There is nothing easier than running an insurance company in the US of A. When a big request comes in from a client in distress that got into a terrible accident that is definitely covered by their (very expensive) plan, you just go to the data bank like Equifax and see if they're still rich enough to win a lawsuit against you should you refuse to pay.

For those of you who don't know what a data bank is: data banks are companies that buy/scrape/suck in every last bit of data they can about every person in the country, and then resell it through their fancy UI with all the convenient features and metrics.

So, Umbrella Insurance Co. goes to Equifax and asks whether Joe Schmoe's accident is severe and life-ruining enough that they won't be able to sue us. Exuifax says: let's see... Joe's Revolut©™ account has the grand total of $80.12, with $7,382.25 recently spent on medical bills. Joe's WhatsApp©™ (a Meta©™ company) classifies their recent messages as "desperate". Joe's iPhone©™ Screen Time©™ is increased, and Joe is doomscrolling a lot, especially on The Washington Post©™ (a Jeff Bezos company). All signs show that if you don't pay them, they won't be able to out-sue you. That would be $0.12, thanks!

As a person who is no one in particular that may or may not have been a US of A's supreme court judge once said, "sometimes it's not about justice, but about making the sucker spend all their money".

AAAAAAAH

NEW GUITAR HAVE BEEN SENT

so everyone seems to get brainwashed already and doesn't mind it

does it mean humans consent to brainwashing implicitly? 🤔

humanity, do I have your consent to brainwash you? 😁

why else would you let other things brainwash you? 🤔

Wow, compared to youtube, people on devRant are actually a sane and friendly bunch.
Shoutout to the crazy idiots here, I love you all! 😄

I am here, once again, to remind you of a simple fact.

Ostream did not delete himself.

— I want to be the leading expert in a very complex and arcane field of software engineering that is only used by huge companies!
— Done!, says genie, as very detailed and extensive knowledge of how to program DVD menus is violently pushed into my brain.

So my towns 4th of July parade got rained on. It became the largest wet t-shirt contest I have ever seen.

It got a lot better toward the end as the rain let up. It ended up being a lot of fun this year. No sun burns either.

These github assholes really shat the fan when selling out to M$. I'm trying to access an open source project. I can't. Apparently I'm IP banned. I never go there beside to download software once in a while.

Motherfuckers.

TIL that WebGL treats IBOs and VBOs differently from actual GL, supposedly because it makes security validation easier.

That means you can't `glBindBuffer` to some target and fill in the data, because when you later `glBindBuffer` to `GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER` you'll get 0x0502 GL_INVALID_OPERATION.

One problem though. This is not documented *anywhere*, either in WebGL `.bindBuffer()` or in the GL ES `glBindBuffer` :V

So, four days ago I announced dr.molodetz.nl as a https proxy because the certificate is down. And i just did not check it for a few days. Without not being published anywhere, this are the usage statistics: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...

31Gb. Those are no jokes. The crawlers are like that these days. Every AI company has their own crawler now too. It's mayhem. 487.000 requests...

Getting your wisdom teeth out is no joke.

I feel like I ate a half a bowl of Captain Crunch.

the mistake: `v=ptr` should be `v=*ptr`.

WHAT ARE THESE MYSTERIES

What kind of music are you listening to while coding?
Is it instrumental or lyrical?

Sometimes songs with lyrics districts me

We're so back guys! Someone starred my truthchain repo - at this point I'm sure we'll kick X (twitter) out of business! There's only like 90% of the features unsafe and broken and every release has a major flaw and is broken and requires extra bs to work, but it's fine at 0.1.6, imagine someone actually contributed or makes a comment - I would immediately quit my job and dedicate full time (not). 😅

I swear, some frontend devs just don't care about us who work at the backend. How hard is it to do a simple git pull? Frontend dev I'm working with just keep pushing his changes.
