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.

I would say that if you want to spark a debate, well, you might want to reconsider that. Debates can be fun but with strangers, it tends to not be the best idea to start a conversation this way. If you want to talk about why they feel the need to use it, then go for it. If you want to convince them that you're right, well, that's not usually nice - it's confrontational rather than an open discussion.
Let's try to understand others rather than convince them that we're right. Does that make sense?
