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 latest proposal from the USPTO in the USA will make it more difficult for everyone working on open source projects to fight bad patents. We must stop this now by providing a high volume of comments in opposition. Submit your comments now and stand up for the important mechanism to remove bad patents from the system so that patent trolls abusing these can be stopped!

Of course the US government are going after open-source licensing. God damn bunch of public/private revolving door leeches. Any good thing in this world and their immediate reaction is " alright, but how can I extort the thing for all it's got".
