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.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Robin Hood figures comparatively - the AI execs stole our data, our resources, and fucked the supply lines on more than we can imagine AND they’re using it to power fascist surveillance apparatuses.

Anything to hurt the suits in their pockets is a win for the people.

So I know I’m in several lil online bubbles where most people agree with me, and maybe that’s tainting my perspective, but I’m noticing more and more folks at work and out and about that seem to be completely fucking fed up and getting angrier

Same here, I just don’t think it in me to actually hope again, the despair that could follow might actually kill me

So I know sports ain’t huge on Lemmy, but I was an Atlanta and UGA sports fan from the day I way born. Until 2021 there had been over 500 seasons of the teams I loved over around 150 years with something like 5 championships, only one I was alive for and it was the team I gave the least fuck about. The number of “almost getting to the mountain top and coming up heartbreakingly and comically short” I experienced during that time, and reality over the past 10 years has taught me one very helpful if not hopelessly bleak axiom, “without hope there can be no despair”

I want good things to happen, and will work for them to happen, but I’m not believing until I see it, because I can’t handle the highs and lows of that roller coaster anymore.

It's not just about hurting executives. Hindering data center operations is honestly a public service.
