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.

I've never gotten the point of upvoting or downvoting as the main for of engagement with "social" media. I may do one or the other once a week when I get a chuckle or see an absurd take on journalism that isn't worth engaging with, but simply clicking an icon is scarcely participation.

People with actual things to say is far more satisfying than facing a Hatfield-McCoy standoff.
