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 god damnit Can we get an open source alternative to gfycat and tenor? We can build in some slash commands everywhere for it.

Tenor has become so inundated with shitty ~~gifs~~ ads for shitty TV shows that it's near unusable.

$prompt> boromir this is a gift

The infrastructure costs money. It's gotta come from somewhere.

I'd certainly welcome an Activitypub version.
