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.

Conservative TV commentators love dropping buzzwords, dog whistles, and conspiracy theories, to the point of incoherence. Dear god it's been word clouds all along...

Plus the other side MSNBC and CNN just feed people statements that are meant to make them upset, nervous and angry, all of the news media is hot garbage. I can’t stand any of it because it’s all blatant propaganda
