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.

Very mature of you! 😮💨
When you post things publicly, you take on a level of responsibility and as such you need to be accountable, Lori doesn’t appear to like accountability though. 🫣
You shifted the topic, then proceded to do the same thing this Vlad guy was doing, t’was only fitting to point out the similarity. 😊
Now… you want to discuss the accountability of public posts? Oh boy, where do we start! Should we begin with Facebook, or YouTube comments and scam posts? Or would 4chan and the Usenet be more fitting? Do we analyze the Twitter history of presidential posts? 🙄
The Lori character is not a journalist, doesn’t claim to be one, is not a public figure… and yet they made all this public, instead of asking for a phone call, or a private mail discussion.
you made a statement in public for all to hear. are you unable to defend the statements you make? or simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion?
If free speech requires everyone who makes a statement or belief to engage in debate about it, I don’t believe it would work very well.
