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.

I think it has to be focused on software or hardware as a rule.

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.

Fair enough, I would have thought most things would be related to either hardware or software but I could be overlooking something. I was just trying to propose a sensible approach that could be a starting point.
