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’m constantly getting bot checked these days because I do a lot of stuff when casually browsing to prevent being fingerprinted and tracked between sites. I wonder how often they just mark anyone not making them selves easy to identify as a bot.

I can't buy flights with SAS anymore because they flag me as a bot. Tried contacting customer support about it, which was a bot

AI customer service bots, which I know are soulless firewalls really more than helpers, are beyond frustrating.
