On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

I've never heard of a company using McAfee. Do you work for a 7 person company? Even tiny 200 people shops at least run defender for endpoint.

Oh it's always big enterprises who run trash like McAfee or Symantec. If you are cool you use Crowdstrike so you can act smart and brag to the strippers after attending self-congratulatory tech industry conferences in Vegas

STOP POSTING ABOUT SNEED! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! ANONS ON 4CHAN SEND ME MEMES, ON GROOMERCORD IT'S FRICKING MEMES! I was on a board, right? and ALL OF THE THREAD was just sneed feed and seed memes. I-I showed season 11 episode 5 of the simpsons to my girlfriend and I said "hey babe, when the joke means frick and suck, HAHA DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DU DU NUH NUH NUH, I fricking looked at a barn and said "THAT'S A BIT SNEED" I went and bought a hooker, and I said "FRICK AND SUCK? MORE LIKE SEED AND FEED" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG
I can't fricking take it. I see an image of a random place posted and then I see it, I fricking see it. "Oh that looks kinda like the feed and seed" it started as. That's funny, that's a cool reference. But I kept going, I'd see a man who looks like sneed, I'd see a fat guy who looks like chuck, I'd see a barn that looked like feed and seed. And every time I'd burst into an insane, breath deprived laugh staring at the image as the words SNEED ran through my head. It's torment, psychological torture, I am being conditioned to laugh maniacly any time I see a simpsons reference. I can't fricking live like this... I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't! And don't get me fricking started on the words! I'll never hear the word feed again without thinking of sneed. Someone does something bad and I can't say anything other than "Frick." I could watch a man murder everyone I love and all I would be able to say is "frick and suck " and laugh like a fricking insane person. And the word "sneed" is ruined. The phrase "feed and seed" is ruined. I can't live anymore. Sneed has destroyed my fricking life. I want to eject myself from this plane of existence. MAKE IT STOP!

They have their uses in corporate. But they're mostly there so they can screw up necessary production systems and break the 10 terabyte backup that Marketing refuses to cleanup. When you try to disable the AV you're overbearing, micro managing, decided to return from retirement cause he's bored director, will get angry because AV should never be disabled. Even when the users can't work or backups can't complete.
