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.

Beeper is a unified chat application (all your chats in one app). I was on the beta testing team. It was a subscription service for a little while but now it is free. It's the only chat client I use since it integrates almost all chat networks.
It looks like they're going to start charging sometime this year? This awakens my inner cheapskate until I remember that I'm happily paying for tutanota and mullvad, and that that's what (hopefully!) eliminates their need to spy on their users and monetize all your data. Will definitely have a look🙂👍️
Not exactly. Beeper will remain free to everyone. Also, they do not collect users personal data, nor spy etc. However, there will be a paid premium version of Beeper some time in the future.
That's what I thought the FAQ said, but probably read it too fast 🙂
