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.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

" it will be used by Google to deny access to their services unless you are using a browser that gels with their profit margin"

Cool. So people using a different browser will move elsewhere. Maybe they'll even stop youtube addiction. Cant' really see a downside.

"It is not far-fetched to imagine a future in which sites simply refuse to serve pages to users running free browsers or free operating systems."

Same here. Sites doing this wouldn't probably worth to be looked at anyway.
