how much is people heading in the direction they were always going to head in vs actually informed by their environment / adapting to their environment, or making decisions based on anything you can say or do instead of what you are and look like and the fact you're just there as an available option to utilize in the pursuit of the direction they were always going to be headed in anyway?

these days you gotta be a hacker to use regular people software because things are so broken...

for weeks now I can't browse to one specific channel that makes videos on odysee. but if I go on my desktop and add their latest video to watch later I can click and watch it on my phone. but on my phone clicking the profile of that channel always breaks the app, and ONLY their channel no one else's channel. no amount of cache clearing ever fixed it either. like how does that even happen lol

upside, if you put for example rumble in the floating video window on a phone none of the ads ever play, and that's been a "bug" for years and they either don't know or hadn't bothered to fix it. Only reason why that platform is watchable

How can people use an OS with this double slash syntax, this is nothing but conceptual error in the making of an OS.
Bill Gates and his mate are a bunch of fucking dickhead.

Why is monitoring so hard for IT people to understand? There's metrics for trending and analysis, then there's alerting and notification for things that need attention. I don't care if a server is using more than 80% memory or CPU, it is just doing work, don't alert me about things that are working, alert me about things that need fixing. Yet the "monitoring SME" where I work is clueless and can't understand this. Great, after working 50-60 hours a week, now I have to handle on call and being constantly pestered about things I can't/won't do anything about.

Object Oriented Programming:

Morpheus:
"...you'll just have to see how deep the rabbit hole goes..."

Does this seem familiar to you:

Presentation:
On how we are going to deliver the project to the client when the whole stack is fucked up right now.

You:
You give a sensible speech on what needs to be done. You present architectural graphs and you speak logically.

Crowd:
No one listens. Crickets.

Chad programmer with zero programming skills (doesn't even know how to use a terminal) comes along and says:
No worries pplz. We got this. cause we are INSERTCOMPANYNAMEHERE! Yeah!

Crowd:
goes wild

Just goes to show how people like charismatic idiots rather than people who face reality and know what they are talking about.

I am the next door kid of retoor.

the AI people are absolutely manic... so annoying

I just want a boring data-driven presentation of how cool AI is. Not "by this pattern it looks like how CPU power followed moore's law" and "look at all these graphs where humans couldn't predict innovation". oh my god I was here for a hacking LLMs convention not a sales pitch. they just ruin content, even content a normal human has somehow been suckered into doing

"I wAs SkEpTiCaL ToO", he says

well I was here to see what the LLM could be useful for and its memeable achievements, not your stupid sales pitch of excited mania of OH MY GOD PLEASE JOIN MY CARGO CULT which is taking up 80% of your presentation... how can you take these people seriously

I guess I've been annoyed at people for far less discrepancies in the past, so as always this too will be accepted just like everything else

Hello? Is anyone still here?

i shit too much

Here's a funny thought:

In my attempt to make a game of GTA 5 quality
I may have missed that GTA 5 was released 13 years ago

It's still my north star, I don't care :P

Programming has some weird logic, I tell you...

The principle of vacuous truth (perhaps taken from mathematics):

Stream.empty().allMatch(Objects::nonNull);
This means: "Do all elements in the stream satisfy this condition?"

Stream.empty()
Do all zero elements satisfy the condition?

Q. A.I.:
"Why the answer is true

Because there is no counterexample.
There is no element that violates the condition
So nothing disproves the statement

This idea is called vacuous truth in logic."

It really grinds my gears when I hear things like: "This list has NO elements that DON'T qualify it". Double negation.. just annoying.

Examples:
"All apples in this basket are red"

If the basket is empty:

You cannot find a non-red apple
So the statement is considered true

boolean allMatch = true;
for (element in stream) {
if (!predicate(element)) {
allMatch = false;
break;
}
}
return allMatch;

Now run it on an empty stream:

The loop never runs
allMatch stays true

So the result is true

I think you would have quite some experience with programming to be used to this one. lol

AI being infested everywhere reminds me of Halo 1 Flood. lol

Got a new job around 6months ago. At my old job, I did controls (which was mostly logic and device drivers) and we couldn’t pay for cursor/claude so I had never really used those tools. At my new job, everyone uses them and my boss is a power user. I now only do math too which is interesting.

I hate the LLM tools. I can’t learn the math from them, and their code is shit.

I hate that I mostly write PRDs and requirements files for the LLM to do for me.

this is the first year doing taxes is uneventful... I am so freaked out by it

so I don't have to try to get access to my account on a website that randomly can't take in valid information for hours a day for 2-4 weeks?

the login just WORKED?! I didn't need to send a picture of my passport and the AI telling me I don't look like myself on suspicious as hell websites until I'm locked out?

it even PULLED PREVIOUS YEARS of information?

I have literally never had previous years pull ever succeed

here I was setting aside at least a full day at best but it's taken me under an hour

I have never heard of this and I am scared

government is too powerful if it suddenly figured out how to fix its technical issues. surveillance state now. omens of darker things to come. THE END IS NIGH

What the fuck ms teams.

Adding your account...
Almost theeeeeeere...
Setting things uuuup...
Almooooooooost...
Omgggg...

Thanks for hanging in there

What kinda fuckos. lol

I give my opinion about vibe coding in the C reddit. Permanently banned for trolling. Moderators do not respond to me. I hate this leftist platform so much. Ban ban ban. Everything is a ban.

I'm convinced Microslop is now 100% staffed by vibecoders, because what PM/dev/CTO/etc... with ANY real-life experience, in their right fucking mind would approve to forcefully change every user's theme for VSCode to a new one?!

(I mean i know why, they are desperate for validation because they dont actually do any real work, so they went full manager mode and wanted to show off their new “dark 2026” theme by forcing everyone to look at it)

Okay what is this shit.

You apply for a job, they dangle the carrot on you for over a month, cancel multiple appointments, finally you have an interview, they seem happy. Then they go on vacation two weeks.

In the end they end up rejecting me because of 'internal decisions'.

bull shit. Shit bull. Fuck cluck fuck muck.

few days ago my ability to automatically plan things out in my head and to "actually remember" to do them came back... which is apparently called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

this is actually the funnest shit. I loved this state and being "overburdened", because it feels like you're running an orchestra. it's sad though that it's been 1.5 years since I've been trending up from my cognitive issues (which doctors insisted don't exist) and it's only come back now (and of course 3 years prior to that where I was wandering around totally lost like a dementia patient, of course not checked for or acknowledged because the system says you're too young to have it so we won't bother even though that's not how definitions are supposed to work)

I feel like my life has been stolen from me and I cry about it all the time. you really figure out the underbelly of how ruthless and messed up people are. whereas before all this I had a catholic upbringing (despite being atheist and from an atheist family) where they taught you every person has fundamental value and believed in helping people, but now my whole world view is just utter misanthropy instead because humans are just outright disgusting scum turns out. morals for you but no we won't help you we'll just try to look high status to fuck you harder, repeat. if you try to help yourself we'll gaslight you because your offensive to our unfounded beliefs is more important than your life and your whole universe and every belief you ever had or could ever have, tehe, fuck you, got/getting mine off your back cuz you cant defend yourself tehe suuuckerr

j/k people don't even giggle when they fuck you. If they did they'd be more likeable. at least they'd be enjoying themselves, playing a game. but they don't view it as a game. they 100% believe they are doing the right thing, and that's terrifying and so dark

after prospective memory now my imagination seems to be coming back and i can think of 3-4 things at once in the background again... I'm actually having trouble telling the difference between dreaming and thinking when I wake up. before my imagination was invasive and was 90% of my experience, over physical reality, like while I'm focusing in physical reality. it's crazy you can lose that sort of brainpower. I'm still not there to that degree, as new "features" come back in glitchy spurts, but it makes me want to cry in a good way. I didn't think I would ever become myself again. I actually stopped being able to remember what it was like because I was sick so long

there's still so much missing. like for about a month now i can think more complicated intuitive thoughts, but if I try to put them into words I can't... eventually the ability to word them turned up but then the words end up sounding very stupid and after I say them the intuition disappears and I get very embarrassed and also frustrated because I can't bring back the intuition and I just forget it and am left with the stupid words that didn't capture the intuition. All my life I was so good at explaining things, numerous people would comment on it and befriend me because they loved I could guess what they mean and put it into words using my intuition and I guess explanatory abilities. I feel barely even human so much of the time because of all these things I could do so easily before, which made me me, but just up and disappeared... and it used to be so much worse when I was sick, that feeling of not even being human. Except the cruelest thing of all is I could never even cry out loud and communicate it, because that required human abilities I was missing hahaha... I thought I was shouting, I thought I was crying. but I don't think I said anything at all. I think I was just a vegetable, just trying to remember to feed myself, and having even no sense of hunger or knowledge of food preferences. Those also came back in the last month. Isn't that sad? lmao. I guess prospective memory is the system that tells you you would like to eat a certain food in the future
