I'm not explaining why I am saying this, but,
Fuck AI, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck Sora, Fuck Sam Altman and especially, wait for it, especially, Fuck Devin.7 -
For the love of buggery, stop watching bloody videos on your bloody phone with the bloody volume turned up.
I was thinking about something, just starting to get in the zone, when suddenly that tinny little speaker opened up a portal into the howling chaos of the underworld.
It sounds like cats fucking in an empty grain silo.
For the next half an hour, there is no room in my head for anything apart from the diabolical echoes of that bollock-wrenchingly hideous noise.3 -
I really really really need more RAM. 16GB is far from enough. Had to witness the kernel kill all of my Chrome extensions and most of my tabs and an IDE and still it wasn't able to run that container in the 8G RAM it just freed up...
I remember the days when 8G RAM was an overkill.
The times have changed. Now I'm looking into getting a Linux lappy w/ 96GB and still worried whether it'll suffice my needs....11 -
Just submitted my first app to the Microsoft Store 🎉🎉
It's a simple offline password manager that also accepts other formats of data such as credit card and personal info.
Made it using WinUI 3. To prevent you from forgetting your master password, each "locker" accepts an unlimited number of passwords. If you forgot one, you can just use a different one. This is my idea to make offline password managers a little less of a hassle.
Can't wait for approval from the store!13 -
moterfucking google stop wasting my time with your endless captcha bullshit.
You know exactly my fucking home IP, I don't have time to select your fucking bicycles, hydrants and buses.
And all you motherfuckers who use google captcha go fuck yourself because you are dumb as fuck7 -
The saga to recover my FuckedIn account continues. Now, they're not replying regarding my latest upload of ID, since the previous one they claimed it was unreadable.
I am going to spam those motherfuckers until the end of time until I have my account back. Can I not sue them for incompetence?2 -
It's time for war!
I have two examples doing the same thing. They're bot generated by chatGPT.
React:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
function IncrementalButton() {
// Create state to hold the count value
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
// Function to handle incrementing the count
const increment = () => {
setCount(count + 1);
};
return (
<div>
<h2>Count: {count}</h2>
<button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
</div>
);
}
export default IncrementalButton;
VUE:
<template>
<div>
<h2>Count: {{ count }}</h2>
<button @click="increment">Increment</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
count: 0,
};
},
methods: {
increment() {
this.count++;
},
},
};
</script>
<style>
/* Add your CSS styles here if needed */
</style>
Whats better in your opinion?18 -
Love working alongside Angular devs, I wanted to add a page with a table and a modal, ended up creating something like 15 files and I'm not even halfway through, must be nice living with a brain the size of a pea.2

Every tool in the JS ecosystem goes out of its way to support faulty or outdated variants of every interface, yet nothing is actually forgiving or fault tolerant. Publishing packages is exactly as agonizing as consuming them, even though both sides have tens of switches and probably hundreds of automatic heuristics to align themselves to any hypothetical setup on the opposite end.2

I hate that the general consensus to the solution of “themes” has been exclusively dark/ light.
Not only does this make it future un-proof in case “light blue” becomes a common style choice, but it already fucks up TODAY when considering high contrast themes!
Who made this shaky system the agreed standard!?9 -
What games made you racist? Or had racist content when you thought about it? (Whether intentional or not.)
Skyrim (somewhat Morrowind too, not Oblivion). I hate piss elves (high elves). They are condescending cunts. Didn't much care for Dark Elves in Morrowind. They were always swearing at me. Orcs are kinda stupid, but their abilities made me respect them. I have great respect for the Nords. Some of them wanted to murder all elves. I am okay with this. The Foresworn are gross.
Minecraft. Didn't make me racist, but had some interesting inclusions. First off all the villagers looks Jewish and are the arbiters of trade. Weird that. Then there is the Endermen. They are black, they steal blocks, they were introduced with watermelons (maybe not true, what I heard), and want to fight you if you look at them. I wonder if they will get changed later because of this...
You know a game is doing something right on their stories to get you wrapped up in the politics to choose sides. I think this may be part of the success of Skyrim. I hope to make my own players polarized on topics in my games, but in a good way.24 -
Relentless, thankless routine of coming in every day and everybody hating the software team despite working our ass off to help everybody and fix mistakes that upper management has caused.1

Had meeting with higher ups.
Higher ups sad work hasn't progressed as much as they want.
I look at my calendar.
Barely 15 mins free for the day for a small washroom break7 -
Well, I thought "hey, I need to urgently update my own infra for a change, been neglecting this way too long, but should not be longer then a day."
I spent the whole weekend dependency resolving, modulesyncing and ensure deps are met ... And every single goddamn time it's stdlib causing a whoupsie on another module...
Oh at least I am having fun. Sort of.1 -
Fuck PHPMyAdmin.
It's not PHP nor MyAdmin, it's trash. 0 stars. (/s)
But seriously, why is this the de facto database editing software in every PHP hosting I use. I haven't found anything (ANYTHING) Adminer doesn't do, and _better_.18 -
You were hired, not adopted.
The company is not your family.
The office is not your home.
And your boss is not your friend.
You owe nothing there beyond what you are being paid for.5 -
I hate cloud services, dependencies and updates.
It's a snowball system and we are all caught inside. -
Found this line in code that's been in prod for 10 years
"int kak = object.getValue()"
There is no contextual reason for it to be called kak, which means shit in Afrikaans13
