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.

Does Reddit not realise that their own internal search is so bad most people will search for answers on Reddit via Google. They're gonna shoot themselves hard-core in thd foot pulling that move.
And vice versa! Google search results are so terrible, but if you add “reddit” to the end you get a relevant community with a conversation almost always addressing literally the exact question you have. Both are pretty useless by theirselves (is that a word?) now, but together they’re actually really powerful. What a dumb move.
*themselves.
I must’ve been having a serious brain fart lol
Heh, it happens to the best of us.
