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.

Man, if any of that youth passion had shown up at the polls we (yes, including us in the rest of the world) wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Somehow, the fervour never translates away from from the soft keyboard, though - probably because it's mostly fake. God, we're a D-tier species.
