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.

this is just biometric data collection, because they know that many people will use it if it's presented to them, especially if it's less tedious that clicking 15 slowly disappearing traffic lights. the average joe isn't doing a bypass with a virtual camera.
