traffic describes any non-human Internet traffic...
Ok, so that's a pretty inoffensive form of bot. It's not the bots pretending to be real people, which is what I think of when I hear "Russian Bot".
It's presumably also better behaved than the crawlers used by the AI companies. Those just refresh indices, but they're way more aggressive than the ones typically used by search companies, and often don't respect the robots.txt file.
Of course the reason of using the term 'bot' rather than crawler or just automated traffic is a specific framing.
And yet i am still here
~~This is in ukraine’s best iterest.~~
~~Russian (and Chinese among others) bots drive political unrest, primarily by supporting right wing and nationalist provocateurs to destabilize governments that support Ukraine or NATO.~~
~~If Zelensky can silence the trolls, he has a better chance at continued support.~~
Disregard. It’s Yandex bots, not troll farm bots.
Ah, but the troll farms use Yandex
They don’t use Yandex, but it appears they might share datacenter resources.
I don’t know anything about the linked source or how trustworthy it is.
More!
RIP search engine that still gives good piracy results.
You'll be missed.
That's true. Google is so censored you can't find anything. And on the other hand, dark web search engines let you find things you'd rather not know about
