I shall commit sudoku to atone for my sin

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Repent ye sinner and post three socially awkward socially awesome penguins, NOT one thing other thing penguin and ye shall be redeemed!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Are we talking penguins that represent different linux distros? Because most sure match "socially awkward" and awesome

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We talking sudo rm-rf /* sudoku here or the kind that you'd find in the newspaper?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That sounds like a command that could work, sudo KUUUUUUUUUU, the more Us the slower it details the important files being deleted, without allowing you to cancel the command

Can you also atone for my sins while you're at it? Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Ooh, do we have another Jesus situation going on here? I'll hop on on this.

Memes are art and this works

Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. "Hey I want to buy microchip X123457" - "Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you".

Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Not to mention that it changes the actual results if you decide to use any of its shitty filters or even order by price. Like, if your search result had 4 pages and you order by price, suddenly it's now 2 pages. My bet is shady assholery to fuck with sellers that aren't paying enough, much like Amazon

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The category filters of electronics distributors used to be good (some still are). But then they started letting business people categorize the products, and now finding stuff without having a part number is basically a lottery.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

hell, even with a part number, you still have to sort through a bunch of irrelevant stuff. I swear they must just "select all" when assigning tags to phone cases and stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Fuck phone cases and bad search. I just got the Sony Xperia 10 V. The whole Sony Line is just changing the number to 1, 5, or 10, and the Roman numeral from I to V (and growing).

Good luck finding anything. It literally took me hours (including advanced Google Fu) to find out that the style of case I want doesn't exist for my model. (But the 10 IV has it.)

Is there a site that categorizes cases by exact model? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Swear they've made search worse everywhere to keep us on aites longer.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Go to Google and search the site from orbit.

First few results are keyword sponsor ads from the same site taking you to their front page instead of what you searched for.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Good luck sorting by price

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still works on eBay for now, the one thing they haven't broken.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

eBay really has one of the best search engines around, IMO.

Once you know how to use parenthesis, quotes, and minus, you can build very precise queries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Boolean search is better than natural language search, once you know how to use it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Meme format is wrong. I do not accept this meme.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

👊Hold up, buddy! 👊🤔Spotted your Gru's Plan meme 🤔👉, but quick tip: ✌️Keep the text in the last two panels the same for that slick punchline! ✌️😂Consistency is the key to meme magic. 🗝️👌Give it a shot, and you'll nail it! 👍😄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't get the downvotes. You expressed that it differs from the usual meme formula but it's very obvious that you aren't serious. And it's kinda funny reading the text whilst imagining those bullshit emojis. (At least I hope that the emojis weren't serious)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

yeah this kind of sarcastic post was a pretty common trope back in the day on r/copypasta, so I wanted to bring some of that back

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I don't think I've ever added the ability to filter via the text field on any search system I've built. Normally there's checkboxes and categories though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Which are often lacking. If I want to search for everything except brand X, I have to check the box for every other brand, which is a hassle. If I'm looking for "pirate costume" and I don't want anything related to One Piece, there's no checkboxes, or anything, to help me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

You should really implement the basics, "quotes" for exact match and *star as wildcard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how many people even know that the hyphen works on google.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Not even the Google search team. You can no longer negate search terms in Google or Bing or DuckDuckGo. Any suggestions for a better search engine?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do what now!?! I can’t use standard search operators on google anymore?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That’s what happens when stuff gets made down for the dumbest conceivable user.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I've been using Kagi for 2 months and swear by it. It might feel silly paying for a search engine, but I'm now the customer instead of the product, and I can customize my searches the way I want.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

What are you talking about? I JUST did that on Google a few hours ago and it worked fine
