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.

Man I wonder how conservatives will justify still driving fossil fuel cars now, because we all know they will. They keep using "Dangerous and terrible lithium mining" as their first and foremost excuse, if we get cheaper and easier to make batteries I wonder what the next scapegoat will be.

I know, lithium mining is terrible, but we all know that they don't actually care about it being terrible. They're just regurgitating what Fox has told them

They will say fossil fuel cars are closely tied to American history and culture and driving electric cars is unamerican. They don't need arguments, only emotions.

The most american thing to me is a cowboy dude riding his horse in nature than go to the saloon and get beaten by a drunken man

Or die of dyssentery in the wild moving an ox-powered wagon with half your belongings probably already stolen by someone
