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.

It's going back to the roots, just in an extremely twisted way - I'm old enough to remember when Reddit was just a link aggregator. You put your stuff on your own site/blog/forum (remember those?), and linked to that from reddit.
People could then upvote and comment on it on reddit, but the idea of posting something there directly was ridiculous - how could anything be found later when it would get buried under the new stuff in a few hours, and bumping isn't a thing at all?
Fuck reddit and social media, I want my forums back :(
Also my back hurts, music these days is terrible, and the 90s' were just a decade ago or so.
