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.

It seems the Honey Coupon extension wasn't just making money by tracking purchases from users, but also by taking credit for the sales for PayPal (since they are owned by it) by changing your local cookies. Pretty shady if you ask me.

Thanks for the share and the new channel added to my favs!

The woman's voice on the podcast was very AI'ish... I mean, the way she spoke, the wording... I know this is mostly marketing shit speaking, but that was the first thing that poped up into my mind when I heard her.
