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.

Every two years, 99% of voters here in the US choose to put their stamp of approval on capitalism. Then they inexplicably clutch their pearls when capitalists do capitalist things, as if it's somehow shocking.
Looks like public pressure brought a positive outcome in this case, so that's something, but this is the stuff you should consider when voting for the two ruling parties.
Voting doesn't equal approval.
Yes, it does. We may not like to consider that, but it's the truth.
Disagreeing with politics is as old as humans, one can live in a situation one doesn't philosophically agree with. Voting does hold aspiration.
That it does.
We still have to look at historical patterns and acknowledge that what a person claims to vote for is antithetical to what their party of choice is actually going to do.
Do you have a source for that?
