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.

Google should just redirect to the archived page if the link to Reddit is dead.
It's also a super clunky way to search. If I'm skimming posts for technical issues that I need a quick turnaround for, I'm probably not going through that hassle unless I'm desperate.
