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.

Content farms have been a thing since the early 2000s, no AI needed, just stuff hastily written by outsourced workers for less than a minimum wage, then poorly translated and turned into templates to generate thousands of pages, in what some called "SEO".

Particularly, results for "file format" or "extension" have been a hot mess for the last 20 years or so, there was never a clean search... and yet, by searching right now for "glb file format specification", the second link is to the canonical Khronos spec, the third one is the Wikipedia entry with links to the spec.

That's way better than it used to be.
