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.

And you'll have a choice to not install them. Or to install versions that you know how they were trained and have guardrails you approve of.

I posit that you'll have the same choice on Windows... just wait for some antitrust attorneys to smell the blood 😉

I'm an American, I won't get the luxuries of the EU court rulings.
