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 was having a little look through the Wikipedia article for Digg, to remind myself how their downfall went about. Found this absolute banger of a quote 😂

To his credit, Ohanian hasn't been involved with reddit for a while. He and u/spez sold the company years ago, then spez came back.

Everything does unfortunatelly... remember Google's "do no harm" quote?

"Don't be evil" was their actual quote. The fact that they removed it says a lot about their new direction.
