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.

"Splintering" sounds kinda negative, which bothers me. It's a good thing if there's less in the way of walled garden monopolies.
Is “Balkanizing” a better term?
Actually, it does sound more neutral to my ear, but I don't know why considering it's from the damn breakup of Yugoslavia, which ended with a genocide.
