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.

Things have become more centralized and people just want tech to work. So when things like the fediverse need patients while "stuff gets worked out" they are not used to it.
That's because the main audience of the internet shifted from the tech literate to the tech illiterate, who can't deal with issues
Yes and technology has gotten a lot better too. The younger generation has had technology that more or less "just works." They didn't have to learn how to troubleshoot just to be able to use it as intended like previous generations have had to.
Half the fun is using things for how they weren't intended.
