News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

lol, I stopped consuming during the price gouging when COVID happened. I saw the greed and just... stopped. screw their cheap shit. it's not that I can't afford it, I actively refuse to keep buying stuff and watch it break in 6-8 months needing to buy it again.
I'm just living humble by choice now
I haven't been shown a product worth buying since 2016.
New game console? Its library is trash and your live service model only gets worse.
New computer? For what?... to do what? Am4 loads Firefox up just as well as Am5.
New car? Drive an Si, and it's from 2014, check back in 2034.
I'm not buying a damn thing but clothes and food until something breaks. I'm not even politically motivated, I'm just piss-bored of Ai nothingburger products and aenemic hobby scenes because billionares own everything and they ground it all down to dust.
this is exactly my thought too. I am only replacing, and buying food. I am in the market for a guitar but those aren't typically made with obsolescence in mind plus they can be repaired which goes into a local persons labour which I am also ok with.
but yes, everything is just... why... it's so saturated with junk that I've checked out completely.
Preach. Anything you buy that was made in the last 5-ish years is riddled with ads and/or requires a prescription service to even use. And that includes luxury cars. Everything has been fucked to hell.
Its not just luxury cars. My new corolla has a sub for auto start and navigation.
