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?

thanks to this post, i'm trying out searxng and then kagi, neither of which i knew. hopefully there's a searx instance configured roughly to how i'd want. i'm not philosophically opposed to paying, but search is a delicate thing to be personally identifiable - and i don't care what your privacy policy is, if you're taking my money, you can connect me with my clicks
