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.

You want them, not need them. Also, I prefer The Guardian model.

Ask for donation, plus no ads in the first place. Maybe in the paying process they do need your contact info, but that's inevitable if you want to pay with your credit card. 100% better than lying about necessities of email.
