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.

You can't empathize with someone having to work while sick and wanting to use a tool to make that work slightly easier?

I tend to empathize with the victims of plagiarism over the perpetrators of it.

That's an incredibly narrow minded way to view this issue.
