@PurpCat @CapitalB @coolboymew I gained a little more respect for them because they have been dunking on Drew DeVault lately.

Is still a good site to dip toes into the stream. By now I still find one page/day on HN which was worth my time. Sadly, other sites have a even worse ratio.
Try to use niches like gemini or lemmy with a useful filter. The fringe is much more "smart-free" oriented.
@steinarb yeah, I left active Rockbox development a long time ago: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2014/10/01/good-bye-rockbox/
@coolboymew There must be some tech news site out there that doesn't cover that crap. It would be a great place to learn about the few companies who still make dumb appliances and stuff like that.

I don't know why Mark is hosting this anniversary meetup. Who is going to show up? Most of the e-celebs have long since checked out and even the followers have long since moved on as well. This is just going to end up being right-wing Dashcon.
