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.

As I mentioned in another post, about the same topic, he's tying a sinking ship to another. So both can sink together.

Well if I could get a twitter API to abuse for free, I'd compete with him to create automated shitposts. Not going to pay for it though
