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.

Apps that offer to "do it all" will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit.

Emacs does it all and is actually pretty nice though.

Emacs is more like a runtime for many smaller programs doing all these things, with common way for them to talk to each other. It's closer to Java than to Facebook.

The good old Unix philosophy.
