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.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

What I find frustrating is that on iOS, the system put my Ice (Mastodon) icon into a Social folder but my Narwhal app was placed in Information and Reading! So my muscle memory has me tapping an icon in a different folder and I can't move Ice to where I want it. I'm trying to train myself to use the PWA links on my Home Screen for sh.itjust.works and kbin.social but it's a struggle.

Edit: just to be clear, I've never understood why Narwhal was put in the Information folder instead of Social.

I was trying to describe a former subreddit on a thread here and just habitually looked for its subreddit description and then remembered it was dark and that's why I was on lemmy in the first place.

Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.

I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.

Same. When searching I had a shortcut on my keyboard for site:Reddit. com

Anyone have a good regex to add to my pi-hole to block reddit?

I haven't felt the need to look up anything tbh. I realized I didn't really search reddit specific as much as I thought. Maybe I'm just more practiced and used to sifting through Google results for the info I need. Not sure if web of trust is still reliable?
