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.

@darylsun It's terrible that it feels so hard to *stop* doing something like this when you're a creative individual who wants to promote their work. It feels like there's always this pressure to be promoting your art or else you're not going to get anywhere with it. It's exhausting feeling like this is *how* you're supposed to interact with the internet.

@riley absolutely true. Yet, if you manage to stop doing it, that's when you really start enjoying real connection with other people, including a few strangers. At least, that's what happened to me.
