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.

I use just about every website primarily on PC. I'm horrified whenever I hear the phrase "I'm primarily a mobile user," no matter which site it's referring to. How do you people do it? Mobile is trash. I hate touchscreens.

But when I'm mobile, I use Boost. RIP in pieces, I guess.

While I typically agree with this use practice, Reddit was an exception— if for no other reason that 1. Their site was a nightmare to use and 2. The Apollo app stripped all of the awful bs from the site and only served up the content. If i could have used Apollo on my desktop, i would have.

RIP is right… :’(

Reddit is for filling blank spaces in my work day or when I'm standing in lines. Gotta be phone.

Home is for books and video games and etc instead.

Else, if I really just want to chill... It's nice to lie down and read a phone like it's a book, rather than sit up at a desktop.

I try not to comment on mobile though. I had RedReader with all reply, upvote, downvote buttons disabled.
