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.

Used an Onyx Boox or whatever for eight or nine months last (?) year. Liked it a lot. And REALLY wish Kobo would "steal" the idea of just letting me sync notes straight to a webdav rather than having to shenanigans. Of course... the Booxes ALSO have mysterious traffic to and from Chinese servers which puts a damper on using it for anything meaningful.
But I think my biggest issue was kind of... the thing that made the Onyx so good. I loved that it was a (really jank) android device for the purposes of accessing kindle and whatever else. But that meant it was also incredibly unstable and it increasingly made it clear that android app design philosophy is designed for fast updating displays, not e-ink.
And while I think I could have found a third party e-reader app... the built in one is REAL shit and clearly designed with having a few PDFs in memory rather than actually being a "library on the go".
So I ended up getting a Kobo and am super happy. I still occasionally grab my onyx if I am playing an older game and want to put a prima guide or whatever on the side but... yeah.
Also apparently the onyx was incredibly fragile? I never noticed a problem but saw LOTS of carnage pictures of people who put it in a too tightly packed bag.
