The lost meme in question was like this: A post on r/notinteresting saying "I don't know anything about programming, ask me anything." A comment asked "How to kill the child process?" Then replied to himself: Who reported me πŸ’€

For my FBI agents, I always add "linux" or the programming language name to the start. Except for "Go", which I still search as "golang".

As an aside, fuck everyone that names things without thinking about the search results. "R" is especially terrible. "Go" is saved by "golang". "Python" with programming. "R" is not saved by anything.

Google's become shitty enough that it barely matters. "We didn't find many results for the thing you typed, so here's something else."

I've googled exact phrases I know took me to the results I was looking for just a few years ago and gotten exactly nothing.

It's just so sad to see the business majors win yet another front in their war against humanity. At least Google Scholar still works. For now.

Is it actually Google, or the vile SEO scum or both?

Vile SEO scum aren't why "open watcom" returns "did you mean: wacom tablets?"

Yes, you're right - I forgot about all the fuzzy logic they've incorporated!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuzzy is not the first f-word I'd choose.
