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.

Same as The Party in Aars, Denmark, in the 90s. Every table had a sheet. Cross out the IP you picked. Managed 2000 attendees that way.

Oh yeah The Party was another big one. Probably gone by now too?

Yeah it has. The demo aspect became smaller and smaller and with the advent of internet penetration even the copy side of it dissipated. It wasn’t the same at the end tbh

Still, fond memories of coding, sleeping under the tables, eating junk.

Yeah me too. Drinking way way way too much. Playing games in the middle of the night. Seeing weird stuff in other tents like a fullblown orgy. Fun competitions. I really miss it.
