Have you seen the new pedophile catholic school scandal in France?
I don't get what they're all complaining about. I've been to catholic school. Sexual abuse was the best part.37 -
It occurs to me that the only people left on devrant are shills, bots, racists, and insane people, and I've yet to decide whether to leave or count myself into that last category.59

I got an offer to be part of an asset management team in a position of "maintenance and reliability engineer" although I would be the IT/Infra/Network responsible. Basically chasing the integrator, and checking if they do their job according to expectations that the company currently doesn't have (🫣). I decided to let you guys decide.8

Well, my time with Slackware is nearing it's end.
It's quite an interesting one, I could really feel it's age, tiny mirrors into the past are thrown around here and there between the modern stuff, reminding you just how ancient this distro actually is. It's really unique (in a good way).
Compiling software to install/update kinda sucks tho, and compared to Gentoo you have less control over the compilation and the options.
The installation was VERY simple and easy, you can definitely see how it became popular back in the day for being an "Easy to install SLS", and to this day it was THE fastest install I have ever seen from a distro, took literally minutes, was surprised.
I also love the ncurses look that keept popping up every now and then, I like the ncurses TUI style.
It was a pretty fun experience.
Next: OpenMandriva.8 -
LOVE how these companies are keep publishing their "AI models" without verifying or explaining their architecture, their data collection process, and any validation scores.
Like, I am to just take your word for it working "better" because of a study done by the school of PSYCHED(🤪)?8 -
Are we at the f*ck holes off corporate life?
Have you all been busting your guts for corporate f*cks?
I'm so bored of corporate life. What else is there?13 -
Needed to show dad something on my PC, realized I needed to install something, was about to.
Dad: "Which Linux are you even using?"
Me: (Oh boy) "Ummm, currently I'm on Slackware... 😬 😅"
I can literally see the intense pain forming on his face as he copes with it, takes like a minute to recover from the mental damage I just inflicted on him and fucking yells (paraphrasing)"Slackware?!?! Really?? That is literally the first Linux I used back in *1993*" in a semi-desperate tone of surprise.
So yeah, that was funny. Gave my poor dad emotional damage today.
I am, SO sorry, dad xD5 -
So this conversation went to HR territory really fast:
ITGuy: Do you have a cable I can borrow?
me: Maybe, why?
ITGuy: My brand new cable won't work on this printer.
me: <hands my super long cable to him>
ITGuy: Hey that worked!
me: I will test the other cable.
ITGuy: <leaves>
me: <finds no issues and works fine with my computer testing with a speed test>
me: <talking to other guy> I think maybe he didn't plug it in all the way. Sounds like a personal issue.
OtherGuy: Wait, what?
me: I think anything I say after this is going to sound bad.
OtherGuy: Yeah, I think so too.
Things I thought about later:
My super long cable worked, but the ITGuy's shorter cable didn't. Maybe he needs training for plugging in cables?8 -
Last September my company did introduce mandatory office days again (company of 35-ish employees). One employee was fired for having problems with it because she could not commit on it because she has a small kid. She did not enough time to organise daycare due the extremely long queues for daycare.
And now my project manager did not show up to roughly 50% of the mandatory office days and it's just not being enforced for him.8 -
Void Linux. Good distro. But I switched back to Arch.
1. XBPS takes too much time
2. Consumes too much resources
3. Not enough packages.

At 14, my grandpa had a boyscout trip to Britany, france. He met my grandma near a fountain, they exchanged their address and started communicating.
They exchanged letter for ten years. In the meanwhile, she had married a man and had a child. But the husband unfortunately died of tuberculosis.
So they met 10 years later, at the same fountain, and he brought her to belgium to spend their life together.
RIP bonne maman you were the best1 -

Day 69 of "learning C#" or "this isn't C++":
Spent an hour maybe trying to figure out why I can't see Trace/Debug messages in the Debug output in WPF app. I have been doing a lot of testing in a Console app and Console.Writeline does what I need for testing and understanding how it works.
Today I am working a WPF app. I am using Trace/Debug.Writline and I get nada. Read up online and it "should" be working. I am compiling for Debug. I think, do I gotta actually run as Debug session to get output? Well, um, actually fucking yes. I know I can get console output if I want by changing app type/option or some shit. Its a group project so I don't want to mess with that for now.
Fuck you C#, WPF, visual studio! Whoever the fuck thought that was good default. I mean it probably is a good default performance wise. Fuck you anyway. lol9 -
python libraries don't belong in Linux
idk where this stupid python-futures library came from but it just broke all the stupid python-only libraries I got. unfortunately no alternatives to them. evidently if I just remove python-futures and reinstall everything it broke it all works. bruh please
God I hate python
it's also very inefficient and these libraries take up so much CPU for no reason. they don't even do much but idle too high. python. not even once.15 -
There's a guy in our all-hands who always does a magic trick on camera before starting. It's always very cringe.8

I started to work in a company as a Wordpress developer, where they made me technical tests even with React (with which I have no problem) and when they explain me about the stack they told me: “You must install XAMPP on MacOS” and deal with their Apache, .htaccess, etc. crap. Then I came across some spaghetti code. I didn't last a week. The developer joke came true.3
