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.

If employing an adblocker is “altering YouTube’s code” then opening the wrapper on a Snicker’s bar is “altering Snicker’s product.” The code runs on my device, I get to say how and when and whyfor. It’s akin to receiving something in the mail… I now own that copy and can do with it what I wish pursuant to all relevant laws.
