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.

I liked Elizabeth Warren's idea, that a company like Amazon should not both own the marketplace and compete in it. For all the reasons stated in the article.
Brick and mortar store do it too. Pharmacies sell name brand drugs and their own generic version next to them. I buy the generic version. I would like to lose that option. Amazon is a different story.
