    Technology is one of the most politically charged topics possible. Even leaving aside big tech and AI stuff, you have the ideologues behind the open source movement, or the fact that a lot of our modern tech infrastructure is built on conflict resources and manufactured by forced labor. Politics ripple through every aspect of our lives.

      Anything can be political but doesn’t have to be. A good technology sub would look something like this:

      • New 10TB SSD announced at trade show
      • Holograms are slightly better after new breakthrough
      • GTA6 preorder numbers are out, will it save the PS5?

      And instead it became a shitflinging cesspool of:

      • Elon tweeted something stupid at 2am last night
      • AOC said something about net neutrality
      • Congressional republicans announced a tech bill that has no chance of becoming law
