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.

We do do it a lot. I'm not sure why, hornyness and tribalism are our other invariants, and those don't enter into it directly.
Cults of personality tie your identity to the target, such that at some point they could literally shoot someone in the streets and it'll still be excused. To do otherwise would break your ego which most people aren't willing or prepared to do.
