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's results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they've taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I've mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with "site:reddit.com", but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well...?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

DuckDuckGo.

Bangs are awesome, I set it as my browser bar search, and I can search for cheese discounts in my local supermarket with one search string.

Try it, type !appie kaas into DDG.

!bangs fit super well into the KISS Android launcher user experience
