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.

Yes. Usenet is the thing I miss. Miss CompuServe some too. Not the $24 an hour cost though.

Before the Web there was Gopher and Wais, and FTP of course.

Before the internet there was UUCP and Bitnet and email and mailing lists. Use to be terminal connection networks too like Tymnet which got around the high cost of long distance to some extent.
