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.

"Huge environmental challenge" It's actually quite simple. Stop using single-use plastics for absolutely everything. Regulate the creation of plastic post-consumables. Regulate companies that disallow repair and/or create products that are designed to fail prematurely. etc etc
We need less plastics in circulation, not encouraging the production of more. We need regulatory bodies that actually have the teeth to go after these big companies and force them to comply.
