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.

To me it entirely hinges on what kind of features. The Firefox local website translation feature is cool and useful. A chatbot reading my emails and giving me dialogue options, a program harvesting data on everything I do on my computer and sending it to a server, those kinds of things I do not want and will go out of my way to avoid. Normal rules of what makes software good or bad still apply.
