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.

Yet another example of a feature dumbed down for seemingly no reason... In another comment I mentioned removing features, and this one mentioned here used to have a section for you to elaborate on your response... They removed it just a few years ago for god knows what reason, making that questions section worse...
"Do pets have souls: yes/no"
...well normally I'd say "no" and then elaborate with "because I don't believe in souls, I don't think anyone has a soul. We have personalities and I believe animals have them too."
Now I just look like some heartless psycho "no, animals don't have souls."
They also took away the ability to specify your answer separately from the answer you were looking for from others, so now it's just "did you say the same thing." Which doesn't make any sense for some questions, like "do you prefer a partner that is a) taller than you, b) shorter than you, c) doesn't matter", if you both picked A or B, you aren't a match for this question!
The quality of questions fell off a cliff well before Match Group came in and really enshittified the whole affair. I soured on continuing to answer questions once the new ones were almost exclusively false dichotomies.
