“Could”, more like “already is”. It’s a darn shame, and honestly I kind of wish the Fediverse had taken off long ago so we wouldn’t be stuck with these repositories of information being walled off by centralized tech companies

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.
