    How’s “no”? Does “no” work?

      Say it to a cop and find out?

      (Please, don’t.)

    I’d be down for a compromise

    However that’s probably not what Flock wants

    No kidding. Their proposed safety features to stop police stalking make the police accountable to themselves. Oh, and the police can shut off some of those safety features, and again, it’s up to the police to catch them.

    The world is one big kangaroo court and we gave all the children guns.

      Let’s be clear, the kids with guns we’re focused on (as a “country”) are the ones bringing them to school, and it’s the no-dick “adult” backbirths with guns who’re the salient problem here.

        That was not at all clear.

          Which part? The kids shooting up their schools or the “police” who piss themselves when tasked with actually doing their fucking jobs? 😅

            Oh I see, you’re off on your own tangent here. I was wondering why you responded to me.

                You’re in your own little world, aren’t you? This looks like a pointless debate waiting to happen, so I’m out.

    Might be off-topic, but back in my youth, the night before Halloween was Devil’s Night: when Detroit was lit by the flames of ill-conceived arson & related “pranks”. 🤷🏼‍♂️

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.

7. Instance rules may apply

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