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.

Turn your volume down before opening the link in public. Someone thought it would be a good idea to have background music.

Sorry about that indeed. I didn't create this website.

That being said. I like the retro and midi stuff xd.
