Oh no I'm not handwriting property/key checks and just checking that rows are written to the CSV (since that's not the job of that test, but test of the serialising function)
Dude must be really happy at home 🙄 -
I have to go through so much bullshit with the architecture invented by people with no technical skills… It went from invented problems to real problems very quickly.3

Why do people who put camera's on always insist others must do so as well? I don't mind when it's a special meeting like a retro or some form of team building thing, but I cannot be assed during standup - that MFer is meant to be over after 10 minutes. You guys go on an hour-long tangent, while I'm busy writing code, chatting to people and getting shit done, do you really need to see me not paying attention to the issues with the PHP project that are there because client X did something stupid. I'm already rolling my eyes while listening right now. Also, I don't want to put a "good" shirt on for 20 minutes to an hour meeting.19

I just ordered ticket on the DB website.
They took my money. Didn't give my train tickets.
This is why I hate germans. Scammerz26 -
So a few years ago I put tootsie rolls on little plates in the bathrooms at work. It took about a week before people started taking the tootsie rolls. I coined this experiment as the "bathroom candy" experiment.
Since it is April 1st I have revived this experiment, but this time I put Hersheys kisses on little plates. It will be an interesting experiment. But I am hoping for the phrase: "Who keeps leaving chocolates in the bathroom?!" or "Why are there Hersheys kisses in the bathroom?"
I expect people to be very wary of the "bathroom candy" this year. lol24 -
if you make a PR, do you sometimes just fix the minor error yourself and push it and then approve it?
for example: like a typo in a variable or a wrong translation11 -
Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!
They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!
The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!4 -
KDE Plasma can't into animations. I mean they can be beautiful, but they are immediately preceded, as well as followed, by ~200ms of all sorts of flashing visual fuckery that completely ruins everything.
So I just went and disabled every animation I could. Now it's time to disable animations in my browser as well.
Now KDE feels scary fast. If macOS felt like a fast but comfortable SUV, KDE without animations feels like a 1000hp all-manual EXO-car.
Knowing that a modern SUV can be remotely hacked and steered into ongoing traffic at 100mph, I would argue that an all-manual car is safer, at least for a certain kind of people.8 -
Using chatpgt as my "rubber duck" has greatly improved the time it takes me to develop solutions. Ive been working at a small startup as the full stack dev; aka the entire IT team dev so having someone to 'talk' to that talks back really helps.
but damn, the way openAI brushes off where they get their training data and having so many artist friends IRL (painters, digital artists and musicians) really makes me hate what we have AI/ML doing for us.
seeing it used for the arts makes me feel so depressed because im reminded that big corpos really just want to make money for the investors.10 -
Thought experiment (and I promise there are no plot twists and no metaphors -- it won't turn out that I was talking about tiktok/apple/censorship):
Imagine there is a cosmic horror entity that can annihilate us in an instant. It lives at the bottom of a pit. We as a species are being constantly sucked into that pit -- in this fictional universe, it's the natural order of life. The pit devoured many before us, and we're next. The pit is not conscious -- it's just a force that exists, and like a black hole, it can do nothing but attract things around it just to devour them. It has no choice -- it destroys things passively. It never changes the way it destroys things.
We know we should've been already done for long ago, yet we are still alive. We know that at this scale, it wasn't because of something WE did or didn't do.
It can only mean one thing: a very powerful entity consciously keeps us alive.
Can this entity be called "god"? If yes, why? If no, why?
Choosing either way tells nothing about you and your religious beliefs -- the universe is pure fiction, and known gods/religions don't work there. All I need from you is raw thought process.12 -
my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do
they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.
actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems
yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee6 -
I made an Ollama hub where you can share your Ollama resources with others to be used.
Long story, see https://ollama.molodetz.nl for information.
Uses of the API can just use their default api clients! For security people can only call chat completions api on the shared resources. Content gets validated before forwarded to your Ollama instance if you're a host.
I hope you guys like this concept. Donate your server!
See model availability here: https://ollama.molodetz.nl/models3 -

Is Mobile Application development still trending? Why are you not using cloud based platforms Why do you have to download the APKs and keep bursting your storage ?, by using it, you get an instant preview of your app in the browser.I wanna know the reality! But instead you go for cheaposss like diawi, Like whyyy ? ?????9

I'm slowly but surely make my KDE Debian's UX better than what I was familiar with on macOS. It's already _way_ faster.
When I'll get UX done, I'll get to UI -- all kinds of beautification
pro tip: AI is VERY good at configuring linux for you4 -
