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 guess all these free services had to implode one day, I just didn't think they'd all choose the same day...

Many of these have the same underlying external cause of money no longer being free so they can't keep the merry-go-round going for their debt and/or their investors are no longer content to just pour more money into the engine.
