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.

Why is /r/Videos shutting down on June 12th? How will this change affect regular users? More info here. (www.reddit.com)

The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.

While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.

Mm, I'm a big fan of Decronym on Reddit, the bot that wanders around demystifying acronyms. There was a post by the bot's creator yesterday where they covered how many API calls it makes, and how there's been no clarity on whether there'll be a free tier of API usage etc.

It could shut down all the comment bots on the site.
