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.

Fr, it is very hard to break. I instinctively add "reddit" to the end of every search.
This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.
Yup
I know, it’s so much harder to find answers to anything past very simple answers with Google these days. After the blackout, I’ll probably do far less jumping straight to Reddit, but I feel like it’s still going to be unavoidable sometimes.
After the subreddits go un-dark I will probably still use this for searching until there's a LLM set-up to "replace" google searching (which Bing is Still Not, imo).
Agreed, I use reddit for a lot of my research be it for purchasing decisions or other random questions I think of during the day.
Unrelated but we have similar usernames :)
Hahaha that is amazing! I was going to go for my cryptic variation of '1bluxjay' only to realize that I can have the actual username. Been a long time since I've been able to do that.
Yeah, even if I quit using reddit as a community tool the information value is huge. When something breaks on a niche subject they can be the only easy to find source.
