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.

I hate Elon as a person as much as the next guy, but I'm sad to see Lemmy users with the same inability for emotional override as the average redditor. How this has downvotes is beyond me.
I think it's a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don't get lynched. It's hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
