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.

The feeling that commercial platforms give me is being harassed until I pay them money.
I like to support platforms, but don't like being milked like a milk cow.
That's why I'm completely open source and on free networks only.
Modern day AAA gaming as well. It’s all battlepasses and digital store fronts you’re hit with first. Then they take an hour to fix store problems and a month to fix gameplay problems.
If they only took money once, that'd be acceptable. But like bullies and addicts, if you give them money once they just keep coming back for more.
