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.

Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.
Hopefully it will help people realise that a profit motive being attached to everything is actually counterproductive societally.
Same. Had some things I needed to look up for my 3D printer and much of the results were inaccessible.
Was a pain.
Ditto, actually. The 3D printing communities I've seen here are just so much smaller.
Same. I found it funny though. Showed that if we tried we can cause some chaos
About 4 people at work Monday discovered the blackouts and learned the reason from following Google results. I'd say that shows the effectiveness of the protest. That's 4 individuals that I work with personally who wouldn't have known otherwise about the api problem that now do. I can only imagine how many people are in that same boat.
Same with Pathfinder 2 questions.
Same, but it’s just growing pains.
We should start rewriting posts in lemmy with the correct information.
Sad thing is most search engines suck/haven't really indexed mostly anything in the fediverse. Wonder why
The fediverse is really not good for big companies. It cannot be monetized or controlled.
It’s obvious you know this, but we just need a search engine that’s tuned to search the fediverse.
