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.

On the one had I'd love to be excited about the technology and on the other hand it is a privacy nightmare I know I will experience in my lifetime..
When tech reaches a certain point of adoption it is no longer optional for anyone wanting to actively participate in society. Try going without a smartphone these days for example, I did for a few years and I struggled with paying some bills, paying in popup stores that used apps for payment, managing certain subscriptions, communicating in platform specific chat groups (this is something you do out of necessity more often than you'd think..). Eventually, not having some level of BCI will probably not be an option anymore.
I really want to click things with my mind but I really don't want people like Musk literally in my mind.. Can I self host one? /s
