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.

Not the worst and not the best reporting. I am surprised how many people apparently use reddit as a search engine given how many posts I saw in various subs that implied the poster never heard of a search engine given that there was another thread asking the same thing like 5 hours beforehand.
It is interesting they point out that Twitter style short form posts do not actually contain information people would be searching for. Also kind of sad that useful discussion is seen as ild fashioned and "modern" is short videos. I hate video results when I'm searching for something because if it even actually addresses the question it's 3-10 minutes of what is actually 2 sentences of answer. Such a waste of time.
@jmp242 @hedge I find that the users prefer textual search results the better training they get at searching. When things are being surfaced *for* them, they don't build the skills needed to evaluate search results and refine terms.
