(youRant)
Blyat. Actually finishing with the notifications themselves wasn't really that hard, there was less work than I thought. But instead what was hard, is god damn doing background shit in Android.
Fucking spent the entire day today (well, not wntire but something like 6h) trying ,any different ways to make the app "poll" in the background, checking the RSS for mentions, and after trying so many, fucking none of them work.
Also fuck the android docs so much. I fucking hate this platform(Android, nor dR).
So I guess no notifications in the background for now, only when in the app.
I'll do the "correct" thing and do the stupid Firebase thing, that will be for a future version tho. Ugggh, I could've been done by now if not for this stupid shit.

Ignore this, need to test notification mentions for youRant.

Added profile pictures finally since that was a thing that's bothering me, it makes such a huge difference.
Before and after because it won't let me add links in the post for some reason?....

Stay tuned (Hopefully, very hopefully) for a youRant update tomorrow(/today, depends on TZ), or the day after that. I'm trying to Blitz through finishing the features I've started trying to implement because I'm (potentially) getting deployed again in a few days and I have no clue if there's gonna be internet there, so I'm trying to release the update before then while trying to find time to code between a million other things (apologies).

At minimum you can expect Notifications about mentions(Which is mainly what've I've been doing lately on the "hour here hour there" I have), and not seeing the "Slim Application Error" anymore when browsing rants. Which embarrasingly has already been implemented in the development version for at least a month or two already, and I just didn't have the time to work on the other parts of the update.

This could've been finished 2 months ago if I didn't keep getting distracted and having to split my attention between a million things.

Would be a shame if I don't manage to finish in time :/

the AI people are absolutely manic... so annoying

I just want a boring data-driven presentation of how cool AI is. Not "by this pattern it looks like how CPU power followed moore's law" and "look at all these graphs where humans couldn't predict innovation". oh my god I was here for a hacking LLMs convention not a sales pitch. they just ruin content, even content a normal human has somehow been suckered into doing

"I wAs SkEpTiCaL ToO", he says

well I was here to see what the LLM could be useful for and its memeable achievements, not your stupid sales pitch of excited mania of OH MY GOD PLEASE JOIN MY CARGO CULT which is taking up 80% of your presentation... how can you take these people seriously

I guess I've been annoyed at people for far less discrepancies in the past, so as always this too will be accepted just like everything else

I am the next door kid of retoor.

Does this seem familiar to you:

Presentation:
On how we are going to deliver the project to the client when the whole stack is fucked up right now.

You:
You give a sensible speech on what needs to be done. You present architectural graphs and you speak logically.

Crowd:
No one listens. Crickets.

Chad programmer with zero programming skills (doesn't even know how to use a terminal) comes along and says:
No worries pplz. We got this. cause we are INSERTCOMPANYNAMEHERE! Yeah!

Crowd:
goes wild

Just goes to show how people like charismatic idiots rather than people who face reality and know what they are talking about.

Object Oriented Programming:

Morpheus:
"...you'll just have to see how deep the rabbit hole goes..."

Why is monitoring so hard for IT people to understand? There's metrics for trending and analysis, then there's alerting and notification for things that need attention. I don't care if a server is using more than 80% memory or CPU, it is just doing work, don't alert me about things that are working, alert me about things that need fixing. Yet the "monitoring SME" where I work is clueless and can't understand this. Great, after working 50-60 hours a week, now I have to handle on call and being constantly pestered about things I can't/won't do anything about.

How can people use an OS with this double slash syntax, this is nothing but conceptual error in the making of an OS.
Bill Gates and his mate are a bunch of fucking dickhead.

Fuck this Windows shit, Fuck the EU govs who use this shit. SHAMEFUL.

these days you gotta be a hacker to use regular people software because things are so broken...

for weeks now I can't browse to one specific channel that makes videos on odysee. but if I go on my desktop and add their latest video to watch later I can click and watch it on my phone. but on my phone clicking the profile of that channel always breaks the app, and ONLY their channel no one else's channel. no amount of cache clearing ever fixed it either. like how does that even happen lol

upside, if you put for example rumble in the floating video window on a phone none of the ads ever play, and that's been a "bug" for years and they either don't know or hadn't bothered to fix it. Only reason why that platform is watchable

how much is people heading in the direction they were always going to head in vs actually informed by their environment / adapting to their environment, or making decisions based on anything you can say or do instead of what you are and look like and the fact you're just there as an available option to utilize in the pursuit of the direction they were always going to be headed in anyway?

ever been scared to read a book?

relatedly, has a book triggered you?

AI is so good. In 6-12 months no humans will have to do anything anymore. Some of you might still fuck their wives by themselves. Luckily for you, I left in the comments a way to never bother anymore with that. You HAVE to use it, otherwise you’re gonna be left behind.
