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.

Google is more interested in serving page after page of ads and boilerplate and ai generated articles. I don't think them not indexing things is as relevant as it used to be
Ever since I’ve switched to DuckDuckGo, my searching experience has been way better. Google’s new mobile experience is absolute garbage.
IIRC DuckDuckGo wasn't a fan of the Australian media bargaining bill either. I suspect they will also deindex news sites in Canada should amendments not be made.
I haven't seen the Canadian one and this is honestly the first I've heard of it, but the idea that a referrer has to pay a news website for directing traffic to them is ludicrous to me.
