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.

Finally, I remember the Ajit Pai era all too well when the FCC was auditioning for lucrative future revolving door private gigs. Rather than looking out for consumers.

Ajit Pai didn't have to audition for anything. His employment was already guaranteed. He just had to do his assigned task. You see the same with NASA's Kathy Lueders and SpaceX. The US is totally blind when it comes to the concept of conflict of interests.

PS: When I typed 'Ajit Pai', my phone auto corrected it to 'Ajit Paid'. I guess even my phone knows!
