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.

@donuts @Tosti @Peaces @Heresy_generator Back in the 70s my parents were some of the first people in Vancouver to wear helmets cycling. Constant ridiculing apparently, from drivers and pedestrians and other cyclists. But more than once they found themselves banged up after accidents or other collisions where it seemed fairly clear that if they hadn't been wearing helmets they'd have been in a LOT more trouble, so they persevered . . .
No small chance I only got born thanks to bicycle helmets.
