I'm just not interested in hearing what bullshit FAANG is up to, I want to talk about linux kernel patches and raspberry pi revisions and maybe hear what people other than grifters are doing with neural networks.

Every tech community devolves into Musk/Microsoft/Linux drama pretty quickly. It's pathetic.

Only if moderators don't moderate. I don't know what it is about tech communities, but it always seems to happen with these more than others.

That's because tech peaked a while back. Tech news is basically about the next hustle to keep the funding coming in while producing nothing truly useful.

"Elon Musk said that he eats babies" is not tech news regardless of whether tech peaked or not.

Technically absolutely did not peak a while back.
Journalism online is just full of a lot of dumb bullshit.

Tech is still producing lots of useful stuff. AI for example can actually be very useful. It's just not as generalist as the marketers would have us believe. For specific targeted tasks, it can be amazing.
