Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Huh. I assumed Rose would still be behind stuff like this, but didn't expect Ohanian.
I'm a 'Digg refugee' that fled to Reddit around 2009, I think? I knew Digg from Rose, because I was watching Tech TV and The Screen Savers, around 2002.
Anyway I turned my back on Digg when Rose sold out and I'm also going to avoid his new attempt at money making with an AI thingy.
Digg is dead and is gonna stay dead to me. I don't want its rotting dug up reanimated corpse with a sticker saying "now powered by AI!"
EDIT: Coming to think about it, Tech TV turning into G4 might have been an early form of enshittificarion.
That edit hits like a brick. I think about techtv a couple times a year. What an interesting convergence of old media and the first stages of new media.
