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.

*slow clap*

I'm glad that I never even touched Something Awful, I went straight for 4chan. A platform that allows moderators to disguise an effective permaban (100kh) as if it was a tempban ("probation") deserves absolutely no respect.

Finally, Etherwind was right. Wraith's 20th Anniversary Edition didn't come out in 2016.

AND THEY HATED HIM BECAUSE HE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH.

SA is just 4chan in a tuxedo. Both are cesspits.

Not when it comes to the bans. They're also issued on a whim but there's that implicit knowledge that you're going to reset your IP, delete your cookies, and the ban will last exactly five minutes. Even if it's supposed to last six years (like the time that I was banned for asking "I'm 12 and what is this?", and the newbie mod wasn't aware of the meme).
