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.

What makes you so sure whatever will follow it is going to be any better?
Guess we better not try then...
The fact is that while there is no guarantee, you can at lest push to something better. Don't self-defeat so early
I'm not a fan of burning down the house to catch spiders approach. Equally slow, gradual, boring and tedious democratic change has the best track record in history, whereas even successful revolutions result in ordinary people suffering the most for many years until things improve, if they ever improve.
In other words: Organize and vote, don't fantasize about who to put up against the wall in which order.
Can't wait to be called a fascist for this comment too.
For the most part I agree, but we are quickly moving to a place where voting either won't do anything or won't be a thing. For now, organizing and community support is the best thing to do, but there may come a time where we need to think about other options
Nothing wrong with wanting change.
