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.

MODERATORS
Adding “Reddit” to your Google search only helped because content from Reddit wasn’t linkfarm blogspam.
Frankly that was changing anyway. Reddit was going downhill well before the api changes.
I've always heard that reddit search was no good, I always used the joey for reddit app and the search seemed to work well. What was wrong with it on the browser?
Good. People are supposed to be inconvenienced.
Then Google sucks.
Hey everyone, since this is a major event, we're trying to keep things tidy on our instance and centralize the reddit situation. Please see the Megathread on beehaw at: https://beehaw.org/post/550898
Google has been a shitballoon for years now.
I’ve been trying Kagi lately. It’s not bad. You have to pay for it, but there are zero ads and their interests align with mine.
Watching all "Top ten list insert.." Youtubers suddenly becoming very quiet.
