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.

Oh clearly I’m not. I just don’t understand the thinking of people demanding access. It’s like the kind of person who pounds on the door of a closed restaurant because they can see the employees inside.

Oh man, my partner made a somewhat popular weapon calculator spreadsheet for Elden Ring, and the number of random Google Sheets edit requests they received was.... quite a lot. (the instructions were right there for people to make a copy of the sheet to edit themselves! that's how all of these sheets calculators work!) 🤦

People are selfish. People subconsciously think the rules apply to other people.

People who demand to come into closed stores and restaurants are not the exception. What's even crazier is when you turn one away, anyone who has seen the door open even though the person was told no and didn't get inside suddenly decides that maybe if THEY pound on the door, they'll magically get access!
