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.

So Elon's a "visionary" who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website...

Where you can message people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Messenger

Where you can stream audio: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com

Where you can stream videos: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Screen

Where you can create social media posts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_360%C2%B0

Where you can manage your finances: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Finance

Where you can share photos: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Photos

Where you can earn money publishing content: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Publisher_Network

Where you can find a job: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_HotJobs

Where you can buy and sell stuff: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Auctions

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a vision for the future — if by "the future" you mean 1997.

@ajsadauskas@aus.social @technology@beehaw.org for photos, Flickr also fits: it is owned by Yahoo since 2005

I get the sentiment, but Flickr hasn’t been owned by Yahoo for a while. They were purchased by the folks that run SmugMug.

@mnrockclimber@lemmy.sdf.org Oh, you're right! I didn't know about that. My bad 😄

It’s all good. I only know because I’ve been a paying customer since pretty much the beginning.

@mnrockclimber @clement also, it’s all good. The new custodians are much better than Yahoo was.
