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.

Agreed.. Augmented reality is going to be a nightmare hahah

There are ways around adds; alternative apps, addblockers, roms and privacy focused browsers. The only mandatory adds are on street corners imo

If adblockers didn't work, I'd be living alone in the woods somewhere.

I work in a very historic city in the UK and I’d genuinely ban street ads entirely from the place given the chance. Other places around the world have tried it and it eliminates so much visual and psychological pollution.
