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.

European Union is doing the work the U.S. government should be.
U.S. government is too busy worrying about what people are doing in their bedrooms, libraries and doctor's offices.
Meanwhile, one of the US parties is trying to ban universal free school meals. Sad.
We don't get free school meals in all European countries though. It's fairly inexpensive where I live and people with low income do get it free but it's not universal.
Not all countries have the same school hours. In some places, the expectation is that kids get out of school by lunch time.
Also, school meals are not the first line of defense when it comes to food insecurity, like it's unfortunately often the case in the United States.
