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.

You are going to have to unfold all of those acronyms before we can move forward with this conversation.

I don't have the palest of ideas of what you are trying to convey.

ZIRP - zero interest rate policy. Very common term for anyone following macroeconomic policy since 2008.

Given the group we're in I hope I don't have to explain the rest.

Thank you.

But... Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?

the group we’re in

This esteemed Lemmy community of experts in technology news (that are mostly Muskrat memes, new phone apps and news about companies that may have had an app at some point).

I think you're somehow setting too high a bar for the average internet user. Don't worry, it's hard not to.
