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.

Looks absolutely well-planned and not rushed at all, perfect alignment of the logo, proper copy. Definitely not just a hasty implementation of a fever dream.

Somehow, this is the bit that offends me most

I'm guessing that skill with Cascading Style Sheets is considered wasted time and effort at X, much like media relations, accessibility, and microservices.

I enjoy reading about this change because everytime someone writes something like. Look what x did. My first thought isn't of Twitter or any social media, it's: "who's x?" (As in replacement variable)

So stupid to rebrand like that. Oh well, never used Twitter anyways

I thought this was a joke.
