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.

Okay, but do we want them to?

Do we need an extra bloated tech channel that can't be run without creating a massive corporation with an internal culture built around bullying, harassment, and deception?

Why give people who behave that way the opportunity to continue to do so? Why make them rich?

Linus doesn't have the market cornered on anything, not even sad boy self-protective 'apologies'. So what do we need him for? Personally, I'm done. I don't need anything from him or his company.
