Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.
Other examples that are horrible to search for:
matrix/element (yields html coding and other unrelated info)
Signal (pretty common term for anything but the secure messenger)
Shit, I remember googling "How to kill a child", my next search was "How to kill a child process." I'm probably on a list somewhere.
I think we've all been at a point like this
For matrix i only got the movie's as a result
While I understand the idea behind the naming scheme of matrix, it's an awful name. The naming behind synapse/dendrite is better I believe. But I don't have a better idea.
It was renamed, thats what pisses me off. The client was renamed from riot (much more unique in software context) to element. I assume riot was not investor friendly which is a lame ass reason too.
