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.

Better not use cars or computers either, if you're basing your entire life around whether or not an invention's creator believes the same things as you.

Yes because it's literally impossible to not use some services or products because you don't want to support their makers, because for some reason that means you can't use anything else either.

I've got a sneaking suspicion you just don't like people disagreeing with views that you share

normally i don't argue with randos on the internet but i typed this up elsewhere and figured it could fit here, not for your sake, but for the benefit of other users, so...

do the people who're saying shit like "well do you not drive cars either because the auto industry is unethical" seriously not realize that contributing to free and open source software is involving yourself in a COMMUNITY? like that i'm warning people to steer clear of a shitty social space that's been known to be hostile to our kind in the past??? i'm not just doing this for ragebait engagement farming lmao
