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.

The lawsuit says Apple did more than just link to content. It claims Apple got around YouTube’s protections to download and use videos directly. The creators argue this breaks the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which bans getting past systems meant to protect copyrighted material. Nah they can lose that lawsuit fuck that. Not about to see DMCA section 1201 used to block everyone from using a YouTube video ever in any other content.

Hey, tech companies: How about you go back to making shit we actually want instead of circular financing and enshittification? It seemed to work pretty well for decades, and you built goodwill.

I remember thinking Amazon, like Tom, was my friend.
