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.

Meta are known to fudge the numbers to appeal to investors and boost advertising on their platforms.

Like when they started counting video views when you scroll past it and it barely plays…
so that by the end of the month your video has significantly more “views” than actual (real) views and you think to yourself, this is working.
