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.

It sounds good on its face but it really goes off the skids the moment you listen to what any "long termer" actually believes. Basically it's a libertarian asshole ideology that lets them discount any human misery they may cause because they're thinking about theoretical future people who don't exist.
