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.

If they made that, they could also make it so one can pay 10x more for each additional icon.

So 10e for one, 100e for two, 1000e for three and so on.

This would allow us to recognise all people seeking attention by flashing money very easily. Bonus points if we are able to filter feeds by number of icons.

Reddit would then sue for plagiarism.
