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.

"as opposed to" is an idiom that just means "in contrast". You're creating a contrast between what they're actually doing as opposed to what they're supposed to be doing. "As supposed to" doesn't work as a preposition and doesn't actually create a contrast on its own.
