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.

Bro same here hahaha i've had to catch myself trying to google (aka use reddit) stuff I want to find information about, like 3 times already

I would rather just not look up information and figure it out myself, than use real google search to find information. Fuck their infested clickbait articles and useless shitty microsoft support posts lol. Reddit has spoiled me so much

I gave up and just removed reddit Boost from my phone's home screen. Work productivity is going up hahaha

For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.

I disabled the Infinity app on my phone, so even if i click out of habit it stops me

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.

I’ve already opened and quickly closed Apollo a dozen times today. Time to break the habit. Going to start reading instead of doom scrolling.

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