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.

Just a victim of globalization I guess. Was introduced to it by a guy who did farmwork in Australia for a while.
Ah, that explains it. Don't often see folks outside Australia know about it. Did he explain goon of fortune to you?
I don't believe he did?
Ah so it's where you peg up a goon bag on a rotating clothes line and get a group all standing in a circle underneath. Spin the line and see who drinks.
That's brilliant. Australian culture is criminally underappreciated in Europe.
We definitely go hard.
