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.

Another perspective I've been hearing: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDX0EU9I3CQ/?igsh=MjA0bWxwM2dhM2hh
Tldw: based on everything we've seen of this dude so far, the details don't really add up. It seems really unlikely that after everything he would get nabbed looking suspicious at a McDonald's, with a written manifesto on his person. Could be wrong, it's just speculation. But personally I'll be expecting more news on this, unless nothing happens for like a week.
Conspiracy time:
What if it's a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?
I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.
We're going to find out that he's just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.
But also he's just a guy. I'm not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don't just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.
Yeah, I know, but hoping is more fun than not.
I'm with you there.
