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.

Fuck yes. Manually having to turn it off everywhere was so annoying. It should be just one toggle switch like what Firefox did for their AI features.

Ohh. They pulled a Microsoft and switched to years. 🙄

Windows is still on Windows 11, unless you meant update numbers, which don't matter anymore, anyway. However, many Linux distros, like Ubuntu and NixOS, use this versioning scheme.

Well, Windows went from 3.1(.1) to '95, and Windows NT went from 4.0 to 2000. Also Microsoft Office went from 4.0 to '95. Visual Studio oddly went from 97 to .NET to 2003.

Not only they skipped from 15 to 26, but they left Intel-based Macs on macOS 26 Tahoe, which has been widely regarded as buggy and with an abysmal UX.
