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.

My favorite stage of Quora is when the monetized asking questions. Around this time I had too much time on my hands and showed up to help. When I realized I was making fractions of a penny, I turned to trolling the power users.

These guys were so insecure. They'd whine in their answers about how Quora should pay for good answers, not for questions that bring traffic. Nice try, but every tech bro is online and dying to give an opinion, so sorry, "good" answers is not worth paying for.

And when you would try to correct them or report their answers as incorrect they would lose their shit and try and report me 😂

Fun times. Like a dolphin watching a ship sink.
