Agree on all. But devRant is by far the best platform out there. We're not big, but since when is the best mainstream? Have you ever reed the ToS here? If you misbehave, they'll find you, they'll get you, and then they'll help you.

is there a presentation mode-like thing on?
also if linux, check the boot entry to see if swap is added properly, otherwise it borks -
YEAH LETS BLOW SHIT UP. LETS START A DEVRANT RESISTANCE GROOP
ANGER AND RAGE IS ALL WE HAVE LEFT
LETS BURN STUFF -
Nmeri172571h@melezorus34 It's windows. I removed the external battery and forced shutdown. I think it happened cuz of those useless updates. I've disabled it from services.msc and settings but it still downloads automatically whenever I connect my Internet. On me old windows 8 workhorse, it was permanently disabled donkey years ago. On this one, don't know how to go about terminating these disruptive patches. Internet costs in my country are exorbitant. When I connect my phone's hotspot to do my work, next thing it's Microsoft draining all my data bandwidth for their useless patches
Everything hurts. Starting from DevRant preventing me from making separate posts except I wait two hours. I'm infuriated at such a stupid rule like wtf is it supposed to achieve ffs? I'll just merge both rants into this
Next are the discriminatory fucks on reddit. I hate this platform for a number of reasons but the one currently on my nerves right now is the warped stigma against contributions from users with site rep below a certain threshold. How do myopic freaks like this make it to a position of authority?? Being knowledgeable in a given field is not exclusive to reddit users who were able to amass a ton of upvotes. It automatically excludes everyone with potential to stir valuable discourse. Just cuz they're not well liked on the platform
Basically, you earn points on cheap subs, come leverage them on the "prestigious" leagues, where those animals could lynch you. This isn't even hypothetical. Several times, all the visitors on a thread would launch a vendetta on a user (usually the OP), mass downvoting all their content on that thread. They're like wild beasts feasting on carcass
The next group absolutely pissing me off are organisations that use 2fa. How did this crazy design get so popular?? It makes absolutely no sense cuz in the event of losing my device or if the dev to whose device it was tied to leaves, you're fucked. You'll lose all your accounts. You're always calling some colleague holding the phone for codes. You need to snap barcodes on one phone and scan on auth app. Everything about it is so frustrating and painful
I was forced by github to use sms for 2fa. I'm already reluctant about working on this project but I drag myself to the system and try to sign in. Turns out the security conscious dickheads let me view my secret gists without being signed in, but they won't send the 2fa code. I faintly recall a mail that it was getting deprecated. So after what felt like eternity in perdition, I manage to setup the app type 2fa but what if I lose the phone or it's formatted?? I'm locked out! So so stupid. One of my banks sends OTPs to my line. The other doesn't. But a useless organization hosting my OSS that nobody wants to use is bent on ruining my life with their insane security measures. So So daft. What's with the excessive paranoia?? Same goes for facebook. Just send an alert to my mail if ip or location is suspicious and I'll click a confirmation mail. What if my screen is bad and I'm trying to login on another device?? How don't they think of all this before tying authentication to a physical device for christ's sakes?????
And then there's the horrible customers I've been getting on my fledgling business, along with a supplier as well. One requests for location, implying seriousness. Then ghosts. Another one wants to buy a commodity for less than half its price. How do you bargain from 330k to 150k? I rallied around for an alternative at 170k just to make sales. At the end of the day, he only wants the one for 330k. I wish I could take my skin off and black out. I'm so tired and cranky. I woke up so early today to be productive but everything I've met ever since has been nothing but pain and sorrow
