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.

You know what they say: fives have lives, fours have chores, threes have fleas, twos have blues, and ones don't get a rhyme because they're garbage!

"The social rating figures don't affect [a person's] life, the availability of services or the career trajectory in any way, but who knows what these figures will mean for you in the future?"
