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.

I regularly rotate streaming subscriptions. They all got greedy and there are too many competing services offering too little value. If any service starts locking people in to fixed terms or forcing ads I will drop that service entirely. I don't like piracy because it doesn't support creative jobs and I think it should be unnecessary if services behaved reasonably. But the one or two decent shows a year that might be an exclusive to any particular service can be obtained on the high seas or I can live without them.
