Should be ILLEGAL when newsletters do not have a "unsubscribe" link 😡

When you have a problem, google it and the stackoverfl0w link is purple...

Posted a Google form link for recruiting interns for my startup. Here's the response I got

BETA USER: Is this feature working? When I add a link I get an error that says "URL cannot be more than 255 characters."

ME (biting my tongue): Hi ****, Yes it works. The link you're trying to add is too long. Please try a shorter URL.

BETA USER: Oh, it should tell you that!

😳🤪🤬

After years in frontend, I still have to google how to link css and script files in html.

*sigh*

Ssh'd into raspberry pi:

$ sudo ip link set dev wlan0 down

*waits 5 minutes for response*

Oh.. Oh yeah..

This may interest you guys! (Link in comments)

Googles best javascript framework.

1st link: react is the best one.
Me: Ignore

2nd link: Angular is the best one.
Me: ignore.

8th link: Vue is the best one.
Me: I knew it.

How do mobile sites know when I'm about to tap a link, and then load something and shift everything so that I tap the wrong link?

Send me the link!

Wondering why that link doesn't work.
My junior developer uses onlick instead of onclick.

I remember that one time I accidentally copy-pasted a pornhub link instead of a trello card's to my commit.

So I was asked to help migrate an application to AWS, asked for the codebase. Received a GitHub link in my mail (Usually is a zip file). Satisfied I open the link to see a repo with a hundred zip files time-stamped with version numbers

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

Anyone else who tend to click on the link below instead of the one above?

Friend: Bro there's a life outside the internet also
Me: Send me the link

Client: Let me send you the files needed.
*client sends link to their own Dropbox folder page, not actually sending a shared link*
Me: Uuuhm, the link you've just send is only viewable by your account.
Client: Oh, hold....
Client a bit later: *sends actual Dropbox credentials over email in plain text*

Why.

The IE version of any website should automatically direct users to a link to download a better web browser

Unsubscribe link on an email results in 403?? WELL FUCK YOU TOO, ASSHATS!

Link speed...?

Client: I have a issue with my video.

Me: ok can you send me a link and I will take a look.

Client: I can't send you a link but here is a screenshot.

Me: FFS let me debug that screenshot for you.

Error 404. Dead Link.

My mom: "there's a virus in my phone! It says so when I open Chrome!"
Me: "...stop clicking on strange links that your friends send you, mom. Nobody will ever give you free Nespresso capsules for life as a gift."

Every damn time.

snapchat can piss off.

i sent a LINK. a LINK. in chat and it LOCKED MY ACCOUNT. it wasnt even a bad website. FFS IT WAS MY WEBSITE I MADE A FEW YEARS AGO.

ALL I DID WAS SEND IT IN CHAT.

NOT ONLY THAT, THIS HAPPEND THREE TIMES ALREADY.

FUCK OFF SNAPCHAT.

- use this link
*provides him a link of the same page

LOLOL

Link your devrant on your linkedin.

Am I the only one that can't remember how to link a CSS file in HTML? I must copy/paste every time from an other project :(
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">

Depression is like email newsletters, nobody signed up for that shit and the unsubscribe link never works 🙈 fuck that 📧

I want my tombstone to write : "This stone is a symbolic link to my soul."

I did not create this and could not find a link to true creator. Still pretty funny though

We recently signed a huge deal with a big, very known vendor. I asked if they had a web interface to the software. Of course, they said, and gave us a link. I clicked the link and was asked to install java. Turns out the web version is just the desktop version wrapped in a Java applet. The applet didn't do well with openjdk, so they asked me to file a support ticket. They gave me another link. The service desk required shockwave flash.

This link shortener service. It's nearly good enough for public testing.

Finding a good domain name, though.... 😅

"Nobody read term of service anyway, so why bother fixing the broken link, right?"

Look, @dfox - I'm simple man. I just want to put my GitLab profile link instead of GitHub

I have been told to get a life, can someone give me the torrent link?

The best about DevRant is that you dont have to think twice about clicking a link :D

Since I posted a link to my girlfriend's portfolio website... you guys faked my analytics...

When you stuck on a bug and your boss sends you a link from stack overflow

That moment when you build a really cool webapp in under 2 hours for another department, you send the link to the head of the dept, and he replies few minutes later with just a link to a youtube MV... Tina Turner's 'Simply the Best' 😄😄

Client:  (via email) Wondering if this link is available and active.

I click the link. It takes me to the page, which is working and functional.

Me: Yes, this link is both available and active.

Client: Great, thanks for checking that.

Me internally: Did you seriously just SEND ME AN EMAIL to ask me to click a link for you?

When your programmer partner send you localhost link :D

Let me just delete this symbolic link and leave it copying the folder to the ssd real quick while I go to lunch...

Lessons learned:

1 - don't put a fucking / at the end of `rm -rf /path/to/link`

2 - don't ignore the warning of it being a folder after trying to `rm /path/to/link`

3 - backup your fucking dev database too

4 - don't do stuff hungry

SHIT!! FUCK!!

I work as a freelancer on *****.com also I have published a theme on theme***.com

Client: here's the link (link to my theme)
Me: (oh i will make money from both side :D ) do yoy bought a license ?
Client: (shocked) who need license , download it from *****.com
Me: (crying in background)

It gives me utmost pleasure knowing that even people at Google forgot to remove the link to Orkut for three years!

When you redirect every movie link to XXX links on your rip-off netflix school project and nobody suspects a thing

*right clicks link*
*Clicks "open in new tab"*
*Switches to new tab*
*Closes old tab*

Thinking of auto adding ‘you dumb fuck’ to every email I send to a client. Fucking useless time wasting bastards.
Example: I’ve forgotten my password for the cms can you send me a link to reset it.

The login page has a link clearly labelled ‘forgot password?’.

I send a screen grab with a big red circle around the link and some polite text, which I was desperate to add ‘you dumb fuck’

Why are the displaying the link then ?
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I got through the first stage for a summer internship at Amazon. They send me a link to a technical test with a 7 day deadline to complete.

The link brings me to a 404 page. Fuck.

I contact customer support, reach out to Amazon directly, don't get any response whatsoever. The week has passed and the link is still dead and I s received no word from them.

FML. And fuck Amazon for teasing me like this and for having such shitty technical support.

Does anyone know a way of to do a video chat through node js (socket.io) or have a link to any resource? NOT through webrtc.

I used to have a link on this but lost it 😥

Meaning to give an end to end encrypted web video chat a chance.

Guys, can we just not shorten links when pasting them here e.g. using bitly?

No idea what’s behind it.
I’m paranoid enough to copy paste every link before using it to see if the shown link was the actual link or just a cover. But with bitly I have to go to that page without knowing it’s target before I get there..

Hope most of you agree with me.

Been struggling with this problem the whole day without success.

fuck you whatapp for not formatting the links properly and not displaying the entire links

I lost my referral bonus due to this 😥

*It did displayed it properly on the WhatsApp web version but it fucked up on the phone version*

see for yourself people,

My fellow coworker dev just sent a staging site link to our CFO to review some new functionality...

CFO clicks on our corporate HQ link in coworker's email signature instead and berates coworker for sending him the wrong link...

This person is somewhat largely in charge of making decisions that affect our digital marketing, website budgets, and strategy.

I can't make this shit up.

Uhhhh VSCode django extension, I appreciate the highlighting of the link to the documentation, but maybe it is overdone?

"Just link your ide to the prod server and dev like that"

Pro tip for job candidates:
If you push a code challenge to a live hosting service like github pages or S3, don’t give the reviewers a link to the repo!! Instead put the link into the home page and send the reviewer only a link to the live hosted page.

Why?

Because, if you host with github pages, you’re required to use the project path as the domain root. If the reviewer pulls your project and doesn’t bother to read your readme file with the link at the top, he’ll complain that he couldn’t figure out why your project isn’t hosted from the root domain, and he’ll pass on your application.

True story.

Just clicked on a link of a rant. Now I can see Androids error pages on all devices!

Someone on here, a while ago, posted a link to a github repo having a huge ass list of open source projects for about anything you can imagine.

I lost the link 😥 anyone an idea? (can't find it either)

Oh is it now ?

Disclaimer: Dont goto the link...

I want that link too!

Hard at work moving the unofficial devRant api documentation to GitBook.

I mean what is this shit? Html in the link field. Misspelled USA. Wtf... They're getting lazy.

I just had to put a Button + Link on a page.

the btn opens a link
and the link doesnt open a link, but copies to clip board.

And if u dont see whats wrong with this picture, you are part of the problem.

I hate it when you get tunnel vision and forget simple solutions exist. Especially when you make yourself sound dumb in doing so.

Spent a bunch of time trying to wrap my head around how you could send data from one website to another and dynamically load content and all this other stuff, only to be told a GET call would make it a lot easier.

With my head in the clouds thinking of complex solutions I said "can you open a new page with a GET call?"

Can you. Open. A new page. With a GET call.

Yes, dumbass, of course you can. Here I am trying to figure out how it's possible to intercept data from a different websites HTTP call to the server and I asked if it's possible to do what ~literally~ a link does.

You know you haven't coded enough when you forget how to do an html link.

I feel like making a slack integration tool that tells bad coworkers and managers to buzz off.

They message "hey" automatically send a link explaining why that's dumb and wastes time.

They message "do you have x minutes?" Automatically send a link showing them how to use Google calendar.

They message you "I need a status update on x", automatically send them a link to a tutorial on how to use jira.

Add in custom regex, custom links, and people filters, and you've got a stew going!

There was a bug in "Change email" module. When the functionality is called, it sends 2 emails:
1. to a current email w/ a link to 'reject email change'
2. to a new email w/ a link to 'confirm email change'

The flaw was in how these links worked (the clockwork behind them). If one link is clicked, another one is NOT deactivated in the bkend :)

Now the task for you is to figure out why this is wrong :)

I hate when I click a link and it opens a download.

When you search google for a fix and you find a solution on the first link you open.

Got a mail from bank.
Had the link 'IN THE PICTURE'. The end is near.

In case you need this link again, we’ll send out the PowerPoint, which has the QR code you can scan. WTF. Can’t you just put the damn link in the PowerPoint ?

Forgot syntax. Google "jquery xxx function". Click on w3 link. Copy and paste.

I don't get the point of spamming a link...
Let's get on a long journey with Android Studio by my side (or not if I read these rants)...

Edit: Compression fucks it up... you can still see it's the same link being spammed.

When a Developer searchs a specific github link in the whole browser history...

NPM has this cool feature called "link" which allows you to easily link local npm packages as dependencies of other local packages for developement. It's so cool in fact that everything you run npm install it deletes all your links for fuck all reason

1. Youtube to mp3
2. Paste link
3. "YTMp3_best_song.apk has finished downloading"

Why! Why!! Why always me!!!

This UI when I click on an Amazon link on my Android 7.1.2. "Welcome back to Android Gingerbread !"

I just installed and lunched Opera Browser and I see Mozilla's get started link on bookmark..
How and why?

So apparently there's going to be some sort of "link tax" for creating hyperlinks to other peoples websites.

What's next is the EU government going to start requiring people to register a license to run a webserver on their computer?

I hate it when FOSS projects don't put a link to the repository on their website.

I don't want to search through fucking GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket to hopefully find the official project repo.
Or search every page on the site for a god damn link.

Just put somewhere on top.

how do i click here? 😂 link seems broken

btw is a manual.. printed in paper

Forced choice between two options which both seemingly have irreversible and potentially destructive consequences. Tapping back or outside the modal doesn't dismiss it. No 'Read more' type link for the first option.

@dfox How do you feel about an update to the profile page? I want to link to my personal website, perhaps some regex black magic to override the github link if it matches a URL?

Now I'm wondering if including my devRant link on my CV will help me land a job. Hmm.

Client: Can you add the link to our Pinterest to our website?

Me, internally: Did you just ask a webdeveloper if he could add a link? No wonder you're too dumb to add the link to your Pinterest via your CMS, where the inputfield is waiting for input.

Me, externally: Yes. Could you send me the link please?

Html imports. Polyfil. Hey. Reading, this is awesome. <link rel=“import” href=“control.html”> what could be simpler? Deprecated front end. But only need it for developing. Will combine the files at the end.

Estimate converting php to pure html, couple of days.

Go to use it with polyfill (webcompnents.js htmlimport). Doesn’t work.

Try the light components. Doesn’t work.

Try server-side polymer. Doesn’t work.

So much documentation about it working. Then finally come across shadow dom and how html imports are associated with them.

Hell no they aren’t. They are completely different things. Oh. Google packaged them together? No one could agree on shadow dom, and its now going away? Taking the pure html way of combining files into one page with it???

Spent an entire freaking day. But got 8 lines of code and <link rel=“fetch” ...> to do the same thing.

Why hasn’t this been an html standard for say...years. Why can’t the server do a handshake with the client and serve one page (php-ish) if the feature isn’t supported. Otherwise multiple files asyc. I mean. This is a fundamental part of pwa’s.

Why are these obviously smart people so stupid??? Deploy you shitty shadow dom without this obviously useful feature...

*Tuesday, after lunch break*

Me: "Just a final check: is everything clear with my email? I'm working late tonight, call me if you need something else. They'll probably share some slides, be sure to join from your laptop: [ link ]"

Smartass Dev: "No problem, I am fine"

*Wednesday, 11.15 am*

Smartass Dev: "Hey, what a shitty client! I waited more than an hour and they did not even tell me that the call was canceled. This is so unprofessional."

Me: "The call was not canceled"

Smartass Dev: "Dude, I had my phone here on the desk. I was ready to answer but they never called"

Me: "Did you open the link?"

Smartass Dev: "What link?????"

Me: "It was on Hangouts, I sent you the link twice"

Smartass Dev: "Really...? I'm so unlucky these days. Next time will be better 🙂"

Why does D-Link make absolutely useless drivers? I've bought a USB modem in order to use cellular with my laptop, and the controlling software absolutely sucks. Often it doesn't recognize the device even though it's plugged in, other times it randomly decides that there's no service despite my phone right next to it getting 4 bars. This fucking piece of shit cost 30€, and it's shipped with a proprietary piece of software that's so bad it was probably written by an intern for half the price of a single device.

ChatGPT, Copilot, React, how to make a link in a frontend website?
To create a link in a frontend website, create a span, a div, or a paragraph that contains the link text. In your JavaScript web app, add an event listener to that element that opens the link on click. If you want to claim you're accessible, add an aria-role to the clickable element. To make debugging harder and only possible for the real arcane experts, let your framework generate generic ids and class name hashes for styling and event handling, like "item_09fcfck" or "elementor_element_foo_bar". Avoid, at all price, to use an a href element!

1am and I'm waiting for my zipped project to finish uploading to OneDrive, so I can send my prof a link to it, because our fucking intranet just gloriously shat itself again -_-... Because a GitHub link is too mainstream I guess?

The fuck is this shit?
The upper link is the actual link to the exherbo-project, a new source-based linux-distro.
The lower link forwards to a broken site, largely copying text from the original, while adding certain paragraphs about easy encryption and data-wiping to hide incriminating material.

Did someone from Gentoo went mad, because someone's developing an actual alternative to their shitty distro and package manager or what is happening here?

Updated my TP-Link router's firmware today. Because.. new is better than old? Anyway, I tried to enter the settings page. Page not found. Chrome seems to find the page too unsecure to enable me to access it. Before the upgrade I've never had an issue opening that page with Chrome.
Opened it through IE and, a miracle, the page is right there for me to use.
Google had very little to say on the matter. Looks like I'll be using IE once in a while after all.
Any ideas on why that's happening?

What the actual fuck is wrong with companies that have websites with useless buttons. And i mean useless like a "Click here for our api documentation" which takes you to a contact form that you fill out and wait 3 days for someone to email you a link to a publicly accessable webpage on the same fucking website, a link that is just an extra tier on the contact forms link 😠 or they make their website a motherfucking labyrinth just to find the api documentation or a phone number to contact them.

That feeling when a recruiter sends you a message to do an assessment to join their company as an entry level developer, sends you the link to the assessment but the link doesn’t work.

Then you reach back out to them for 3 days in a row and they don’t read the message or respond.

My teacher's sent a survey to EVERYONE on my grade level with a hand typed link that also dosent work if you fix all the errors. Oh and they disabled comments so I can't even tell them what's wrong. My input is so important they made sure to have a non-existent link.

Bought an Archer T4E Wifi adapter card for my PC. This has got to be the worst piece of shit hardware ever sold.
I mean are you kidding me? This card has two TWO!! antennas sticking out of its back and won't maintain a connection to an access point that I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL connecting to with my fucking phone? And don't even try to connect to the 5G network with this embarrassment of a WIFI card.
Looking at the support forums and loads of people complain about the exact same thing without any reply from this shit company.
Seriously screw you TP-LINK I will never buy any hardware from you again.
