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'm judge JimBob and I suddenly have a great interest in whatever I was told to because I ~~deeply care about the people~~ was definitely not given millions in stock for large companies

Hopefully this sticks. IMO, movie studios need to keep attracting customers or the whole film industry will stay dead.

While great news... Watch all of this get undone.

We get these headlines kinda regularly. Feds will do a thing that will save you!

Big W change. EU should try to copy this idea.

Living in the EU and Latin America, I can safely say this has never been an issue before with the exception of Proton Mail which took me 8 confirmations and 5 retries

I think EU law already prevents this, at least this has never been an issue in the multiple member states I lived in.
