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.

Is his website in pure HTML? It’s got that 90s nostalgia.
The blog post talks about choosing a side, but the average user doesn’t have the know how or desire to move away from the default enshittifying web. The generation growing up with smartphones are fed targeted advertisements as a steady diet. To be fair, I see the kids just flipping through the obvious ads. But it’s harder to ignore when their favorite influencers are advertising stuff as part of a bit.
And for that reason I think we’re moving rapidly towards that dystopia we see in sci-fi movies and shows, like Wall-E.
There is some CSS in there...
Lots of blogs out there like this, if you're interested. Fedi people like indieweb and "smol" things... And Gemini too.
This blog is made with a bespoke Python site generator: https://sr.ht/~lioploum/ploum.net/
For more nostalgia:
I do love me a Web 1.0 site. Shoutout to Simon Stalenhag.
I looked through that thinking, "Cool, looks like the Tales from the Loop artwork."
Then I realised it is, indeed, the Tales from the Loop artist... Which is a quite decent mini-series/anthology on Amazon Prime that is worth a rainy-day binge.
I have the board game and I quite like it... even if it's a pain to setup and teardown.
Thanks for the links!
I think the dystopia we're moving toward will be more like the Fifth Element
I personally have already prepared for the future by watering my plants with Gatorade, they love electrolytes
Technically they crave electrolytes
Gatorade has electrolytes...
Towards Cyberpunk 2077 minus the cool cybernetic parts.
Google is trying to become NetWatch and build a huge BlackWall (WEI) to control it all.
Do we at least get the cool dark aesthetic 🥲
You're never too old for a rave
Best I can do is emojis everywhere.
🤔…🤝 😂
It will be Super Green!
