everything suuuuuucks, faaaawk

I would like to share this beta, and I will add that I am super grateful for devRant, but I wanted to have an online platform where I can live out my creativity and that I can use as a lifeboat at times when devrant loads in 5 minutes.

I have few things to complete before open sourcing it.

Wait. Is devRant no longer on the store?

I’m really going to miss this place ._.
It feels like a piece of me is dying.

Everybody is being so melancholic

"bye everybody"
"i guess this is the end"

lol, like devRant didn't have its quirks for years. At some point it'll get fixed and then we can have our shizo responses back.

Ya don't have to be so dramatic

Phone broke, screen fell off 😣 Now I can't download devRant on my new phone 😅 There's a community Android client, right? What's the name and where do I find it?

JoyRant build 40

* Added spam detection!
* Fixed weird black background in encountered users view
* Fixed aspect ratio of placeholder user image

Spam is detected using a spam score system.
Specific words and patterns increase the score and once a threshold is reached, the rant is considered spam.

In the feed spam rants will be less visible (max 3 lines of text, smaller and half transparent text and no images) but you can still open the rant (maybe to check the full rant to see if it is really spam) and downvote.

This can be disabled in Settings but is enabled by default.

It’s phase 1 of the spam related feature.
I will approach phase 2 later since it‘s low priority for me.

Feel free to contribute to the spam detection config file via PR:

I don't want to see pop ups for software updates once per week for every frigging application I use.

Just leave me alone with my work.

All our developers from abroad has finally arrived in the office \o/

Except our only black developer

Thanks power shell

Today I spent 5 hours debugging.

It was a config issue.

Not sure privacy would ever be guaranteed with ai chatbots.

This is too surreal

> The button in question works only if you are registered and have your information filled in.

> Registered and filled out the information.

> The button won't work right because the damn website just does not think I entered anything.

This is why I hate online job hunting

Google’s new login page is awful 🤮

My CTO told the COO and CEO i'd be finished SOC2 compliance by the end of December... On December 14th.

It takes 3 months to do the audit, let alone all the actual work. I hadn't even started yet.

He was fired shortly after that.

hello devrant

I can't even

I am sick of misrotated videos.

Sometimes, the phone camera software saves a video vertically because the user hits "record" before the software has detected that the user is holding the smartphone horizontally, because the software stupidly launches in vertical orientation by default.

So the software wants the user to wait until it has finally detected horizontal orientation, which causes the user to miss out on a moment.

How about the camera software actually saves the video in the orientation it was recorded in for the most time, rather than only the beginning of the video?

If I can think of this idea, billion-dollar companies surely can.

In the meantime, misrotated videos can be fixed using this ffmpeg command on Linux or Windows:

ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -metadata:s:v rotate="0" -c copy output_file.mp4

And if the phone was held with the home button to the left side:

ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -metadata:s:v rotate="180" -c copy output_file.mp4

This solution is superior compared to using -vf (video filters) because it only touches the metadata of the video. No re-encoding. This means no quality loss and no CPU/GPU power needed to process the video again. It just passes through.

It's the story about our devRant meetup back in October 2020. Hope it will bring you a little tear to your eye. 🥲

It's okay to make something nobody wants.

I wasted a lot of my life being too scared to make something out of fear. This community especially can be very toxic to people that are starting out, that aren't geniuses, that didnt make every perfect decision for their product.

Life is more enjoyable in a create-fail-learn loop than a consume-criticize-gloat loop.

I wish I'd learned that sooner.
