I hate that social media business news qualifies as "technology" these days.
It doesn't, but the mods (not just these ones, but of any technology community) never seem to remove posts that aren't actually about technology.
Because the definition of what is and isn’t technology is arbitrary. Wikipedia says “Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.” By that definition, social media is a technology (uses knowledge of computers and networking to enable online communication), but also so are most human creations.
By that definition the wheel is technology. Should we start posting articles about slight changes to the chemical compound used in newer snow tires?
Ya why not?
Underpants are technolgy.
Is mayonnaise a technology?
Honestly, I’d love to hear about ALL technologies on here, not just computer based ones.
The atproto architecture is technology though. Open source and all
