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 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:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
Jannies reserve the right to exile baby ducks from this hole at any time.
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. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

doesnt twitter do the same thing? i have to make an account to view most tweets
also i like how people in the replies literally think reddit is asking for an ID
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Twitter does this to me, yeah. Facebook does this, too. If you want information about a small business then you gotta give it up to the Zuckster. Several forums are like this. Pretty sure Groomercord is like this, too? At least some servers make you have a phone number, or at least email, linked to your account to view/post.
Eddy's argument is "You can't take a site that's half of the search results in Google's calcified, decrepit index and just say "no, you have to log even to view this in read-only mode." That's reprehensible." But they can though. They also did.

The difference is, people search google for Reddit threads that solve niche problems. I would bet a good number of impressions are from people that don't have accounts. I feel like twitter does not have the same type use case at all. Twitter probably doesn't show tweets for similar reasons as to why aevann has a slur filter in logged out mode

Make an account using a proxy at the public library two towns over, you can never be too paranoid. Buy a phone in a foreign country with cash and then use an extra number app for the 2FA. You can NEVER be too careful, they're in your walls, waiting to trans you

He's already got the glowies wanting him dead. Do you think he's scared of being put on fricking Kiwifarms or something?

I'm saying that the services and social media he uses tracks his location, monitor size, etc, literally everything so he's basically been handing his entire location + dox over to the glowies the entire time. Like are you going to tell me that opening up a twitter account under your real name is the same as doing so, and also telling your enemies "HEY I LIVE AT THIS EXACT STREET ADDRESS AND AT THIS EXACT APARTMENT NUMBER!!!"

Why didn't he flee to a country where the govt doesn't extradite and is also too incompetent to be able to institute a surveillance state. Like Vietnam, Cambodia, or any of the assorted Central and South American nations.

Like Ecuador?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I dunno about Ecuador. I've never committed treason, so I haven't looked into specific nations that I've never visited.
That being said, my first thought was Cuba. But Cuba, though run by gross incompetents, is probably more of a shithole than Russia. They also have a history of treating American defectors with suspicion and contempt.
Remember those American black power terrorists who hyjacked a bunch of planes in the 60s and 70s and flew to Cuba? Castro threw them in a squalid prison-like dormitory (known as Casa de Transitos or Hyjackers House) and the Cubans treated them so badly a bunch returned to the US despite knowing what awaited them.

I mentioned Ecuador cause Assange hid in their embassy and eventually got forced out. Any small country will prioritize minimizing econ damage burgers can cause if they want, with just presidential action, over the liberty of some burger citizen who just decided to show up. Burger state would also have gone after someone like Snowden a lot more vigorously than Assange who's basically just a journo. Like you can see with the Cuba thing they had their own Africans so it wasn't like a few more was somehow beyond the pale. But even Cuba, sanctioned to heck as it is, doesn't want to piss off burgers pointlessly. Russia and China are realistically only options and China refused him.
