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.

Yeah, I definitely remember when they started showing things I didn't ask for, and I thought "I don't like that", but I stuck around because I could ignore posts I didn't care about.
It took a little while, but I eventually started to play "how far can I scroll before I get something I didn't ask for?"
Shortly after that, I realized I actually had to start playing "how far until I get something I did ask for?".
Once I realized that, I cut back significantly. I still go from time to time when I'm stuck waiting in line or something, but it broke my daily habit. I miss what it used to be, but I certainly don't miss what it is.
