@jestdotty written text is very bad for conveying emotion and tone. That’s why emoticons were invented.
It’s funny how you think that everyone should instantly see your shift in tone in a freaking chat text message. And someone failing at it must obviously be autistic.

Now, I don’t take offense at being called autistic. Maybe I am autistic after all.
Also I don’t really care if you see me as funny or or not and if you see me as having a good sense of humor or not.

You just desperately seek to find something to not to deal with what I say by telling to yourself that you were just joking. Haha, I just have no humor, that‘s why my objections to your bullshit are not valid!
It’s really not too far away from the classic "haha I was just joking" response from someone caught in saying something really stupid and not wanting to admit they were serious.

@whimsical what do you mean? I fixed it in JoyRant

I‘m not able to post rants again, so posting it here as a comment. *sigh*

I made a fix for JoyRant to display the user images.

As mentioned by jestdotty, the issue is that the cert has expired for the domain of the image URLs.

JoyRant has been using a 3rd party lib to load and display images by URL with a customizable caching mechanism.

To allow to ignore the ssl issues I had to implement my own version of that Image view component.

@whimsical the avatars come from https://avatars.devrant.com/ so your proxy probably wouldn’t work.

In German it’s Quoten-
Line in fulfilling a quota.

@afaIk ohh, look who’s trying to not look like a pathetic little shit! Adorable.

@jestdotty I was almost willing to take you seriously until you pulled your "SCIENCE" bullshit out of your ass again.

@jestdotty maybe you simply weren't as good as you think and that‘s why they didn’t take you seriously?
Knowing you from devrant, for me it sounds plausible.

@jestdotty oh, the old jestdotty is back. And I started to wonder if you changed for the better.
This time I won’t bite the ragebait though.
Go troll someone else.

@jestdotty thx for that info. Now I need to find a way to fix it in the app.

You live 1 hour away from a beach? I‘m so jealous 🥹

At least I managed to post a rant for the first time in months.

Checked on web desktop, also broken.

@jestdotty Your way of saying things always leaves me wondering wtf you actually wanted to say. I also don’t know if you agree or disagree with me. :D

But I will say that consistency alone isn‘t going to improve anything. So you're wrong.

Here is a simple example:
Naming every variable and function with a string of the letter "a", like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" is consistent but stupidly useless.

Aww… that‘s nice of you. You associate what you love with us.

Maybe you‘d be interested in hearing that I associate what I disgust with you.

@afaIk we already have that "programming language". It’s called JavaScript.
You write your code and then you hope that it doesn’t shit itself at runtime.

Honestly it’s about how you deal with complexity as the code grows.

If you neglect some principles of good programming, you‘ll soon be overrun by bugs which don’t make any sense.

Gen AI only makes it worse as you don’t have full control of the code and also don’t have the knowledge of the code. You are fixing problems by their symptoms rather than by their root causes.

@whimsical at the same time god forbids many things that the law allows.
To eat specific kinds of meat, to wear specific kinds of cloths, to have a specific sexual orientation, to work on specific days, and much more.
Of course that’s not god who forbids it. He doesn’t exist. It’s the people who invented god who like to forbid this.

@whimsical I’ve nothing bad to say about gifs :]

It’s fascinating how different and weird the skills of people can be!

> Do not forget that the mental hospital is a commercial company.

This is very concerning. It begs for being abused to make money and it probably is.

@whimsical dark stuff.

@whimsical so you are officially insane? Nice 😅

From all of the definitely insane people here, imo you are one of the least insane!

@whimsical God forgives anything. Except for not believing in him, of course.

You can be the most horrible monster of a human, a mass murderer, a torturer, a rapist.
All you need to do is go to church and say you‘re sorry. And you are forgiven.

But if you don’t believe in god, that is such a horrible offense that it can not be forgiven by christianity or islam.

Your brain on religion.

@whimsical healthy mentally, physically or both?

Obviously everyone's physiology is different and what one can and should eat vastly differs from one person to another.

Luckily for you organisms don’t really require functioning brains to survive

I think @b2plane would be a good fit.

I don’t want to discourage you from working on a 3rd party client for an almost dead platform, because I‘m the same kind of person. 😅

But I really wonder how many people actually use those.
