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.

I signed up with Matrix and it was not seamless but maybe a private server would be great and they could go from there (but that feels like a long term commitment to supporting those users). I haven't really played much with it. Tried getting the folks in my discord server to give it a try but they haven't and they are tech folks. I would say it's not ready for normies, but I really wish it was.

I still have it installed on my phone, but I don't really have anywhere interesting to go. Same with Signal TBH—it's installed but no one I know uses it. Still waiting on my invite from the Secretary of Defense.

says the guy who also says

my discord server

as if the two ideas aren't the same.

If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.
