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 first interacted with both my ex-wives in 2004, weeks apart. OKCupid was still about detailed profiles, personality quizzes and answering thousands of questions (with preferred responses by matches listed).
My first ex was a nerdy 94% match. The second was somewhere on the order of 43%. Guess which one I still talk with daily?
The only time I've used modern dating apps was hanging out at my lesbian ex-girlfriend's place. We'd get drunk and then mock women's profiles.
