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.

"You're hosting hate speech. We have laws that say you can't do that and offer your service in our jurisdiction. Remove the hate speech or we'll fine you"
"THIS IS AN ILLEGAL SECRET DEAL"
