(just in case someone is facing the same challenge and desperate enough for making an effort and not just simply sending the same pdf again, a headless LibreOffice command using infilter and outfilter options did the trick, while LibreOffice's UI didn't)

If you get bored by Docker, try NixOS

Like when the context menu does not open or you can't place text below a table? Of course, the system will freeze or crash eventually just when everything looks like it should after 2 hours of random trial and error. But that's just when editing content.

The real fun starts when you try to extend and provide new content modules for those systems as a developer.

everyone will be celebrated for becoming famous by engaging in shady practices, open ai is just a recent example, see Musk, see that other jerk running Amazon, see Jobs ...

don't know why Gates never made it into that thunk hero league, maybe the time wasn't right

@matthewbdaly and they introduced React in their block editor to get the worst out of both worlds

in public service, you might also deserve a higher salary just because you are older or have more kids than your coworker.

Every recruiter on LinkedIn: "here is a JAVA front-end position"

@Lensflare now I can't unsee this patter in our printer's blinking lights :-)

It's a trap question. Urban hipsters have no car (other than a campervan) but the most unpractical bicycle in a silly retro design.

Did you write about "Indians" again?

You should say "native Americans" instead!

a bit like those apparent conflicts

<<< main

++ "foo": "^1.2.3",

===

++ "bar": "^2.3.3",

<<< head

"baz": "~0.1.2",

<<<<<<< main

-- "version": "2.0.1",

++ "version": "2.0.2",

===

-- "version": "2.0.1",

++ "version": "2.0.3",

<<< head

(not the exact syntax, retyped from my biological memory, plus additional blank lines added by devrant on save)

@c3r38r170 but at least you will die a hero.

That kind of announcements has some similiarity with those one-time-usage-links mentioned in another rant: a preview should not cause irreversible actions.

@jiraTicket So essentially, one-time-usage-only-links should not exist for so many reasons, but most importantly they violate the Principle of Idempotence that should apply to all GET actions on the web.

@c3r38r170 shouldn't pull imply fetch?

unless it stops at its obscure message and doesn't update anything?

@Lensflare > @donkulator A company with only salesman, promising shit that they can’t deliver ...

... is every other successful Sillycon Valley "tech startup"

@jestdotty a company of engineers arguing about font choice all day, that would be a company full or designers or frontend developers

@asgs yes, but I had to search for the settings search feature :-)

@jestdotty that subsistence state is where modern capitalism turns into communism or what 20th Century states made out of it: provide a minimal living standard and keep the people occupied and distracted.

@jiraTicket never thought of that, but it sounds plausible. Maybe those links are only supposed to work in Outlook mail

Zero to hero tutorials are a flawed concept anyway.

Yes, billing by time is easy to communicate, and it gets easier the more hours or days there are.

Customers might argue about 4 vs. 5 hours, but usually they don't care much about 40 vs. 50 days anymore.

And, yes, when I' m in a project with low hourly rates, I tend to bill more hours to compensate for my underpaid but above-average service.

That's one hell of a requirement to add one of those useless cargo-cult items like repeated email. Why not add another one to make them repeat and remember a third time on another page, maybe that will prove if they are human after all.

Have fun when you did all the refinements and another coworker doing the re-review will ask you to revert most of them.

It will become boring. But it already is.

Maybe it will just stay and flood the media and internet like bad pop music nowadays.

welcome back to the racist shithole

Microsoft has a good reputation for having been among the first to offer some assistive technology in their products, and the flaws of Outlook and Teams seem to be less obvious on Windows than on Mac, Linux, or Android.

So there will always be one friend or coworker ready to defend Microsoft and try to gaslight you for just being to dumb to use Outlook in the right way. Same toxic mindset like some senior Linux and StackOverflow devs by the way, but that still doesn't make it right.

I still believe that some frustrated employees try to push bad UIs and edge case errors into production as their only way of revenge against their employers. Don't blame on stupidity when evil is a better explanation!

9 + Sara Soueidan + Temani Afif + ? + ?

at least a little hope left that I might be one of them ;-) XD

We are chatGPT. We assimilate. Resistance is futile.

Do they even use their own platform? I don`t like React and I don`t like Insta, but facebook.com is the worst of all ... or , well, wait, there`s that metaverse BS

who never sleeps
