Since nothing in this community is about technology we might as well talk about science fiction. (lemmy.world)

All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

+1 for an actual tech focused community. I think it has to be focused on software or hardware as a rule. News about stocks, CEOs, rebranding etc should not be allowed. Maybe put them in tech_news or something.

I want to read about what new feature the openbsd folks are working on or innovations by the quebes os team or a new RISC based laptop or the raspberry pi 420 that can play half life 3.

I don't. Those fields are but small slivers in the realm of technology, and they're not even particularly novel any more. A community dedicated to one or both of them might make sense, but there's no reason to let them dominate the technology community.

News about stocks, CEOs, rebranding etc should not be allowed.

I agree with you there.

"Business" also exists. If it's news about the business, not the technology, it should go to Business.

It might be too technical for some, but Linux Weekly News (lwn.net) has been a long-running source of articles dating back to the 1990s, if memory serves aright, that's kind of in that ballpark.

EDIT: Hmm. It looks like at some point, some of their articles went subscriber-only, though.
