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.

The day is not over yet

Well, Huffman made his Reddit API moves in conscious emulation of (and after talking with) Musk. So behold, a single bad idea from a single person is bringing down two major social networks in one day.
