Light news thread?

Could we have a sticky thread at the top of the Tech News forum where people can post smaller, less significant tech news which doesn't necessarily justify a complete thread? Kinda like the "QuickBits" of the LTT forums.

 

For example, I noticed a news article about Facebook banning a French village called Ville de Bitche from their platform because the algorithm confused it with the word "bitch" used as an insult. That really isn't worth an entire thread but would probably be a decent thing as a post in an existing thread.

 

It would have the helpful side effect of giving a thread to put all of those posts the forums gets which don't meet the proper tech news posting guidelines but are still tech news.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

I wonder if this would work well as a subform. Like the "Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling" section under cooling. It also seems like there's stuff that comes out as news that would be cool to have in the main thread, but not necessarily enough information. "Oh your post doesn't quite meet the guidelines of the main news page. We can just move it to QuickNews until it's updated" kind of thing.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

There's reason why Off Topic,
General Discussion and Status Updates exist.

 

I imagine it would be very small amount of people using that kind of forum/thread. The first impression I get is that it's for "post a link and title" kind of people.
