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 am very glad I left Twitter at the beginning of Musk's rein. This is just dangerous.

I quit Twitter after the infantile incident with Elon Musk carrying a sink around his own office. From all that we've seen in recent years it's pretty clear he's lucky to have been born rich, because he definitely isn't the visionary we thought he was.

I missed this incident, I quit years before...

I made my first ever Twitter account a month or two before Musk bought it, for purely NSFW reasons. I'd log in every couple weeks or whatever, handle my business, and move along. After he bought it, I said whatever I'm not doing anything useful data wise so I'll continue my few times a month visits.

First post-Musk visit, it's fine. Business handled, close my incog window, move on.

Second post-Musk visit, I log in, and it's CP as far as the eye can see. I immediately deleted my account.

Holy hell, on a serious country the government would go scorched earth on Twitter's servers and sue tf outta Musk
