What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply

the quality of search results tends to be degraded [without JavaScript].
Lol, how? That's such bullshit.
Seriously, that's such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.
I think their system just makes more money with sponsored gimmicks they might be enhancing.
Google can eat shit.
If you set your user agent to Lynx it won’t need JavaScript
Which proves, without a doubt, that the engine doesn't need js to load results.
DOS wins again!
Talk about a step in the wrong direction!
I have started treating everything as the walled gardens that they are. so I do google on chrome and microsoft on edge and if apple was not so reliant on ios devices I would run safari for them. Then firefox with no script and other essential addons for my real stuff.
I wish I didn't ever need google but unfortunately sucksuckblow has been getting worse and worse.
Wait, they didn't before?
No, you could submit a request and just parse the HTML. This allowed people to write search proxies and then filter the results. Not as good as an actual API but it worked.
So until now Googlers sent a full web form to the backend and replaced the page contents with HTML returned by the server?
Like cavemen…
Time for Kagi?
