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.

Frankly, all content creators in the digital space need to do this. YouTubers have lost their entire corpus of work when YouTube deactivates their account. Same for artists on DA or Tumblr who get banned.

No one should be trusting someone else's hosting service as their permanent backup. An 8 terabyte harddisk costs $100 at best buy.

For some reason I first read the title as "journalists take to archiving their own hands" and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.
