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.

Soon we’ll find delivery robots trying to pull some amazing stunts, all thanks to the sacrifices of some daring Pokemon Go players. Good times ahead 🍿

It'll be interesting to see a Waymo or Tesla FSD follow the path of a few Pokémon Go spoofers through buildings or directly across a field.
