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.

Nah not at defcon, unless you're a speaker you get turbo dorks shuffling in there with their pi led gimmick devices all trying to show off some basic shit. At least that's how it was last time I was there in 2016. I'm sure it's more.... Trainy now.

would you recommend going to it or any other security convention? I was thinking that you could learn a lot and meet cool people who'll know stuff but then I remembered the people in my uni's cybersecurity team and I'm guessing everyone will be weirdo's

For networking I highly recommend Bsides. I started with BsidesDC and met the guys that started Mandiant where they got bought by Google for like 5 billion.
Like see if you can get an in as a runner and you can meet some people and make connections if you're super into cyber security.

A defining, and overtly stated, characteristic of the original iPhone is that the average sized hand can reach the upper left corner with the thumb. Steve Jobs was hardline about "the phone that does everything" being limited to that screen size because of his design/form credo.
Personally I have always enjoyed the ability to sideload apps onto any smartphone I've ever had. I still consider the Palm Treo to be superior to the latest generation iPhone simply because of this.
I've on my 4th android device and consider any iPhone my work gave me to be an overpriced paperweight due to how closed its features are.

That's interesting.
While I do still view my phone as a computer I think it's still a fantastic device for things I want out of a smartphone.
Once the EU forces sideloading we may get best of both worlds.

My Moto Droid X was ahead of its time. It had a Micro HDMI output alongside its charger. I would kill for all phones to have that.

Not to be a dongle bro but you should be able to just shove a USB-C to HDMI adapter into your phone.
Why you're connecting your phone to a TV...you do you

1. Mobile pirating/media device. Run Popcorn Time from your phone directly to the TV.
2. Mobile console. I have tons of Emulators and a wireless joystick. I've used a dongle before to do this, but the charging option on it doesn't keep pace with battery consumption.

That gives me an idea of a device that's like the Razer Kishi but also has an HDMI out
Kind of like the most jank switch ever.

I bought a docking station for my Deck. I use it almost entirely for console emulation these days because I don't have many non-pirated PC games. Once I actually start buying stuff on Steam I'll get it set up with my wireless m/kb to a TV and rock out on a huge screen.
