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 a way to connect with people who only have Facebook accounts and don't want to deal with moving or figuring out another account. Someone will pipe up and say "yeah well my 102 year old grandma figured out signal!" yeah, well good for her, she's largely the exception. People want something simple, that works, that will be around in 10 years.
