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.

They just went from we love you guys to we don’t even give a fuck bend over boy in like 6 months.
Twitter has also shifted into a dystopian QQ wannabe.
Meta has been a dumpster fire for a decade now.
Tik Tok. heavy sigh
This kinda seems like end of times.
if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe. I also hope you're not too attached to birds or polar bears.
My world ends whenever someone doesn't understand hyperbole
Now I become death, destroyer of literary device
You became Death? How did you manage that?
By taking things literally, apparently
This makes me want to just set myself on fire!
Phew! Luckily I just like penguins...
I have bad news. Penguins are a hybrid of bird and polar bear.
Even the name Penguin is a hybrid of polar and penguin.
How am I devaluing what they are saying by pointing out there are much, much, more serious signals of a looming apocalypse?
It's like worrying about the mosquito biting you in a room full of blood thirsty canibals.
I realize I shifted off topic, but they were getting a bit dramatic with the end of times bit
I'm not trying to start anything, I just don't follow your logic, and your comments seem like an over reaction.
I'm happy to agree to disagree though, and won't presue a conversation neither of us really wants to have.
Hopefully you find other people on here that are more suited to your perspectives (I'm legitimately sorry we're clashing). Lemmy is a great platform and I want you to enjoy it as much as I do
If it's the end of the era of social media, I'm plenty ok with that. Shit's been cancer for almost a decade now.
And may it usher in the era of antisocial media. The era where we all stop trying to impress each other, monetize each other, and just buy a thing and have it do the thing we bought it for, and not be bothered. Long may it reign.
Lol that's more like the end of American consumerism, and while I wholeheartedly agree, that'll take a generation or two at least to decouple from American society. That shit's been going strong here for over 100 years.
