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.

just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

With how vast the third-party ecosystem is, one would have imagined a full year countdown but it's become obvious that this is nothing more than digital gentrification, one that kicks out the very people who gave it the spirit that is being monetized into an IPO.

Those 30 days 30 days was meant to break the ecosystem.

Digital gentrification is an interesting term. But yeah, TPA users have to be a particular type of users. Like power users, or just generally more discerning people who don't want to use a crap interface. And they're just happy to be rid of us it seems.

Edit: Why does it say "bot account" next to my name?

Try going to settings and unchecking "Bot Account"

Guess I skimmed through the settings page too fast. Thanks.

That's exactly what a bot would say.
