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.

Perhaps it's easier to ask copilot or chatgpt. A quick but slightly inaccurate response might satisfy the user better.

Definatly replaced the site for me I always just needed just a little nudge where I was missing something obvious or new. They should be happy now no one is taking up their "free time" a constant reason for being toxic to new users
