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.

Some required reading whenever journalists uncritically report retailer's narratives:

I raised an eyebrow when I noticed that both posts you linked to were posted to a community called “shoplifting”, whose sidebar has a description reading,

exchanging tricks and experiences. discussing trends and events. connecting shoplifting to politcal [sic] theory and praxis. also memes.

It’s a community that encourages illegal activity, and not even specifically for a social/political cause or socioeconomic reason. This does not sound very nice to me, and it makes it hard for me to take the articles you linked to seriously.
