    And by your swiss cheese logic, everything we do these days is tech news.

    It’s a common fallacy that drops community quality like a rock.

    It’s like programming horror being flooded with things that aren’t even marginally related to programming. But since technically all our technology is programmed, then it’s technically programming related.

      Well now all I can think of is cheese while I’m on a technology community. My day is ruined.

        No, they are arguing that everything is technically technology. So we should turn this community into a basket weaving forum.

          But what is the “everything” being discussed? A Tech CEO’s decisions and changes over a social media platform, which is a widely used technology. Nevermind the business aspects that exist everywhere, is it even reasonable to talk of social media, technology dedicated towards social connections, without addressing the social aspects involved?
