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.

Ah yes, it’s “to fight spam” and not at all an attempt to cut costs of the free users.

Just keep squeezing Elon. Blood will come out of that stone soon enough I just know it!!

This won't do anything to cut any costs.

This is all about enshittifying the free experience to push those on the edge to finally bite the bullet and start paying.
