You only need Docker if you can’t use chroot.

It sucks that peripheral manufacturers don't fully support Linux. I've given Linux Mint an honest and fair try and I like it for being distraction-free and unbloated as opposed to Windows. However, there are too many things that don't work in Linux, such as connecting an external VGA screen through an HDMI adaptor, or to configure a Logitech mouse. It's a deal breaker.

My frustration for the day. And now onto fun stuff.

I fucking hate Figma.

It's primary use case is designing web applications, yet all of its naming conventions are based on SVG.

So you have to fight with designers trying to shoehorn SVG naming conventions into design tokens.

"Stroke" is border. Every time I see this I feel like I'm having a stroke.

"Drop-shadow" is box-shadow. This one really pisses me off because the properties you set for drop shadows are not valid drop shadow filters unless by some miracle the designer didn't discover the spread property. I suppose this doesn't matter because 99% of the time the code will apply a box-shadow anyway.

"Effects". FFS.

So people on the ElderScrolls subreddit keep asking where TES VI will be located. I have 2 predictions:

1. It will be all of Tamriel (massive like Daggerfall). The key technology to make this happen will be generative AI for assets. Bethesda indicated that they were waiting for tech to be available to aid in creating TES VI.
2. It will be Elsweyr province. Zeinimax registered the "Elsweyr" trademark back in 2020. This is about when they made noise about progress on TES VI.

If someone was posting under my account I had abandoned posting on this community having forgotten the people I got along with were replaced by ban happy pussies

And homogenous psycho fools who thought they were in control of everything in other cases

ah fuck I think I got CTS. I should learn Cursorless.

Hi folks of Devrant,

I’m looking for a remote job.
I’ve built multiple products over 10 years in startups and have skills in C#, Java, AWS, and SQL.

I’d appreciate any referrals if you know someone hiring.

Not sure if posts like this are allowed. I'll delete if it breaks the rules.

nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.

wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?

what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office

if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day

i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand

AI models don't work with any assumption. they're just very carefully weighted dice. autocomplete on steroids. there is no actual "intelligence" there, no understanding, no nothing.

just "calibrated randomness", in a manner

Kinda like germans or people who can't code in Javascript, but smarter

Saw this in my feed. Really interesting recap of the web tools market. I don't know much about this market or how these tools are used. Only what I have heard the devs on here talk about.

What are the next technologies you want to specialize in?

Just got a call by the ceo asking me 1 or 2 weeks before my contract is. Prolonged wether i’m up for developing along in Swift for the iOS app. Im a frontender who was struggling with #C mvc lately and now this…

Hi guys, I just joined...
I hope we have fun...😅

Cotton in German is Baumwolle, which is literally "tree wool".

Wow there's a new gong fu tea place. 7 euros for the gong fu yellow tea, that's so cheap (like you can drink your tea for an hour, in theory there's like 7 cups).

Tea makes me happy.

So it turns out that Rust's import resolution is Really Fucking Complicated
https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...
It supports glob re-exports and circular glob imports, conflicts are valid if you don't use them or if they ultimately point at the same name, paths may pass the same module multiple times. It's very convenient to use, I never needed to fight with it, but it's borderline impossible to correctly implement.

Guess who’s gonna lose her Linux from scratch virginity tomorrow

We started having trainings at work. I don't know what the driver is exactly, but I assume its some contracts thing. Once per month we are getting these. Me assuming it will be about lock and tag out, or shop safety. No. So far we have had 3 trainings: ergonomics, medical professional blood borne pathogens, and active shooter. I get the ergonomics one, but why we need hospital grade blood borne pathogen training is bizarre. I find the active shooter training both bizarre and interesting. Probably a sign of the times type shit.

I am driving home thinking about the whole active shooter training. The training said we should have drills for this. I am imagining a customer or delivery person shows up and we are doing active shooter drill. Probably needs to be planned so that doesn't happen.

The training talked about potential indicators someone might exhibit before becoming an active shooter. As they are going through the list of 15 or so items I was checking off boxes on that list for myself. I think at most I had 4 or 5 items. So I guess I am 1/3 of the way there. Not sure how many you got to get before it clicks and you are shopping for hollow points.

I started thinking about what has to go wrong for someone to want to come in and shoot everyone. Then I started thinking about the random posts on here. I realized some of y'all probably ticking a lot more of those boxes than me. Some of you are definitely on the "potential" list. Stop it, get some help.

I started wondering if I could be so angry to want to kill people. I decided for me that a lot of things would have to go wrong for that. Then I got thinking about the whole shooting thing. An active shooter has to know they are going to die, or be in institutions forever if they live. Its a permanent action with pretty conclusive results. The whole murdering people seems pretty messed up too. I don't even like seeing animals suffer. (Skyrim dismembering mods don't count.) Irreversibly hurting a person would be worse. Seriously, I think we can do better than this.

So I present to you the "active tasering" employee. You will get fired, you will go to jail, but you will see Suzy from accounting convulsing violently and then pissing herself. I honestly think tasering asshole coworkers would be a lot more satisfying. Also quieter so you can make it farther in the building before someone beats the shit outa you. You also will most likely just get charged with assault. (assuming nobody's heart stops) Not sure it would even be a felony. Out in 3 years? Worth it. RIP future employment though. Maybe I can be a lumberjack...
