I’m just not interested in hearing what bullshit FAANG is up to, I want to talk about linux kernel patches and raspberry pi revisions and maybe hear what people other than grifters are doing with neural networks.
You just need a mod team willing to enforce those rules.
Check out hackaday maybe? It’s primarily hobbyist stuff, but they’ve been peppering in some original pieces about tech innovations and trends.
At the very least, nobody is trying to sell you anything.
I’ve wanted something like that as well. I’m currently playing around with BlueSky feeds to get streams of science and technology content. Lemmy’s technology communities are often tech drama and or Linux stuff, and miss out on other things that are happening in the industry.
If you put it into a starter pack, let me know.
Ah please could you post some recommendations on who to follow on Bluesky?
Probably Hackaday. https://lemmy.world/c/hackaday@rss.ponder.cat
Link - !hackaday@rss.ponder.cat
Fuck knows why Lemmy doesn’t link to both the same way, seems daft
No.
You’ll probably enjoy Lobsters: https://lobste.rs/
I concur. It’s like HN but with less AI/VC BS.
Little too programming focused though, not much tech news
A blog post I wrote got shared there a while back, but I did not ask for an invite back then. 2 years later, and I don’t feel legitimate to ask for an invite anymore
Do you know if they have any plan to stop requiring invites? I’ve been interested for many years, but the invite system rubs me the wrong way.
There’s a mastodon bot… but it’s one-way of course.
I don’t think so. It’s probably what keeps it small and more personal. There is also the notion of responsibility: if a person I invite causes trouble, it’s potentially on me. Maybe not on the first infraction, but if one invites 20 spammers/cryptobros/venturecapitalists, it’s reasonable to block the inviter too.
I’m not arguing one way or another (that’s not my decision anyway), but I can understand why they do this.
Is it still invite only? I’ve been curious. I have Tildes.
Edit: I should probably just lurk. I don’t comment on tildes anyway. Don’t feel my comment style is up to the standard lol.
If you don’t want drama, then Torvalds’ work might not be the best project to follow
Linux drama good drama IMO
I do enjoy some crusty C developers arguing with rusty not-C developers every once in a while.
bcachefs 👌
There are exceptions to every rule LMAO
Phys.org or maybe nature? They’re mostly just seem to be reposts of journals or Nature articles, but they don’t usually have drama and can often be rather interesting. They aren’t necessarily about technology, just scientific advances which is a nice change from all of the enshitification news that almost any tech hub is blaring.
That’s what news means
This is about tech related news
This is specific to open source, but perhaps a good starting point: https://opensourcely.org/
I like phoronix.com but don’t bother reading the article comments.
Or sometimes do read the comments as a reminder on why you shouldn’t.
That’s what I do with local news articles, I try to read the comments every few months just to remind myself who my neighbors are…
maybe slashdot.org but it’s not a community per see
Hacker news still going strong, you get the drama stories here and there but the focus is on the technology
Dunno about communities, but https://www.science.org/ and https://www.sciencenews.org/ are all about science
Would be nice to have more communities that just autopublish all articles published by specific sites
LWN is good for Linux kernel related content.
