A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I learned a new term today that illustrates this move. Warrant canary. When a company disappears a promise it's like a canary in a coal mine.
Many sites have done this over the years. It's called a warrant canary because in the footer, they'd say "we don't comply with law-enforcement requests" ... then comes the warrant, and the wording is removed.
