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.

Some of this could be learned or guessed from your behavior too. Google or FB tracking your location. Combined with other factors they might just even guess the right condition, or you googled something and they combine this data to profile you.

Obviously fully possible that you are right too, but that would be a huuuuge violation for a quick buck.
