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.

At this point, even if they backpedaled completely - even if they fired spez - it's far too little and far too late. Third party apps are gone. The trust is gone. Folks like me deleted their content and their accounts. There is no going back.
Reddit search results are worse than useless now if you're not signed into old reddit and have res installed. Google's SEO problem is resolving itself. They have joined pintrest on my insite= exclusion list
the internet in general kind of sucks these days. Reddit has burned down a lot of the things that made its search results so useful in the past. Every forum post more than a few years old is a forest of broken links; the top of basically any internet search whatsoever is an ocean of SEO spam. And that's before you get into the sheer amount of information that isn't searcheable at all because it's on platforms like discord.
This is why I host my own searXNG instance and would recommend anyone do the same or use a public instance.
I could at least understand that though, it would suck but I would not be surprised. I'm genuinely dumbfounded by the attempt to just brush past it
