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.

Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can't live without adblock.

uBlock Origin my friend. Never see an ad again! Unless you wanna support a site that way, then just turn it off for that particular site. Also helps with YouTube pre-roll ads.

I pay for it on moral grounds and because I can afford it, but I do use DuckDuckGo's extension to block trackers for some privacy. However, if Reddit really does go through with killing off third-party apps I will probably just kill the Premium subscription and stop using the site altogether. Their first party app is that bad.
