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.

Which is weird given IBM's WWII history.

Is it though? No one currently working at IBM was there in WWII. It's pretty meaningless to point fingers at a corporations history when it's so dated

That's like judging current Germany based on WWII. Different times, different people

Of course it is not. People are just meming, including up voters.

Meming’s fun but I wish it wouldn’t be everywhere all the time.

Maybe this guy is old enough to remember it? Not likely. I drive an ID.4 and the other day some dude drove by me with the Nazi salute. Some people don’t understand context.

My grandfather told me he saw German tanks with a Ford logo on the western front.

He drove a Cadillac.

They don’t want to remind anyone of that
