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.

    IMHO, this community should be about technology. Novel inventions. Interesting or creative applications. Discoveries. Dangers, advances, impacts, experiments, tutorials, etc.

    Instead, it’s overrun with stock market and business news having no more to do with technology than wood pulp has to do with literature.

    I wish Rule 2 was phrased in a way that clearly excludes the latter, and enforced.

    Check out 404 media! I’m a big supporter of independent media, but there’s been a real lack of high quality, competent tech journalism for the last few years.

    They launched in the last few months and I’ve been pretty impressed with their coverage so far.

    Even their coverage though could be called at the intersection of current events <> technology. When I want pure tech news, I usually watch YouTube channels that specialize in related topics ( like Asionometry for silicon design or Dave2d for device reviews).

    Every tech community devolves into Musk/Microsoft/Linux drama pretty quickly. It’s pathetic.

      Only if moderators don’t moderate. I don’t know what it is about tech communities, but it always seems to happen with these more than others.

      That’s because tech peaked a while back. Tech news is basically about the next hustle to keep the funding coming in while producing nothing truly useful.

        Technically absolutely did not peak a while back.
        Journalism online is just full of a lot of dumb bullshit.

        Tech is still producing lots of useful stuff. AI for example can actually be very useful. It’s just not as generalist as the marketers would have us believe. For specific targeted tasks, it can be amazing.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    If you don’t want drama, then Torvalds’ work might not be the best project to follow
