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.

Remember the whole "if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product"?

It wasn't enough to turn you into a product. Now they also want to turn you into a resource. Farming your comments and posts to feed to an AI model.

What an economy we've built.
