I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz
I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz
Just seems like everything is "this company did this to their employees" and less about "this novel messaging protocol offers these measured pros and cons." Or similar
And yes, I could post things, but I'm referring to what hits the top, 12h.
Can anyone rec communities with less of a biz and politics and wfh vs in-office vibe?
Please stop reporting this as "not tech related, rule 2", we welcome the feedback.
Our stance has been, if it's in a gray area of "tech" such as tech business related, and users upvote it: that must be what the majority wants.
We will be discussing this more, as it seems some people want strictly tech related content and none of the gray area content.

60Check out Ars Technica. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that the are more technical than average news sources. For example, when they report on a software security vulnerability, they’ll actually go into the command line and try it for themselves. Pretty good reporters which more than basic tech knowledge, if you ask me…
46There is a "Business" community, ideally the mods should remove any links that are "company a lays off workers" or "Elon Musk is stupid again" and re-direct them to Business, where the business decisions belong.
32I bring this up all the time when I can be arsed and people always rebute with "but it's about a company that makes/uses tech", completely missing the point I was making saying that shouldn't be the criteria for content here. It's exhausting.
31Https://news.ycombinator.com is the gold standard, there are some Lemmy bots following it as well
26On Reddit we had r/hardware which was great for this
Here we have !hardware@lemmy.ml but I haven't checked it out much yet
24You are not going to get that at any of the larger communities. We'll need to grow the niche communities instead, more specific to your interests.
Could you please take a look at https://fediverser.network to see if gives you anything interesting?
18The problem is all the s*** we really want to hear about all the companies are keeping close to their breast.
Then, when something actually novel and interesting comes out it ends up being polarizing. We can only consume so much Chat GPT Gemini Bard crap.
We should start a tech community on the federal verse about technologies people are passionate about. Get some people to talk about cool s*** they've done with Wyoming, Piper and whisper. Maybe have some people talk about their local mini installs of LLMS, for how they're getting the most out of stable diffusion. Maybe some people looking at Obsidian or Anytype, maybe some NixOS
There's lots of cool stuff out there to cover there's just not a lot of news about it these days. If it's not AI they're afraid people's eyes will just glaze over.
17I can post any technology related outside of tech biz but mostly it's not a popular thing here, many of articles are too technical, hardly any discussion, even worse there are articles that you won't like it. For example, I can post the good thing about EVs today and another day I can post the downside of EVs battery to environment, and I get the heat.
Posting in niche community? Not enough MAU, I'v tried in c/collapse, c/cybersecurity etc, no discussion.
c/technology is just a mirror of r/technology

10It's off site, but hackaday.com is great for (mostly) electronics and computer tech articles.
7Most technology news your average layman is interested in is ads for new products and how tech companies turn out to not be so great to work for. I think that's why most news that appear on top don't really cover the fun stuff.
7Hey, if you don't like it you can get the hell out of r/Elon, we don't want you here!
oh...wait
4@GBU_28 I see what you mean!
The smaller tech communities seem to have a better signal to noise ratio, I was in !technology@kbin.social the other day and it's mostly posts about actual tech.
4This is one of the reason that I think the @L4s@lemmy.world bot should have retired a while back. !technology@lemmy.world already the biggest comm on this platform that it doesn't need a repost bot from reddit, and having it around inevitably turns this community into a duplicate of r/technology which is more tech business and privacy than it is about interesting tech.
However, you can say that this is also an advantage of Lemmy over reddit, since if you don't like the content of !technology@lemmy.world, you can always use another technology comm like !technology@lemmy.ml or start your own, instead of making something like r/truetechnology or something like that as on reddit. (This is also the reason why I don't think community merging is a good idea on the server side.)

0"I wish there were more articles about the shiny emeralds and how valuable they are and not about the dead, exploited children working in the mines"
You see OP, that's you. ^
Both articles are out there, one is just more important as prevalent topic right now because of the human beings in the mix.
