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 is the first time I ever heard the term, I didn't know it was a thing, and given the source is Gork which is owned by a rich man with an agenda, I still don't know if it is a thing or not.
It's not a thing. Violent crime is a problem in South Africa, and some people like to think that they are being specifically targeted, but the statistics do not support that.
Here's an article by a respected South African newspaper on the recent events: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-05-12-were-sending-a-clear-message-us-welcomes-afrikaner-refugees-in-washington/
Great typo
Until just now, I have always read it as Gork, Grok is more annoying to say.
Here is a good explanation from The Majority Report
