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.

Cars absolutely are automation. They put stable workers out of jobs. No more horses to feed, no more stalls to much out. A single gas station attendant can serve hundreds of cars a week. Entire workforces were replaced with the adoption of cars.

Stopping automation is not the solution. Universal Basic Income is the solution.
