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.

This is a net positive (for me), but it's still fucking dumb, and his fault. "Too many sites were scraping us :(" Yeah, dude, that's what happens when you pull the "API is only for the wealthy now" nonsense.

The advertisers must love this.
