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.

The therapist / client thing is so true. Within the last year I had an old therapist from like seven years ago show up in “people you may know” suggestions and one of the most annoying things is they don’t tell you why they think you know each other. Proximity? Is that person uploading contacts? Who knows.
