tech/science swag.
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 non-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 real 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.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

They still think the seven or so blind guys who use reddit matter - or that they matter more than banning a CP subreddit - reddit jannies cannot possibly be this r-slurred

What a read. They demand that Reddit hire a "Chief Accessibility Officer," who has the authority to:
So basically the 0.00001% of reddit users who are blind demand full authority over all changes made to the entire platform.
What would we do without redditors

Dude the disabled are an insane lobby. Website accessibility officers have this much authority for a reason.
You do not want to frick with blindies. My friend used to sperg out over this shit, the company was terrified of them, they'd delay and test website changes over and over.

And at the same time the woke shit hasn't done anything for legit crips who just want reasonable accommodation, not attention. In practice you can discriminate as much as you want in work, housing, & education with no legal or social consequences as long as the victim isn't in a "community" that's organized.

It's because of ADA shit, I don't think they would do it for Reddit (although they might), but the government is cracking down on websites and software that is not ADA compliant.
You can look it up but I think there were lawsuits where the government was suing places like rite-aid because it was hard for blindies to sign up for the jab online.

This whole drama really has just been grifters grifting grifters.
Admins want money for API access
Apollo is doing lifetime subs with no refunds
The blind stuff is just a way for people to angle for accessibility jobs
Even the mods who do it for free, I think a lot probably had delusions they would somehow get a seat at the table/more power.
It wouldn't surprise me if BardFinn in their mind thinks their PowerJannying will somehow lead them to some sort of money/power.

That's a common reddit echo-chamber effect: they keep repeating a talking point and getting upvoted, with any pushback if at all getting downvoted, until they utterly convince themselves that this is actually a very valid and cool thing to say. The only differences here is that the thing is unusually r-slurred (reddit explicitly said that it won't throttle apps specifically catering to the blind btw) and you're not a part of the echo-chambers where those redditors get indoctrinated, so when they emerge from there and blurt it out in the open that's a big "the frick are you on" moment lol.

Seriously, i was never around for it. What exactly was posted to /r/jailbait? Nude photos of 15 year olds, or creepshots of 17 year olds in swimsuits? Both are obviously wrong but one is way bigger of a deal to still be using as evidence a decade later.
