First of all can I even call this a sub? What is it?
My question for us to collectively decide overtime is: will this be HN[0] or Lobsters[1] with lefties, or will is just be about China vs US consumer tech news? I personally would like to see the former because those sites can be fun (aka a yuge time sink) until you read the dogshit takes in the comments. I hope this place encourages real discussion including but not limited to GNU/Linux distro wars, the BSDs, mpv[2], languages, webdev, security, cyberpunk, cypherpunk, hating on OOP, free software (besides rms), Emacs[3] vs Vi[4] and God's True Language™ Lisp. You know, the good stuff.
I guess we will all find out the direction this place will take together. To a bright future shitposting together, comrades!

At this point in the life cycle of the website, all the subs are pretty broad. They need to accommodate everything that would reasonably fall under that umbrella until the whole thing is bigger and it can break into more specialized subs. So this should cover all of the above and more. Personally I'm interested in Fediverse stuff, China tech, consumer tech, alternative/socialist tech history, and transportation tech. But I'm happy to share the space with coding gobbledyremoved.
