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.

And the new one they introduced will have fewer features than the old one with no plans to get it to feature parity.

Alternatively, they may make an amazing second chat app that is the smoothest you've ever seen and then they'll shutter it and say "don't worry, we rolled a couple of those features into Google Chat."
