So I had someone question why their system was broken after they installed my software and all of its dependencies to /usr by hand... ._.

If you come to me asking for help about why my tools aren't working or other tech support questions I will immediately assume whatever info you tell me is wrong.

Why the fuck does the Win10 SDK require 2.7 gigs free BEFORE asking you what to exclude from the install?

Well shit. TIL "using namespace" within a namespace applies to the entire flipping' namespace, not just the bit between the braces. Fuck.

Fucking fuck this mother fucking cunt filled arsehole ridden brain dead idiotic world we live on.

That is all. You may now continue browsing devRant.

How the fuck does Windows not have a zip command!? I mean there's a Powershell command but it *only* took until 2016 for that to be a thing!

Why is searching for what certain DLLs do literally impossible? I don't fucking care that "downloading dlls is a bad idea" and that I should "check the recycle bin to restore it" - I just want to fucking know why my program won't run!

Awful idea of the day - Have a programming language with no comments, but regex preprocessor macros. Use macros to define your own comment syntax and strip them before compiling.

#define /\/\/.*//

I don't think GitHub expected 1,000k+ on the code frequency graph...
(Look at the scale on the left)

Why the fuck can websites use non-standard cursors? Why the fuck does Wikia allow you to do this? Why the fuck is Wikia a thing?

Fuck Christmas

Exactly what I meant Google!

Thanks!

Good job Microsoft.

It's 20-freakin'-17. Why aren't decent internet speeds the norm yet? (And I'm not taking about rural areas, I mean near the town center). If my and a friend are both streaming a movie, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FUCKING GIVE UP HALFWAY THROUGH JUST BECAUSE HE HAS TO KEEP PAUSING SO FREQUENTLY TO FUCKING BUFFER THE DARN FUCKING THING! WHY!? I CAN'T FUCKING FOLLOW A MOVIE IF THERE ARE CONSTANT FUCKING INTERUPTIONS EVERY TEN OR SO FUCKING MINUTES FUUUUUUUUCCK.

Yay my first merged pull request on an open source project ^.^

Play games all the time
Oh and think that I am now their tech support :/

Hello...?

Just finished installing and configuring Arch on a USB drive - because fuck waiting 20m for Windows to boot and log in on slow af college laptops.

I challenged someone to exit Vim today >;)

Minor annoyance
You can't "click" on a touchscreen! Stop telling me to click buttons on my phone.

The joy of cleanup <3

Algo's at it again

Rant *r = new Rant(jobs.atEnd());
r->send();

Segmentation fault. Core dumped.

People are making rants about how they're fed up of seeing Linux vs Windows rants or what not.
Well here's my 2 cents - I'm fed up of seeing rants ranting about the rants! I see more of those now than I do Linux vs Windows or other similar rants!

That's my rant about rants about rants.

In computing class, we were asked to identify different connectors/ports in one lesson.
Someone couldn't tell what a USB port looked like >.>

Debugging is fun sometimes.
Especially when said bug fills up RAM, sends a bunch of guff to VRAM, and pins a core at 100%, rendering my computer near unusable in mere seconds.

(I accidentally load the same texture maybe a hundred or so times)

OCR (The exam board for my course) are fucking thick in the head when it comes to anything computing.

- I get a mark or two for saying open source software is worse than thier propritary counterparts
- ALL open source software forks must also be make open source. They spend so much time going over the legal stuff BUT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OPEN SOURCE LICENCING!
- One exam paper had a not gate picture with 2 inputs...
- I have to differentiate between portable and handheld! YOU MEAN HANDHELD DEVICES ARE NOT PORTABLE!?!!?!?
- In level 2 education, OCR say 1 MB = 1024 KB - In level 3, they say 1 MB = 1000 KB, and 1 MiB = 1024 KiB, and expect you to differentiate. Why do you expect the wrong answer in level 2!?
- INFORMATION FORMATS AND STYLES ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS! If you look up synonyms for "style", "form" is there, and if you look up synonyms for "format", "style" is there.
- When asked for storage devices, I have to say "smartphone", "tablet", "desktop PC" - I mean yeah they store data but when you ask me for storage devices I will say "hard disk drive", "solid state drive", "SD card", etc. >.>

I could probably go on an on about this...
I sure do love being asked to copy-paste existing HTML/JS/CSS and being asked to just tweak it here and there, and then wait for other people's incompetence in copy-pasting... I sure do love being stuck with this sort of "education" ._.

So this was a conversation.
tl;dr You can't just FUCKING RECOMPILE for an older OpenGL version you dimwit!

Context: Person Y has OpenGL 3.1, my program requires OpenGL 2.1, but refused to launch with "Pixel format not accelerated"

--------

Person X - Today at 9:28 PM
Nope
or optionally compile it for old opengl
Or just use my old junk.

Me - Today at 9:29 PM
No

Person X - Today at 9:29 PM
Why?

Me - Today at 9:29 PM
You don't just "compile it for old opengl"

Person X - Today at 9:29 PM
I can
Btw

Me - Today at 9:29 PM
For one, Person Y has an OGL version new enough so... /shrug

Person X - Today at 9:29 PM
shrug

Me - Today at 9:30 PM
And there is no way I'm ripping the rendering code apart and re-doing everything with glBegin, glVertex, glEnd guff

Person X - Today at 9:30 PM
You don't have to

Me - Today at 9:30 PM
You do

Person X - Today at 9:30 PM
Just use a vbo
Than a vba

Me - Today at 9:30 PM
I ALREADY USE FUCKING VBOS

Person X - Today at 9:30 PM
....
There's two typws
Types
Btw one with indacys and one with out
Ones 3.0 ones 4.0

Me - Today at 9:31 PM
tl;dr. I am not rewriting half of everything for worse performance just for the sake of being compatible with even more legacy OGL, that might not even work anyway for Person Y. idc

Person X - Today at 9:32 PM
Plus if your using glut you can set the version I want to say
Also it's not worse

<Some more conversation>

Person X - Today at 9:33 PM
Btw crafted [Me] taking th lazy way as normal
Btwx500

Me - Today at 9:33 PM
Taking the lazy way eh.
You have no idea do you

Person X - Today at 9:33 PM
Yes you are
I have more of one :p
Than you think

I found a way to make me procrastinate less on my own projects today! Stream development of it to Twitch.

Yes, there may be nobody watching most of the time; yes there may be nobody interested in a wall of text and no voice; but you just feel the need to stay on-topic when streaming, and I kinda liked it.
