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.

At time of writing, the top posts on this sub are about meta's influence over politics, the enduring value of physical media, someone made an art gallery in doom, and Meta's lack of censorship and how that affects minorities. This community is absolutely on topic discussing technology news and if you think otherwise, you are being absurd.

If you're looking for articles about how some university claims they've invented a new battery 1 million times as powerful, stop diluting yourself. "Corporate shenanigans" of big tech companies IS TECHNOLOGY NEWS. Any statement to the contrary is pure hallucination about a world that never existed.

stop diluting yourself.

I hate to be that guy, but… it’s “deluding” in this context, unless OP is adding water to their body.

This post about science fiction, The next thing is about a Supreme Court ruling on Tiktok.

I think I've made my point. There's almost no reason someone's interest in technology would bring them here. It's mostly political, social and business issues that happen to pertain to tech companies.

Your post inspired me to share a video about some wacky CES products.

I think I committed a few cardinal sins because it did not go well. Haha

Following that line of reasoning, Zuckerberg buying a yacht is also tech news. 🙄

You're the one being absurd.
