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.

Not really. I'd argue the dot com bust was worse due to the quantity of websites that died because they didn't actually have a business model.
What we're seeing is a tech industry where all the tech is on the right side of the S curve and trying one last stab at a technology that may be on the left side.
You’re right, the dot com bust was far worse. That feels like forever ago these days.
