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 crazy part is that it is not even clear what they signed up for. Everybody started talking "Metaverse" as if it was an actual thing. But it never was. There never was an app, a standard or much of anything.
Second Life ain't exactly perfect either, but at least that's an actual thing that exists and in which you can open up your virtual advertisement booth.
