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.

Well that was always my problem with Facebook's implementation as well. If I'm paying money for virtual real estate I'd rather just pay money for the server and then control it myself. It never made sense to me to let one company host the code, because there's literally no benefit to me for them doing that. Usually the benefit of letting a company host the code is that it costs less money, but if I'm going to be paying virtual rent every month anyway I'd rather just have server access.
