You can be jealous, it's fine.

A manifesto

It’s so sad that this “Auth for Google authenticator” app whose logo definitely doesn’t try to impersonate google with a similar color scheme, with in-app purchases, is allowed to exist, while Lensflare’s JoyRant isn’t.

Never really had issues with Java, but this is so funny to me.

To date, the high score for toilet seat slams is 5 in one day. Not sure we will ever beat that score.

are you ready for new era?

Product idea:
Create an app to dox people. Then with poor coding skills dox the entire app community.

Joined a bunch of AI discord servers, and it's absolutely intimidating to even post out there. I kinda want to ask about a few topics, but I'm pretty sure I'll be chewed out for "not reading the source material" even tho I have and the questions still stand cuz it's still not clicking for me.

I just need a different angle to understand. 🥲

If a hashing algorithm is insecure, doesn't that make it a great compression algorithm instead?

I’m ok with a “bad” person. Everyone should have some bit of asshole in them. If you’re too nice it’s gonna creep me out

I was replaced by AI.

Because I couldn’t be replaced directly, e.g. by using AI to do my job, the job description itself was changed as the business pivoted.

We used to be a software development company. Now, we’re an online AI school. The thing about AI schools is that you can monetize unfinished prototypes — the only thing AI is good at — and the process of making them.

I wasn’t strictly “replaced” — they just found a small-scale way to not need engineers at all.

Well, it’s time to make my own startup!

One thing I like to do online is obscure references to old movies. If someone says or does something in a forum that reminds me of a character from a movie I will say: "Hello <character's name>" If the name is recognized people will say so because it is a fun thing. Or they will respond with quotes from that character. Other people will join in on this too. An example of this is calling someone Raymond who estimates the exact number of things in a picture. This is a reference to the character Raymond from the movie Rain Man. This character was autistic and could could numbers of things instantly accurately.

However there is a chance the name is so obscure that it just sounds weird. Nobody gets it. Maybe they recognize it is a reference maybe not. This goes unnoticed and unheeded.

There is an even more remote chance that this is in fact the person's actual IRL name. However, if they are on a semi anonymous platform then they cannot confront the person calling them by that name because that would out them. Also, if they PM me about it they are outed again. So if this occurs this person will now wonder how the fuck someone knows their real name. Silent torture and wondering about it for a couple of days.

There is never a valid reason for any UI component to respond to touch or click events until it has been visible for at least 500ms.

It's hilarious how employers disguise the concept of 'big pile of horseshit and stress' as 'challenge'/'opportunity'.

Give. Me. A. Break.

So the gaming industry was having huge profits (2024?), then they decided to layoff a bunch of people for "reasons", which displaced a bunch of people in the industry, who then became indies and are making good money, and people working for studios are salty about something they caused?

How cancerous do you have to be in your industry to be pissed at people trying to recover from your cancer?

"deprofessionalization" is this corporate speak for "doesn't have a cushy middle management job at EA"? I tried looking up the meaning and came away even more confused. You aren't a real gaming dev if you don't work for a huge studio?

Weird way to de-legitimize people who had to look for work elsewhere. The people who left or got laid off are escaping a shitscape for sure.

Realization today:
-I have serious traumas from my childhood after:
working on animal agriculture and industrial farms
-Living in a shit hole country during bombardment and war
-Couldn't get any job with a degree and was forced to leave with 300€ in my pocket to stay alive

I'm glad that all of this is over for more than 10+ years but I feel it caused a serious damage in my mental health.

Ahoy ye coders lol

you know how all these annoying body hairs pop up on your laptop in various places? Looks tedious. So the first instinct is to blow them away or remove with fingers.

So I'm sitting w/ my lappy on my lap, writing terraform resources, when I notice 2 short hairs sticking out of the hinge. Sure enough, I try to remove them. But they seem to be stuck. Probably got somehow tangled in the fan or the radiator.
What a stubborn pair of hairs.. okay, let me get a good grip on those buggars and PUUULLLL....... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

FUCK! THESE WERE MY LEG HAIR! STILL ATTACHED TO MY LEG!
