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.

I wonder why they're shutting it down. Not seeing anything in the article.
Gfycat probably loses money and that’s no longer sustainable. With interest rates up it seems like the tech companies are having to justify themselves more.
In a way it seems like some things are moving back to the earlier internet where random people decided to host forums and other people had to figure out their own ways of hosting things.
Everything feels so detached from humanity at this point. Like, we're using all these services and products that we as humans create and support, but there's this obfuscation layer between those who use it and those who create and maintain it. It's in software, hardware, our food, our clothing... pretty much everything we consume.
Maybe we're finally getting back in touch with reality.
Yea, that honestly seems like how it's going. It really feels like a bubble that just popped.
