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.

There is no such thing as "api misuse". You provide the api and people use it according to the conditions you provide. Tighten your shit. Don't blame your own failures on other people.

Which is why I am happy to have email aliases. Alias gets leaked? No problem. I'll just delete that one and make a new one for that service. Scammers and spammers have a useless email address and I still have my clean inbox.

Providing a name is optional so for many users its just an email address.
