A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I really think we should push for people to read the actual article themselves, rather than encouraging or enabling the intellectual laziness that plagues social media. We're better than that.
I think would be a good to expand upon the title a bit, especially if it doesn't reflect the contents well.
Ideally yes, but we know that behavior probably won't change :)
Realistically, no.
I would agree that encouraging reading is better but too many articles are behind paywalls and/or poorly written without substance. I find tldr helps me to assess whether there is likely to be anything behind the fluff and am grateful to those who post them.
The article text itself should be quoted, rather than a tldr. Leaving that to the comments means there's a better separation of editorializing and people can choose to interact with the article in different ways.
Instead I'll start pedantic arguments based only on the title of the posts.
Trends will point to people not being better when it comes to actually having to open external links, so next best thing is copy pasting the article or a screen shot to try and find alternatives as opposed to hoping they'll be better. They won't haha.
