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.

AI did not, in fact, affect the rate that I clicked on results in Google search, at least if we're talking clicks per search.
It made me stop using Google search instead.
Well that and the shitty results it kept giving me at the top of the page when all I wanted was the Mozilla docs on a specific CSS attribute.
Well done! What is your replacement search engine go-to ?
These days it's Kagi. Manually ranking websites (pin, raise, lower, block) is a feature I couldn't live without now.
They still use Google's index to some extent from what I understand, but without all of Google's shitty "features" like AI overviews and sponsored entries.
