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.

Pretty much every CEO of every company is right wing. Several prominent Democrats are right-wing in their politics, and will still get the backing of the party regardless. That's what happens when all you elect are capitalists.
I do not care about shitcoins either way.
I've never heard of Vivaldi. Does the adblock work?
Yep, most of them aren't anti-gay maybe.
But they're all 100% anti-union, anti-social welfare, anti-tax, pro-inequality, pro-monopoly, and anti-democracy. Kristal Ball called them "woke pinkertons".
It's true.
That's why I scratch my head a little whenever someone tells me I can't use a certain product. For instance, it's impossible for me to use a computer that, at some level, hasn't been sourced from an oppressed labor force.
The society I live in is impossible to exist in if I abstain from everything I need due to negative political connotations.
I do what I can to effect better outcomes in my own small sphere, but asking someone to forego any problematic associations in their consumption is like asking someone not to breathe.
