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.

You can copy the address of the search result into the way back machine or Google cache

You're absolutely right, true, but that will work for you and me, but not for your typical user, even the more advanced ones will be stumped at that point

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.
