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.

We’d probably be willing to view ads if the experience wasn’t literally jarring.

Not really I don't want to view propaganda about how the new 6 wheels family killer wagon is still chill even if you're going through the desert.

I just don't like ads and unnecessary consumerism.

God, this is tangential to your point, but car and housing aesthetics have gotten terrible. Everything is BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER. People need to buy huge fucking hulked out monster trucks now for their suburban ass lives so they can make sure to fit their entire home when they commute an hour to work in soul crushing traffic. And they absolutely NEED their giant ass monstrous mcmansions. How can they survive without the extra dozen rooms that they can fill with more cheap bullshit? And don't get me started on color. Houses are all beige, grey, monotone terrible. Cars are silver, white, grey, black. There's no color anymore. It just feels like what's the point? Why bother trying when this is what success looks like. We have this beautiful planet and this is the shit we fill it with. I'm sorry. /endrant

My truck is white because it’s hot AF outside and it there is a LOAD of difference between dark colors and white in the sun.
