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.

This wishful thinking Americans have that some magical saviour of democracy is going to appear to save them is ridiculous and sad for the rest of the world looking at this forest fire.

If you’re an American, go fix your fucking country. You have constitutional amendments for this exact scenario.

Edit: My comments iterating which specific amendments I’m referring to have all been removed. Your constitution is more controversial n mysterious than I thought. Im sorry for sharing its secrets. I learn new things everyday!

Bold of you to assume any of that matters right now. Or ever, really. Cops can and have been shooting people stone dead for "looking like they might've had a gun." The second amendment has been a farce for decades at minimum.

Not that I think waiting for Congress to fix things when they're the ones least threatened by what's happening is a good idea. Just pointing out that the Constitution stopped mattering a long time ago.
