fedora makes plymouth easy to customize and remember how. one command. not 3-4 :P

i am blessed to be friends with this totally awesome guy as my homie. He is your usual school topper(its been 15 years since we left the school, but that's his personality) , but he is the smartest of them all , making him a psychotic level dangerous guy.

So i attribute school toppers with their ability to mug up and remember stuff. I have realised the difference between me and the guy that used to top in my class was just that i refused to learn/remember the things that i didn't understood/liked. but they did it anyway without getting a satisfactory answer for the question "Why do i need to learn this?" (Yeah i know that photosynthesis or atomic reactions are something happening everyday around me and impacting me indirectly, but if my mind was set to become a computer guy at 15, i couldn't care less about those stuff)

But this guy... is genius... he not only learns/mug up the boring stuff, he adores that information as you would adore your kid. He will look at you in disgrace if you called any of those information as boring or useless cos he respect each and every reasoning to a stupid concept very very much .

Probably why he is a winner in life in so many race and currently in top 0.05% earners of our 2nd most populated country in the world, and i am still struggling

So why am i telling you all this? I again had another 1-1 with this guy where i learned tons and irritated the fuck out of this guy XD

hey devs!
Are you into gaming?
if yes, then which is your favourite game??

MAUI shell is killing me.
Maybe it was a bad choice to choose MAUI at this point.
Shell functions Don't have docs,
Only one page on Microsoft docs,
And the functions Don't even do what the Microsoft docs says they do.
And they throw errors without any information or reason.

My former employer refuses to pay out my vacation time per state law. Left a month ago but they have not disabled my company email account.

Small shop so no active directory but still shocked they have not disabled my access. It’s only outlook/ office 365 no access to network drives.

What kind of small, petty and (mostly) legal havoc can I cause?

Something annoying but causes no monetary damage.

Boy if they'd just kept things intriguing and lacking their starkly contrasted form of evil spirited sense of fucked up chomo humor even their worthless lives would be more interesting heh the difference between being intrigued and quietly miserably morally horrified remembered today

And then the dull bored unhappy distaste for a time period when you monsters converted everything over to some.queer disgusting stupid myopic single sighted soulless humor that reflects the true inhuman robotic obsessed and pointless nature of.your fucking existences. I won't say lives
There is nothing living in there

After very long time I am amazed again with the technology. AI is really unbelievable

Google Photos <-> Google Drive <-> Google Keep <-> Google Calendar interoperability is _very_ limited as I already knew, but it seems to be even worse for "non-technical" people trying to actually use it

Unattended laptops will have Arch Linux with KDE Plasma installed on them.

😸😸😸

Gotta love it when you wake up, with the deadline still ringing in your head, and your Intellisense breaks from one day to another, all because there was an update. Gosh how I love modern WebDevelopment

i hate these frickin javascript libraries. ive seen ppl say theyre for compatibility bc some magical thing makes normal js break, but then i see ppl bitch about particular libs being hell to upgrade. i see ppl say it's for ease of use, but then it seems like a hell hole.

you know what it is? it's frickin DRM. that's it. someone wanted to make sites and not have it be as easy to copy as looking at the javascript you have to download to view and use the frickin page. and they wanted some hopped up garbage to come out the other end but somehow still get used by a browser.

Go ahead, let the intern handle the payment feature

Wrote some code that solved a program in a semi unique way for the codebase. As in not oft used functionality of language.

Some time later... This might be hard to understand. Maybe I should do a different way.

Some time later... No, I will leave a comment to describe what is going on.

Some time later... That comment is kind of cryptic. Maybe should rethink.

Some time later... No, if the next dev doesn't know how this works then they should learn how it works. (reasoning here is that the functionality requires a knowledge of internals of language)

Some time later... Also, if nobody else gets this then they have to ask me how it works. Job security?

Some time later... STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS CODE AND MOVE ON!

Okay that's not a rant BUT I'm very grateful for whoever built Devrant. We definitely needed a safe space to be rude and just let it out without much filter.

To our toxicity 🥂
Cheers!

So we started using React with Polaris and Supabase and Vite and guess which one doesnt have very good documentation, all of then. Kill me like a command window task

HR is getting so desperate they are prescheduling me interviews attached with CVs in the hopes that I will interview the candidates for a senior, even though the candidates have no experience whatsoever in embedded software programming. Workday, JIRA and Excel does not count you absolute fucknuggets.

For fuck sake, I asked management to hire new grads or juniors, at least I can get a person motivated to learn, but I swear they just don't listen.

They just are content with wasting my time lol

Today Tornado Cash (TC) discord deleted, website deleted, devs got arrested.

Heres my question: although i believe TC didnt have any bad intentions in context of to help people launder money, how come the government can that easily shut down ANY crypto/nft if they really want to?

What exactly is "decentralized" here...?

TC was not made for money laundering, just like onlyfans wasnt made to be pornographic website - the Users are the ones who determined its fate.

If TC had a way to block illegal transactions, then that would be a web2 company and not web3.

And now when TC doesnt block illegal transactions in order to remain "decentralized" and "anonymous", they got arrested and their system got shut down. Ironically, so much for "anonymity" and "decentralization"...

This means the government is able to shut down absolutely any and every crypto, including BTC if they really wanted to. The question now remains is: why are they letting it roll and not shut down the whole of crypto?

What if crypto was a part of the governments plan for a future financial world where they can control, freeze, block or shut down our finances with a click of a button just as easily as they arrested TC founders today?

I finally finished reading the goddamn book. 🥵
