tech/science swag.
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!
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 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.

Reminded me of a guy named Tihiy who created a "Windows 98 Revolution" pack. I used to host a subdomain for him.
It was Windows 98, but he was able to get things like transparency, window skins, and 32-bit icon color support working natively rather than a "draw over apps" method.

It was really good but imo the skits were totally unneeded (although I guess if you're not 100% maybe they are)

I liked the skits because it was still pretty informative. I haven't thought about Delphi in probably 15 years and never really understood what .Net Framework was.
I definitely understand the "ok here's a picture of Elmo because what else am I gonna put on the screen?". I'm having that same struggle with my video.
Don't forget to Follow me so you can be the first to see the next installment of my goddarn "adding lane assist to a vehicle nobody bought" test videos. Next one is an updated face dox with 30% less awkwardness!
Edit: ok yeah the skits did start getting to be a bit too much and kept breaking the flow

I thought it spiced it up a bit in the effort department though it def felt a little "escape hatch" for normies lol.

I guess some people are less immune to the bread tube style skits but I think it adds charm.
The content inside is extremely original and technical though.

i assumed it was generic 'i bumbled around and did absolutely nothing so i could have an excuse to make a 6-minute sponsored video' like Modern Vintage G*mer or Linus Tech Tips. Nothing more than just copy-pasting files from Windows XP to 95 and saying 'eh it didn't work, weird'.
But if it's MattKC, then he must have actually done shit that would tickle my autism.

Oh, you "use arch BTW." Do you expect a Reddit gold? Naw, I ain't no kind stranger. If you brag about your operating system online, then I can't even imagine how much of an butthole you are in real life. Great, you know how to read a fricking manual, and you know basic English. Jesus fricking Christ, you arch-kiddies are so toxic saying "I use Arch BTW" as if it's tough to install. Oh wow you're typing simple commands into a fricking tty. You do realize that Arch Linux is just a binary distro, that uses systemD (a shitty init system for n00bs). The Arch Linux community is full of edgy 15 year olds who act like they're superior. If you actually want to learn the inner workings of Linux, you should use Gentoo. Gentoo is a source based distro with OpenRC (an actually decent init system), that is actually hard to install. There is no manual for Gentoo, so you actually have to use critical thinking skills instead of copying and pasting commands into a tty. For Gentoo you have to fine tune the system to your exact hardware instead of just running "pacstrap" like a n00b on an archiso. It takes a long time to install Gentoo. It took an entire decade to compile the kernel from a stage 1 tarball onto my IBM Thinkpad 69420 (bought from my local used-thinkpad-store for 10 cents) with and the Core i-21 ultra-supreme extra-spicy CPU literally turned into ionized plasma and burnt my entire neighboorhood to the ground and the kernel took an entire decade to compile. After that I had to manually write the wifi-driver in ed ( a good text editor ) and compile them with -O7 gcc compiling flags. After the entire installaton I booted up the Gentoo installation and it used an entire 1 kilobyte less of RAM than Arch Linux. Arch-kiddies like you wouldn't have the patience to compile Gentoo. The Gentoo community is very nice and humble and doesn't brag about their OS (unlike you elitist buttholes). So instead of saying "I use Arch BTW", just shut the frick up!!!
