I now have 6 storage drives, ranging from 512GB SSds, to 2GB NVMEs. Out of almost exactly 6TB of storage space, I'm using about 60% of it.

Having so much data seems a bit obscene.

alright so I opened a big ass curtain in my office, and it seems the sun glaring the fuck out of the screen of the person sitting in front of that window. But it's been weeks now.

Today I found out who is sitting in front of that window. It's the guy who is working with me and whom we had dinner last week.

omg I'm so sorry for opening that curtain.

remember kids. your full potential is dictated by others, not by you

I am creeped out and I hate society

i suspect big spam attack soon from the wheelchair elite. https://dr.molodetz.nl will be soon the non-spam version of dr when that happens. It can just filter the spam directly when the bots can't handle it anymore. It also optimizes usernames for clarity: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens....

I want to buy a 4TB external drive, with the sole motivation to "preserve" as many games as I possibly can. I know it's not enough, but I want to save my fav games before they're completely gone from the internet.

I could do that, but then what if the Operating Systems go to shit? What if Windows rolls out an update, where you can't run .exe files anymore? Everything has to be installed and run from the Microsoft Store? What if an "online-only" version of Windows gets released and all previous versions get removed?

I know duh, get the Windows 10 cracked iso file as well. But it just depresses me, looking at the hoops I have to jump if all I want to do is enjoy older games.

Imagine having an ac breaking down when it’s a big heatwave. I kept taking cold showers but felt shittier and shittier. Was kinda surprised when I read the dangers of cold showers during heat waves, but tbh not THAT surprised bc I was wondering why I wasn’t feeling any better after all those showers lol. I got it replaced, but damn!

Angular sucks the joy out of programming.

I don't care for any of your sins of people, government, organisation, companies. I don't mind them at all.

But I only mind one thing: Lying. The one thing that pisses me off. If I had a gun I'd put a bullet right through your eyes.

Speak the truth even if it leads to your death.

I’ve typed a question into google and the AI generated response was directly contradicting every web search result on the first page.

So, you can’t even rely on it to pull out the correct info, on top of the fact that it might have hallucinated.

Completely useless and deceptive.

It’s depressing to think about how many people blindly rely on this crap not realizing how bad it is.

🧠 Built a game from a prompt in 30 seconds… and now I’m emotionally attached

I used this tool called jabali.ai, and it basically lets you create playable games from text prompts.

No code. No engine. Just chaos.

Dropped this at 2AM:

I didn’t code a single thing, and now I have a guilt-tripping NPC asking me if I’m okay.

As a dev, this both scares me and makes me want to build weird stuff faster.

I noticed an increased usage of the word unalive, such as in "to un-alive someone" on youtube, spoken in the videos and written in the comments.

I suppose this is to avoid the word kill?

So we are at the stage of changing the language just to avoid using a bad word on a platform of hypersensitive woke snowflakes who will cancel you for saying a specific word regardless of the context it’s been used in?

Please tell me I‘m wrong. 😒

Suing AI firms for piracy is right up there with charging mobsters for tax evasion, but that's the world we've come to.

Java is such a cool language. I can't C bugs.

Natalie Rupnow, the Wisconsin school shooter, looks EXACTLY like jestdotty. Before posting her "manifesto" which was a google doc, she forgot to make the link public, so no one actually read it -- intelligence level checks out too!

Shitty jobs and not staying up to date make you stale. Probably having to find a new job, my skills are barely updated and now I find myself in a shitty situation. Going to have to do my best now.

Don't let a demanding, shitty job cause you to stay behind! I can't stress it enough. Dev skills are transferrable, employer dev skills mostly aren't, especially if you are tied to their brand.

For fuck's sake, what are the creators of tailwind thinking? So, I made the mistake of upgrading to tailwind v4 and now my site is broken. Who in the fuck thought removing half the features is an "improvement"?.

wE've mAde ConFiGUraTion EaSier with CSS.

Sure, let's see. It sounds neat on paper, a "CSS-first" approach. But when you've got existing projects with a meticulously crafted tailwind.config.ts file, it's not simplified at all, it's a migration nightmare. Suddenly, my custom colors and breakpoints are all gone or behaving unpredictably because the new system decides to interpret them differently.

Do these people actually work on any project that is long-term or is everything they work on just green-field?

Because when you have hundreds of pages and custom built rules, and now eveything is broken for no goddamn reason, it's not fun, is it?

I've now wasted days on this shit when I should have shipped so many features.

I simply can't wait to switch my career to something else. Like, this stuff is just so bad man. Come on.

Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭

But I got into paint by numbers!

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

Fascists and Nazis
Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
“Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on

Changing Global Protect Gateways should not be the hardest part of my job! 😭🤦🏽
