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.

Yeah, theres shit like the battle of blair mountain that everyone should look into.
Hey, my fellow 'Muricans, we actually took up arms here for our right to have a living wage
Blair Mountain, where the mine owners sent the pinkertons, police, national guard to fight their own workers. And when that wasn't enough, they used surplus World War 1 ordnance to do air strikes on them. That's right, they bombed their workers from airplanes.
It is still the largest instance of internal violence in the US apart from the civil war. And given how much violence there is in the US, that's saying something.
It is an example of what unregulated capitalism looks like.
