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.

@Powderhorn lot of tech billionaires are live in wishful thinking world where they disrupt and void real world - including legal - consequences. They usually come crashing down. It is just surprising that big swaths of media absolutely never learn from this.

When the future doesn't exist past next round of earnings, there's no upside to learning.

@Powderhorn yeah, there is lot of sort of self-justification happening there in a nutshell.
It is not that they are unique with this. Overall humanity still learns how to deal with their own quirks.

Unrelated, is it considered proper etiquette to @ users one is replying to every time? I have no issue doing so; I just didn't see a need. But it's been pointed out that comment threads aren't rendered the same for all users, so I can certainly start doing so.

@Powderhorn as far as I have seen, Fediverse somehow tracks thread without mentions. So for me it is up to someone's preference :) All Mastodon clients I use prefix messages with mentions of persons I reply to, but they don't have to.

Thanks for the explanation!
