It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell.

But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.

Use those buttons wisely. I don’t like it any more than many others, but I’m gonna tap that upvote in hopes it might help more people see the news!

Downvote me if you want, IDGAF.

    If you want to post shitty news, you need some light editorializing to indicate you’re not actually supporting the shitty thing.

      Indeed, generally speaking, you’re right.

      But what if the actual source of the information is coming straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak?

      The example I’ve mentioned in this thread, that Windows 11 will soon be recording screen captures every 3 seconds, was announced by Microsoft themselves.

      Obviously I do not support that concept at all, but I still tap upvote, because I think anyone that’s ever used any sort of technology should be aware of this.
