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 use it for work moodboards because I'm a designer working with non designers who only use the Google suite. Feels like I'm one of the few people who will actually miss Jamboard. Guess I'll need to make them all learn Figjam.
It's used a lot in schools, too. Well, schools that use GAFE, anyway. That said, it seems like most school districts locally are switching to O365 instead, I think because of local hosting.
To use GAFE we need parental permission annually, and there's always a few parents that don't consent to their child's data being hosted on American servers or whatever, so you never get 100% of the class with access. Makes it hard to use.
