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.

Awesome. Something to keep me away from big wrbsites and on the small web.
I'm not sure this is the right mindset to have. Sure you can isolate yourself for a while but at some point your bank will use this shit. Your doctor will send you a message via their orgs website. Your grocery store will charge you obscene prices if you don't use their app. The Internet has not been an optional utility for many years now.
this mindset is what keeps the world without big tech going. to just accept their abuse is to make it far more certain
I wasn't implying to accept it. I would say actively resisting it, complaining to the companies that utilize it, elect reps that will implement useful regulations is better. To just hide in a corner of the Internet doesn't accomplish much though.
It's true. I'm sorry I definitely said we should all hide in the corner. I should have probably have not said that using real words that actually came from me and have not been inserted into my fucking mouth by some finger wagging bystander looking for a soapbox to well-akshually from.
