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.

Yes, that's unfortunately true, too. It probably comes with how sites will try to optimise as much as possible for search engines to find them, even if it means that it's no longer useful (like those posts on social media that include every conceivable tag instead of the ones that actually fit thematically to the post)
There's this project for a paid search engine, Kagi, that tries to make results more useful again by not needing to favour advertisements. I haven't tested their trial offer too much because I keep forgetting it exists, so I cannot say how much better the results really are, yet.
Edit: Big lol, I just read the other replies in this comment chain and yeah I guess by now you are aware of this Kagi project hah.
