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.

IMO there should be something like Omegle offered in public school to students for free around the world. You'd have a student account that's tied to a verified school account, and you could be randomly paired with other students your age around the world. Omegle, when users are responsible, and moderation is manageable, seems like it has a very high value-for-society to complexity ratio.

This is such a bad idea I don't even know where to start
