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 have seen a lot of highly upvoted comments on reddit which were very, very wrong.
I still use reddit for help on things. But for topics that I'm less knowledgeable about (so I can't gauge the accuracy myself), I try to just take everything with a grain of salt.
It helps that if something is wrong on Reddit, another redditor usually points it out since there are many eyes on any particular thread.
Yes, I always enjoyed getting down voted for the correct answer.
True, but the chance of it being wrong is substantially smaller than the chance of chatGTP dreaming up something.
