What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

The psh for all this surveillance may actually be a bit of achilles heel for these authoritarian schmucks.
My experience is that rural, Conservative types, really REALLY hate surveillance. My MIL won't do anything (pay bills, banking, dorctor stuff, anuthing) online, for example. She is worried it will get snooped and stolen.
This isn’t true! Cameras fall down all the time. It’s just part of their natural life cycle once a camera pole reaches a certain height.
Ahh, yeah.. those poles would live for centuries but for the weird, newly evolved Termitodae Metalliferans Floccus which is now being discovered up in more parts of the area.
Interesting creature! Selective adaptation at it's best, I'd say.
This is one that I will not consider an invasive species.
Cameras prevent crimes, no? Then this crime didn't happen in the first place and everyone is safe.
God forbid whomever it is has a hobby.
Reminds me of Mord auf dem Abort (Murder on the privy), a German folk song about a count who loudly farts towards the commoners in his village every morning. Because he does this from one of those toilets which juts out from the castle wall, the commoners decide to sabotage the wooden supports during the night. The next morning, the count goes to do his business, only for the toilet to collapse. He ends up falling to his death, landing unceremoniously in a pile of his own sewage. The local officials carry out an investigation to find out who did it, but everyone refuses to say who did it. Then when the investigators leave, everyone celebrates having helped to kill the count.
Only 8? I swear I see more and more every day where I live
Very small town.
Sisters, doing it for ourselves...
