I don’t use Google directly, but as part of the open source meta search engine SearXNG, where we can specify what search engines it will use. And the top result is from Google and I can confirm that Plasma 6 for Arch is now officially been canceled. And it’s linked to Reddit. :smiley:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I seen a post on mastodon yesterday that said if you're using google to search for anything, the trick to getting useful results is to include
before:2023and ignore anything newer because it's probably just AI generated/prioritized BS.I don't think they were entirely wrong in thinking that, tbh.
before:2023would just show content from 2023 and earlier I guess, right? That means new content is not available to you anymore. Plus, I don't think this has anything to do with AI, because Google can process the data from any date with AI. AI is the tool to access the data, which can include older and new data.The issue isn't Google using AI to process the data. The issue is that the internet is filling up with AI-generated crap.
That issue is older, but even worse since chatgpt
It's not gonna stop Google's internal processes from deciding to pick complete BS results, and you'd definitely be ignoring new genuine content too, but as long as your not looking for results on something time sensitive it would tune out a lot of the AI generated noise out there from the crazy rise in ChatGPT content-farmed articles.
You won't get plasma 6 release at all if you searched before 2023
