A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I try not to editorialize headlines too much when I post, which means if the headline is clickbait it stays, even if the article content that talks about something else. Depending on how egregious I'll add something to the body or append it to the title.
Please, summarize the article instead of regurgitating their bad titles - or even better don't post links from sources that use bad clickbaity titles.
We don't have to let Lemmy devolve into Facebook/Twitter/reddit/...
To give you an example, I posted about "ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES" and linked to the Ubisoft article about it. They had the title all capitalized, not me, so I just added "- Ubisoft" at the end to show it was the official announcement.
I wrote at length in the body about what that means for Steam, Ubisoft's plan for Rocksmith subscription service, what people might need to access Custom DLC before it stops being sold, to drive discussion on several related topics to this announcement.
