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.

Oh, yeah I know you wouldn't. You're in kind of a tricky situation but I think that spat over covid sort of tested boundaries for you.

I'm in Aotearoa, obviously we have a similar problem. Culturally we would go where you go, but on the other hand we didn't follow the US into Iraq. China are by far our biggest trading partner, and also those of us with a long memory were disillusioned by how our allies treated us over the Rainbow Warrior terrorist attack so there's probably not the same level of confidence.
