Guidelines:
What to Submit
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!
In Submissions
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.
In Comments
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.
Miscellaneous:
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.

So I should buy?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Nah it needs more time and testing. They also need to bring the price down by at least $1,000
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
But if they reduce the price it means lower quality right???
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I think it's overpriced for what it is. The specs are super unimpressive
If they build up their supply chains some more, there shouldn't be any real reason why they can't reduce the price and make more sales.

jesus i stopped following this project years ago and they still haven't shipped
i checked out when they raised the price from $600ish for a low end phone to over $1000
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
So they did completely ship some 2018-2019 orders and the USA version (literally $2k lol) will ship in 10 days from order.
It’s still incredible how they haven’t gone through the backlog lmfao

It bothers me that phones are so neglected by linux neckbeards. linux desktops can do almost anything but if you wanna run linux on a phone you're restricted to using some overpriced shit by some company that will be out of business in 2 years.

That’s kind of whats going on with this and PinePhone. It’s kind of a joke still but I can’t deny there’s a LOT of code being worked on with phosh, postmarketOS, UBports, etc.

How much cheaper would it be to just flash graphene OS onto a phone instead? I like the idea of safe hardware in devices but how feasible really is it in newer hardware? Libreboot has modern compatibility problems right?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Unrelated to libreboot but same demographic.
This hardware was slow/outdated in 2018.
Yes Graphene would be better but just keep in mind the modems of all modern phones have total root access.

modem is iommu'd off in grapheneos on supported devices iirc. No DMA capability.

Why is eating a cow better than fricking it? I honestly don't understand bloodmouth logic.
Frick a cow:
1. It forgets it 10 minutes later, tops.
2. It might even enjoy it.
3. No harm is done unless you're like, super rough I guess? A bull peepee is 25 inches long, your sad little human peepee isn't going to disturb a heifer.
4. In a vacuum, once the s*x is done, the cow can go on and live a full and complete life with the r*pe having 0 impact on it.
Kill a cow:
1. It's dead.
2. It's dead.
3. It's dead.
4. It's fricking dead
