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 practice security through obsolescence instead, all my data is stored on 3 1/2” floppies and if I need to send someone a voice message I post it on a cassette.

I know a couple of greybeards who're building a SCO UNIX virtual machine to troll skiddies. I wonder if they're going to sneak it onto the network at hacker summer camp.
