There are so many times I look for something somewhat niche that I need information on, and the first 10 or so links are all garabage keyword spammed sites. Literally lists of words that drive clicks to their site (I assume for ads or scripts). It’s super frustrating. I’ve blocked entire TLDs on my network (.zip for example) and installed a add-on to allow me to block results in my searches.

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.
