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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.

Among highly skilled hackers, I wonder what percentage are either on the spectrum, furry, or LGBTQ (or some combination thereof). It's got to be at least 50%. Anyway, great work here!
Not sure about hackers but it's kind of a meme among software developers that senior devs are more likely to be trans, furry or both.
There's jokes about a picture of furries on a plane, that if it goes down, the entirety of internet infrastructure would collapse
Furcons need designated survivor protocols
Is there an r/NoContext equivalent for lemmy? I feel like this belongs there. BrandNewSentence as well.
You can create one.
Furries on a plane sounds like a great parody title
The worst part is that Don McLean may not be around to write a kick ass song about it should it happen.
Edit: Do a couple of you not know what the song American Pie is about?
Weird Al can probably fill the void.

I feel called out
It's okay. You are loved. Someone has to write our open source game console emulators, after all.
Arch / Black Arch is favoured among them, so about 90% probably. The rest is either, but not both.
You can add kinky to that list as well. The BDSM community has a massive percentage of tech people.
The other 50% are people who don't know it yet but are just in their fascist arc on their way to self acceptance.
