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 mean, the journalism is fucking amateur at best. "Red pill" isn't a verb that's immediately understandable, and yes, I know they say in journalism school to use plenty of similies instead of repeating yourself, but loads of English speakers wouldn't have a clue what they mean by "Plod"

I mean, I get the joke of using that expression in the context of a chat named after The matrix, but it's an in-group jargon that mostly the terminally online will get.

Yes, instead use rozzers, bacon or filth!

LOL, you completely lost me at "rozzers"!
