Reframing run amuck
"But if i die this horrific terrible painful way it and noone sees it who i can tell is shocked and frightened it just becomes sad and terrible"
Ladies and gentlemen their stupid mindset and a part of the cause of problem
Everyone doing things that's deserve death
Like dogs doing tricks but in this case for a boot in the head instead of a treat
And no aspect of how they go is any less pathetic and sad than how they live
I think if you find the people who want to die for no valid reason or because they're pieces of shit who expect to horrify or kill someone who is innocent and adores them because they don't know them etc a quick shot to the head would save money and time not to mention trauma and suffering
Course you could just double cross them and let them think they'll get what they want and lo and behold their victim isn't there but the hungry thing is -
Just saw an article about a failing attempt at the UK to create a nationwide parking app.
Mostly because the many, *many* parking meter app operators in different markets don't want a single, interoperable standard.
But, there is one all of them must support or stop working entirely.
It is the "room temperature at sea level" standard for any western user interface: point and click, text input, English UI text.
Can't AI be a front-end for that?
This is also a rant about AI. There are sooo fucking many modules for siri or Alexa to be compatible with apps like uber or Spotify. Uh, why? Shouldn't the AI, that claims to he capable of recognizing images and text, just open the app and click on the right buttons?
I know why siri and Alexa and Google assistant and and chatgpt aren't capable of that - because it would free users from UX lock-in, and the corporate overlords would rather shut down the entire fucking internet.
But now with DeepSeek and other open-source moderately useful LLMs, could we finally be nearing the day when we can ditch the millions of marginally different apps and let the AI take over the piloting of their redundant GUIs?
Because then, even if app vendors don't want to work together and end up fucking up the aggregate UX for every smartphone user, we can just flip them the bird and let the AI blur their entire brand identity in the background of a "please wait while I operate some second-page apps to realize your request" message. -
People in the USA: We have a fetish for feet.
People in Europe: We are into meters.
Why do Europe people kink shame USA people?5 -

For people complaining that devRant is oh so dying and what not, it's you being dead inside. See my messages(https://devrant.com/users/retoor/...) this is full time messaging for a few hours now. It's alive and kicking, i assure you. I tried to work on something tonight but got totally distracted. Very terrible for my dev statistics since I monitory myself very well (automated).
The time I had left between messages were spent on Snek chat.
Heavy life.9 -
fuuuuckk why do you people expect me to lie ?
wait that translates too clearly.
*waves a red flag, then turns around in a circle, touches his nose, sticks out his tongue, stomps his right foot and says * I not like lie to get better places.3 -
Presenting your work and disabling all breakpoints sometimes feels like a driving license test but the brakes are disabled. Just pray nothing unexpected happens.3

Congratulations to the devrant app developer
I can tell it was written by a decent dev
Where other lazy things like graphical browsers fail when my phone is being throttled via my high speed data running out, somehow this app runs on the equivalent of 90s dial up speeds
Thanks for something to do lol9 -
I want to open a private rehab where I would delete your social media accounts, take your phone/laptop/internet access away, get you treated by a psychiatrist, make you take your pills on time every time, make you work, then spend your free time on quality things like reading books or making art, or exercising, or just sleeping, and when you disobey and say this and that — I'll beat you with a fucking whip. Oh, and you'll have a normal balanced diet with no junk food, sugar or sweeteners.
I swear to god that 90% of people's problems are solved by therapy followed by cattle prodding.11 -
