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.

No, but this is why we think centralising the operations of the internet isn't a good idea. The web was meant to be decentralised and federated, yet it has become centralised and has mostly a few walled gardens.

The fediverse and matrix etc may not be perfect, but technically they are some of the better ideas in terms of ensuring if one server or even quite a few servers go down the whole of a network/service doesn't.
