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'm in Belgium. I kept mine faithfully on, because I wanted to be able to somewhat warn people I might have infected them (in the end, I never actually got covid, at least not with symptoms). After our next elections, however, I would need to make sure my privacy is respected. The polls are not looking good.

The article's call for a decentralized, open-sourced system handled by an organization of specialists is pretty much what I would hope for.
