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 actually kinda miss 2010 Facebook where everything being posted was actually from my friends. It was almost exciting to log on and see what was up.
Now I'm in a few group chats but those aren't quite as active unless some event is coming up for that group
The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.
It was awful.
"Oh, look. He's a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook."
Facebook went to hell when they let our parents and grandparents on. Not that they are to blame, but it was the beginning of the end.
