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.

It requires a google account though so I can't use it :(

I don't really understand why they insist on that as it doesn't seem to use google otherwise. I do have google play services, just no account logged in (which is not necessary for things like push to work!)

Because they get your profile picture, name, and email address when you click accept. I went through with it just to test, but definitely getting some data from its users.
