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.

this is a great interview with Christian, fyi, for people who haven't seen it yet

[–] HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He is MUCH more diplomatic and polite than I would be.

Then again, he’s Canadian and I’m an American lol

Smart of him not to set the bridge on fire before he’s made it all the way across.

[–] humorouslyironicname@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, though I kind of want to watch the bridge burn at this point. Reddit deserves it.

I mean, he doesn't have to light the match, the bridge is already aflame. He's just pointing out he's not holding the match.

Nova Scotian, even. He could have gone full on Trailer Park Boys on them but went more sort of Mr Dressup route.

Great article, thanks for sharing. It's a real shame that Reddit seems so determined to just force all the changes through and have no dialogue with the community.

Props to The Verge and David Pierce for his coverage of the redditing in general. I have been critical of the Verge and Patel in the past, but since the big site changes I have been forced to admit that the changes have been for the better.
