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.

[Joke] See, Reddit's doing a nice thing here! They're making sure nobody ends up toxifying their own dataset by using Reddit's garbage heap of bot posts!

Hey good news. Turns out you can use bing and not get back Reddit results

yeah but then i get back bing results. no one needs that

There's a browser extension for that. It also works on Pintrest and other useless sites. https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/docs
