Pixel Nazi - Add a little media query

Hacker uses windows media player to hack into police database....

//Happens only in Indian movies

PS : don't try it at home.

Well, I guess, it's not really a true social media like Facebook, but it's a thing..

When you build a social media empire just to promote yourself 😂😂😂

This is why I currently have 14 calculators open...

My school blocks all social media websites, so i made a small social media site with chat and going to run it localy on my laptop and they cant block it :D

Client: The media player is not loud enough... can you pump up the volume a little bit?
Me: Ok.

*Finds devRant*
*Downloads devRant*
*Proceeds to uninstall all other forms of social media*

Mom: You should do stuff with blockchain.

Me: Why, I don't believe in blockchain on the long run.

Mom: You should start believing in blockchain and you should start using it for all your stuff.

Me: Mom, i really appreciate that you are trying to help, but why are you saying this? My projects have zero to do with blockchain.

Mom: Blockchain is the future, because the media said so.

Me:...

devRant: the only social media not blocked at school :D

It's the time of the year again...
From the best media player in the world.

People's expression when I explain them devRant:
"..so, it's a social media for the nerdy antisocials"

Seriously. My bullshit meter gets fired up quite often while reading tech media headlines.

Top 5 social media platforms:

1. devRant
2. devRant
3. devRant
4. devRant
5. devRant

Got to work this morning only to find out devRant is now on the list of blocked social media sites here. Let the job search begin.

Browsing other social media after devRant and trying to find a technical relation... I'm like

When I access social media sites...

It's the Go Fucking Work chrome extension.

I used to take pride in not being addicted to facebook, twitter or other social media. Then devrant came along. Damn you devrant!!!

Media on anything "This is definitely going to take over the world!"

No shit man this fuckin Spotify wrapped is all I'm seeing on social media.

You what's been pissing me off this week. The press and social media coverage of this Google guy's gender memo.

Almost every outlet has him saying:

"Women are inferior coders because of their biology"

He ABSOLUTELY does not say this anywhere. He only states that basically less women are attracted to the industry. He doesn't comment at all on the quality of the Women who do go into tech.

It astonishes me the utter ignorance of the media and how they can just print these ignorant errors / lies.

I would wager that most if not all of them never even read his memo.

I am really fucked off by this social media keyboard warrior driven world we live in.

Apparently we value freedom of speech and freedom of expression above all else... UNLESS you say something that pisses off the social media justice warriors. In that case you will be publicly crucified and your life / career will be destroyed.

The annoying thing is in this particular case he didn't even say what they are saying he did.

Has anyone ever done this?

!dev, more about social media
(and suicide)

ugh. social media.

recently a girl from a nearby high school committed suicide. it's sad, and i know what i'm about to say is going to be controversial, but i think it shouldn't be on social media. maybe her close friends posting it on instagram, to remember her, but that's it.

of course, that's not what happened. people started posting "❤️" on their snapchat stories, and theyre saying they are raising awareness. (they don't know this girl or why she did it or anything, they're just doing it because their friends did it.)

this awareness, is well, temporary.

the point of snapchat is that all the pictures go away, so why would they talk about suicide prevention on there? do they want suicide prevention to go away? this is most prevelent on snapchat, but on others, too.

trend after trend after trend.

thats what people turned her death into. a trend.

just like #prayforparis, and others, but on a local scale.

the problem with social media is that things go away. in a day or two it'll be like this never happened. she won't be remembered like she would if she weren't on social media.

i know what you're thinking. they're just "raising awareness." but for how long?

well, until another trend comes.

people disagreeing with me are extremely welcome to comment.

and any ideas on how this problem can be fixed?

manager (not technical) : we need to add blocking feature to our social media.
me : adding block feature will take 2 weeks developing.
manager (not technical) : why it takes too much time to develop you can just delete the user from the database if a user blocked him.
me : hahahaha ... just ... delete ...
manager (not technical): ...
me : hahahhahahhaha.....

Saw my GitHub project shared on social media. WTF? Guess what the thumbnail is everytime it's shared. Why does GitHub use my fucking face? Fork You!

**changing avatar...**

God virgin media are useless:

Me: “hello how long is left in my contract”
VM: “you have three months left, may I ask why”
Me: “this is now the 3rd day in two weeks I have had no broadband I’m looking to swap to someone more reliable”
VM: “ I’m sorry to hear that I’ll check our system to see what I can do for you”
2 mins on hold
VM: “hello mr day we can offer you a special offer of doubling your internet speed for only £5 a month”
Me: “how does that help with the fact I have no internet”
VM: “well it won’t but we have an engineer looking at the problem and we estimate it will be fixed by 17:05”
Me: “thanks but no thanks, what’s the early exit fee”

😡🤬😡

Hey there!
Just joined DevRant, it's fucking amazing!!!
Where was this all my life! I HAVE BEEN FUCKING WASTING TIME ON THOSE SHITTY SOCIAL MEDIA APPLICATIONS.

My work recently blocked all social media connections on their network.

On the plus side, they missed devRant 😄

That moment a devRant ++ means more thank any social media equivalent 😁😁😁

Holy cow 😯

DevRant web app got updated.

😥 Must resist to spend time on social media. Must resist 😑

My startup boss took away our teams chat because we needed to "let everyone see our conversations for context". i said that's more like paranoia. then he told us we had to use company portraits and logos on LinkedIn and Social Media. and to post company ads and links on social media at least once a day. im not a social media manager, im a programmer MF'r. is this normal?????

People and social media are like ants and old food.

I fucking hate ants and I hate old food.

hacking on windows media player ...time to leave this planet

Is there a mp4 player on linux than can play in mini view like w10? VLC got a limit on how small the windows is allowed

Today, social media databases around the world will be forced to accept billions of shitty firework photos.

Any one knows the meaning of "s" or ""d". Because I don't know😐

Which is it teamtreehouse???

Backend or Frontend???

I'm considering shutting down all my social media profiles. I can't be bothered with any of them especially since most of the social media platforms has a lot of nut heads. I'd rather be on devrant than any other social media platform.

A social media alarm clock where people around the word will push the alarm button until you wake up.

People uploading each and every second of their lives in social media makes me sickk!!

App idea!

A normal social media app. But everytime a user taps on opposite gender's profile pic, it secretly records his face during that activity and then tweets that recording.
@his/her_username
@username_of_person_he_was_looking_at

For a developers ranting social media platforms, it sure seems strange that we can't format code snippets... 🤔

At least something like `foo(bar){}` would be awesome!

This is the only social media that doesnt depress me nowadays

Devrant is the only Social Media interaction I have been using lately, rather than others. Every time I feel the urge to open other social media apps, I redirect my actions to Devrant.

How.....
I wish I would be a developer in 2011..
..

I once posted a snarky rant about the inadequacies of our vendor's​ product on their own social media page... It appeared during a live demo about "Managing Reputation on Social Media" with several marketing dept. executives and ruffled some feathers.

Bright side: It had the desired effect and a half-baked product launch that was doomed to fail got delayed almost a month until the issue I griped about was fixed.

This rant is dedicated to all the fuckers that like their own post on Facebook. Congrats.

Now I know this buzzword shit is real

Devrant, finally the social media platform that understands me, and keeps out all the leakage from Tumblr and Justin Bieber.

I did it, I took the plunge and deleted all my social media. Never felt so liberated

Joins DevRant;
Deletes every other social media account;

The code for some of the backend of my 100% custom media server in front of the blurred frontend of my media server. It just looks cool

I unfriended every person at work on my Facebook except 2. I don’t know how I let my social media become so open to folks I work with. 😒

BE FUCKING PRODUCTIVE! A simple project to keep you from using social media and other timewasters while you should be working on something

Rant about social media in general, including devRant.

I enjoy interacting with like minded people. What I do not enjoy is the whole degradation of the conversation at hand. Sooner or later, someone takes something the wrong way, addresses something this social network was not meant to address (it's devRant not Facebook), and the audience has a multitude of English as a #(rd/th/whatever) language human beings.

Accept that as the premise, and I think we could get along a lot better.

However commonly this fact is ignored. Understand the sentiment behind statements, not the statement itself. If any part of it is unclear, then request clarification.

Agree, disagree, civil debates one thing, but degrading the conversation to name calling or similar emotions only results in poor communication, useless emotions running high, and nothing gained.

Disclaimer: Long tale of a tech support job. Also the wk29 story is at the bottom.

One time I was working tech support for a website and email hosting firm that was in town. I was hired and worked as the only tech support person there, so all calls came in through me. This also meant that if I was on a call, and another one came through, they would go straight to voice mail. But I couldn't hang up calls either, so, sometimes someone would take up tons of time and I'd have to help them. I was also the "SEO" and "Social Media Marketing" person, as well; managed peoples' social media campaigns. I have tons of stories from this place but a few in particular stick out to me. No particular order to these, I'm just reminiscing as I write this.

I once had to help a man who couldn't find the start button on his computer. When I eventually guided him to allowing me to remote into his computer via Team Viewer, I found he was using Windows XP. I'm not kidding.

I once had to sit on the phone with a man selling Plexus Easy Weight Loss (snake oil, pyramid scheme, but he was a client) and have him yell at me about not getting him more business, simply because we'd built his website. No, I'D not built his website, but his website was fine and it wasn't our job to get him more business. Oh yeah, this is the same guy who said that he didn't want the social media marketing package because he "had people to hide from." Christ.

We had another client who was a conspiracy theorist and wanted the social media marketing package for his blog, all about United States conspiracies. Real nut case. But the best client I've ever had because sometimes he'd come into the office and take up my time talking at me about how Fukushima was the next 911 and that soon it'll spill into the US water supply and everybody was going to die. Hell, better than being on the phone! Doing his social media was great because he wanted me to post clearly fake news stories to his twitter and facebook for him, and I got to look at and manage all the comments calling him out on his bullshit. It was kinda fun. After all, it wasn't _me_ that believed all this. It felt like I was trolling.

[wk29] I was the social media and support techie, not a salesperson. But sometimes I was put in charge _alone_ in front of clients for status meetings about their social media. This one time we had a client who was a custom fashion-type person. I don't really remember. But I was told directly to make them a _new_ facebook page and post to it every day with their hot new deals and stuff. MONTHS pass since I do that and they come in for a face-to-face meeting. Boss is out doing... boss things and that means I have to sit in with her, and for some fucking reason she brought her boyfriend AND HER DAD. Who were both clearly very very angry with me, the company, and probably life. They didn't ever say anything at first, they didn't greet me, they were both just there like British royal guards. It was weird as fuck. I start showing them the page, the progress on their likes goals, etc etc. Marketing shit. They say, "huh, we didn't see any of these posts at home." Turns out they already had a Facebook page, I was working on a completely seperate one, and then the boyfriend finally chimes in with the biggest fucking scowl, "what are you going to do about this?" He was sort of justified, considering this was a payed and semi-expensive service we offered, but holy shit the amount of fire in all three of them. Anyway, it came down to me figuring out how to merge facebook pages, but they eventually left as clients. Is this my fuck up? Is it my company's? Is it theirs? I don't know but that was probably the most awkward meeting ever. Don't know if it comes across through text but the anxiety was pretty real. Fuck.

tl;dr Tech support jobs are a really fun and exciting entry level position I recommend everybody apply for if they're starting out in the tech world! You'll meet tons of cool people and every day is like a new adventure.

This is why having strong and secure passwords are important. Your social media team must be ass BWW.

Hey Designer/Developers, I got a question for you. Yeah, you 👇🏽

When working on a project codebase that is expected to grow and evolve heavily. How do you usually split up your CSS (SASS, LESS etc) in a good way to take into account all the different device sizes?

I am not asking how it is done but more about the design of the code. This would be for a production codebase to be released.

Do you use large blocks broken down by media...

(Media width) {

~site code

}

(Other media) {

~same site code with diff sizes

}

Or do you do individual media queries inside css classes...

.className {

(Media size) {

}

(Other media) {

}

}

Or a mixture of both?

If it is a mixture of both then how do you decide which way to go about structuring the code.

I have been endeavouring to greatly improve my CSS and have done so. But this question has been bugging me. Both sides seem to be a bit sloppy and my programmer side is fighting the repeatitipve code.

Note: all code examples are gibberish and only intended for visualization.

Facebook now has a "take a break" action 😅 SMH

Guys.... I don't think I downloaded 6126 GB of data every day.... or did I actually do it and not notice? O.o wtf...

For everyone happy to see Facebook getting negative PR, just remember, unless people decide that they are willing to pay a monthly subscription for social media, nothing is going to change long term.

Do you think its a shameful if a dev works on +18 social media website?

Built a Media server using emby and then realized that one of my old TV shows with only 5 seasons was taking 129GB of storage space and I would need to transcode them, did my research and decided to use VP9 for the codec (YouTube, native browser support, etc.) found that it reduced my shows size to 51GB with great quality still. And then found out that emby doesn't allow direct play of VP9 on browsers and it's transcoding back to H264 Everytime I watch it. Submitted a issues, we'll see what happens now.

Anyone else seen it? or addicted to social media?

I'm wondering maybe because we're all tech... we sort of develop a natural immunity? or is it just me that has all social media apps' notifs turned off?

And rarely use social media... except devRant.

Just noticed that the media control keys on my keyboard are recognized by the Google Play Music webapp

And we thought no social media platform could match Facebook.

Frontender, social media manager and windows (server) admin!

Frontender; being paid to do something I couldn't care less about and find very frustrating (as for developing it)

Social media manager; being paid to use mass surveillance engines 😷

Windows (server) admin; I don't think I have to explain this one...

media queries in css are awesome.

It seems like I got addicted with devRant..... This app is better than any other social media.

I posted 'programming partner wanted' on some social media app.

PS hi Alice

Got to know about OSMC/Kodi last week. Took out my Raspberry Pi. Setup OSMC over the weekend, did all the cable setup for 4 external hard drives and connected to TV via HDMI. After few configurations, I'm all setup. I'm astonished by all the features it provides. Fetching data from TMDb (I had actually created a javaFX app to do this for my local library just last month), remote control from Android as well Web Browser. Enabled UPnP and now I have my complete media center floating around my house network. It is one of the best open source project I have laid my eyes upon. Wish I could attach more pics.

Oh boy and here I was looking forward to see ads the whole way home.. well then.. devrant it is.

Is there a way to disable the social media buttons and if not could that be built in?

I keep pressing the buttons by accident when I move my finger to the back button. And I cannot even use them because I dont have an account at those platforms.

Nothing good will ever come by looking at your old projects. It is the dev equivalent of reading your old social media posts.

So like... did every social media app meet up and go
"yo!
Ordering notifications and timelines chronologically in a way that makes sense?
Yeah mate, fuck it!"?

$ rsync /media/elements /media/data

... Why the fuck are existing files being synchronized as well.. they're the exact goddamn files rsync!!!

^Z
$ stat /media/elements/some.file
$ stat /media/data/some.file

Hmm 🤔 so they've got the same access and modify times, same size and everything, just that the change time is different.. well, guess I'll have to bite the pill then, syncing everything it is 🙁

Next day: rsync aborted because disk quota is exceeded

What the...
*Checks storage consumption on /media/data*
COMPLETELY FILLED TO THE BRIM

Oh God 😰 I didn't completely copy over a duplicate of that elements directory, did I?

$ ls -sh /media/data/elements
*exists*
$ du -sh /media/data/elements
1.4TB

But why..? All because I forgot a single / in my rsync command.

Please kill -9 me 🙂🔫

That moment when social media and seo people gets paid more than developers in your country.

Are you f**king kidding me!

Marketing Director uses the website's blog as his personal social media platform and posts weird one-liners which should have been social media posts.

Refuses to acknowledge content quality is a problem and insists I make the SEO better by doing some stuff with the code.

I can do what I can, technically speaking, but your poor quality content will still drag the entire thing down, asshole.

A blog is not a social media platform, dude.

A burden has been lifted off of me. The burden of social media. I hate it with every ounce of my soul(except twitter and devRant). The amount of time wasted it is unreal. Deleted my instagram last night and my snapchat this morning. It feels so good!!!!! Sure my classmates think I'm crazy but it is worth it. No negativity more time to focus, work and game. I think it is a huge win.

TIL the best way to “win” an argument on Twitter is to simply abandon the thread when people think you should answer for your “crime” of having a difference of opinion and they start bringing social justice nonsense into it as a replacement for logic. They’re going on and on about how you are obligated to reply to them to answer for your alleged “privilege” and your silence just makes them sputter with rage.

I looked the website today. Just once.

Ive seen ads for this site everywhere since. Social media, blogs, quora.

I can't get used to this

Fuck these super social media instagram influencer developers telling everyone watching their story that "everyone can be a programmer.". You can't. It's not only about syntax and a run button.

Social media might be bad for your mental health but VSCode is way worse

I hate all of this AI fearmongering that's been going on lately in the main stream media. Like seriously, anyone who has done any real work with modern AI/ML would know its about as big of a threat to humanity as a rouge web developer armed with a stick.

Do people still “surf the web”?
I know I do but most people go straight to social media..

I need help, my site said it's full so I have deleted everything in the media library but now all the images have gone!

Yes, thats its purpose!

Thank fuck it's Friday!

Winamp ⚡️ media player the coolest thing on the late 90's

Our management pushes very hard to move most company communications to Facebook Workplace and I'm proud to say that after almost 2 years and with less than a month left here I still haven't made an account. I didn't fucking detox myself from social media to deal with this bullshit at work so that these greedy morons can pretend we're a 'communituh'.

So I noticed people are increasingly putting their preferred pronouns on their social media, email signatures, résumés, etc. I also noticed a certain amount of praise gets ladled onto the ones who are other than their cisgender while heaps of scorn come at those whose pronouns match their apparent gender. Especially if they dare defend an idea that non-cis people are against.

Is this the world we live in now? Or is my little corner of the online world just a non-representative fluke, and non-cis people are actually more tolerant than I’m seeing?

People who don't ++ OPs, nor comments or add anything of value on social media / thread.

Please.
What is your purpose but self projection?

Smartphones ruined social media. msn, yahoo, ICQ, even Facebook for some years - i loved them before. When you felt lonely you just looked who was online from your list and said hello and chat a bit because most likely the person sat in front of his or her PC and had time. At least it was indicated by the online status. I miss this feeling sometimes very much.
Now that everyone is online all the time this is gone. Among grown ups you only write someone if you have something important to say like setting up a date or what, and among the younger you send only memes. And even if you start a conversation you don't (and can't) expect a real time answer but see it as so called async comversation.

Twitter like social media platform but people will be posting audio clips of 10sec maximum.

Soo.. we always knew facebook is evil and manipulates aunties into some weird conspiracy theories

But finally got some reason to convince my friends and family to migrate from Whatzap (aka facebook2) to Signal or Telegram :)

Forcing users to share their information went to a complete different direction of the world is going to. Kinda of glad that this finally burst out of the tech bubble

Anyway

My question is if there are any alternatives to Instagram?

Fingers crossed tiktok is not the only other option 😅

What do elves post on Social Media? Elf-ies.

This is probably the only social media platform with relevance to me... I've crossed over into the great beyond and can't turn back!

It's weird to see people browsing through social media so seriously. Like debugging.

Me: ill use media queries to make our site responsive (site is not responsive before i got here)
Me: code ...

Me: done, created a PR
Senior: review... removes all the code and media queries and said. We dont have to use media queries because bootstrap is already responsive.

Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) starter pack

I have not watched tv or streamed entertainment media in 12 years. What did I miss?

Finished 100gb with 10Mbps in 9 days..
.
Fuck
Now 1Mbps for rest 21 days.😰😧😖

The more you design the less you code.

The magic number it took me forever to remember is 768px for media includes. What's your magic number?

I really don't understand why Microsoft has created "Media Creation Tool" rather then linking the ISO files directly on their website.

That surrealist moment when Firefox told me it stopped the international journal of robotics research from tracking my social media...

Dafuq?

MTP is complete garbage. I want mass storage back.

The media transfer protocol (MTP) occasionally discovers new creative ways of failure. Frequently, directory listings take minutes to load or fail to load at all, and it freezes up infinitely (until disconnected) when renaming an item, and I can not even do two things simultaneously.

While files are being moved, I can not browse pictures or watch videos from the smartphone.

Sometimes, files are listed with the date 1970-01-01 (Unix epoch) instead of their correct date. Sometimes, files do not appear at all, which makes it unsafe to move directories from the device.

MTP lacks random access. If I want to play a two-gigabyte 4K 2160p video and seek in the video, guess what: I need to copy it to my computer's local mass storage first because MTP lacks random access.

When transferring high numbers of files, MTP has to slooooowly enumerate (or "prepare" or "calculate the time of") them all, which might even take longer than mass storage would need for the entire process. This means MTP might start copying or moving the actual files when mass storage is already finished.

Today, the "preparing to move" process was especially slow: five minutes for around 150 files! How am I supposed to find out what caused this random malfunction?

MTP sometimes drives me insane. I want mass storage back, at least for the MicroSD memory card, which uses a widely supported file system.

Imagine a 2010 $100 Android phone is better at file transfer than a 2022 $1000 Android phone (or iPhone, for that matter).

Some people think that web development is easy because they use framework for responsive designs, they dont know the struggle of manually using media query in css.

Does social media make you suffer? No? You sincerely enjoy Instagram and TikTok?

Then never listen to all that "social media detox" crackpots. There is no need to feel guilty about what you enjoy.

Some people find social media detox relieving. But some people don't. Detox supposed to make you feel better. If it doesn't but you keep blaming yourself and keep going just because some ray-ban-wearing hipster told you so, stop.

Watch your TikToks. Leave yourself alone.

It's weird how imposter syndrome kicks in when I get notifications on something I shared on social media!

Gmail: We will be supporting css media queries from now on.

Users: Bitch please, we still use Outlook as our default email app.

Lost all my Data, due to electricity loss. Lost about 1.8TB of data, didn't have backup as I didn't have any other media to backup to. :/

Does DevRant count as social media? I don't think I'm allowed to post to social media while I'm at work. *Asks DevRant anyways*

I love mathematics so I love programming.😃

Social media that's doesn't misuse your private info like facebook. :p

Being a social media influencer i.e. having a couple thousand followers doesn’t make you entrepreneur. Period.

Dear fellow front end developer, why?, just why would you use "!important" on every property value inside your @media query?

I was sitting in a client meeting recently and we were discussing the client's social media requirements. We said we'll setup Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+ profiles when the replied "What about Whatsapp?"

We said "That's a messaging app".

Client "Well, we want to receive messages, so set us up with a Whatsapp profile too"

Dropping an external hdd with my yr 12 media assessment on it.

So I got my sister a new PC and being the thrifty (and masochistic) fuck I am, I thought I'd build it myself. I built the PC yesterday (side note: Stick to backplate coolers, Push-Pin is the bane of my existence, patience and fingers) and wanted to install Windows today.
I shit you not, I ran this godforsaken spawn of Satan of 'Windows Media Creator Tool' no less than 5 times with different USB sticks, different Ports, turned off AV and FW and as Administrator but stuff ain't working. After ~30min of downloading Windows each time, it always told me in usual Windows manner "Something went wrong", because who needs decent error messages anyway...

I have been wondering if there is a way to use social media in a positive way.

Since high school (when Facebook first started) I knew that this social media was a cancer.

From what I know there is no positive use for cancer, and I’m pretty sure that the same is true for social media.

But to be honest, it is a tool that is very effective in manipulating the masses. In fact, it is likely the greatest tool for leading sheep to slaughter since religion. I’m always looking to take advantage of every tool at my disposal.

Tools shouldn’t be seen as good of bad, so I am going to have to accept it is a tool of great power and use it. Hopefully I can use it in a positive way, but that doesn’t look likely...

MPC-HC is a better media player for Windows than VLC. Change my mind.

devRant is when I scroll and don’t feel guilty about it.

Saw an add for a dev job in which to be considered you had to build a social media network. Seriously.

The moment I forgot media queries

The most horrifying thing for any Android Dev:
The client wants to build a media app and owns a Samsung device!!!

When you take down important notes on an unreliable digital media and lose them...

Hate working Mondays because I can't be any where near people or social media due to spoilers of got.....

Popular opinion: AI is nothing more than complicated algorithms that no one appreciated before and probably never will. 99.9% of all coding would be AI if mainstream media had their way.

WTF, I've just written 3 lines of code, I'm gonna check devrant and social media.

Great... I was hired to make a store system for this newborn startup... which isn't very tough, given I know PHP. Now they want me to build a social media for designers, just like Instagram, to encourage them to share their designs in an attempt to increase sales. And I'm the only Dev in the startup of ten.

Well, initially, I was not very pleased, but as I researched on how would I even do that, I realised it would really help my skill set, not to mention the points I'll be able to add to be resumé.

So far I've looked up how I'll have to use JSON/XML, coupled with PHP. I chose to learn Angular.JS for frontend dynamicity.

Any advice/help for this novice? Or any better frameworks I could use? (Don't say ruby-our web hosting site does not support it.)

I work for an big company that owns a social media website. One day I worked on the CSS of that side an changed...

My machine is running on a 6gb ram with an Intel core i5 processor. How the fuck are my .mkv files still stuttering on VLC?!? 😣😣😣

Fucking social media.

Friends, gather round for a story of "the user".

Two days ago I assisted a friend in reviving their scammed Instagram account with final confirmation it was back in their possession yesterday. I stated "make sure you clean out phone numbers, emails and change the password. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD"....I bet you know where this is going....

Queue 6:45am: "HELP! THEY DID IT AGAIN! THEY TOOK MY FACEBOOK THIS TIME TOO!" as a safety measure, I told her to link them for recoverability.....not thinking you just created a bridge to the facebook...

Now We're going through EVERY account BY HAND and changing EVERY password for EVERY service and enabling MFA. We've also learned the power that the forgot password button wields for everyone.

ProTip: If your friend was "hacked" be patient, friendly and soft to get every detail...sometimes you learn more and can position them better.

Now I'm upset with myself because I couldn't save their accounts and at this point we've lost the only footing we had to them. Social Media is a curse.

So Instagram recently launched 'Threads' as it's standalone messaging app... Although it seems like a bad replica of Snapchat I still liked the minimal messaging interface. Have switched my personal account from main app to threads to improve productivity. Let's see how it turns out to be in the next few days.

Social media site/app... I think social media is such a saturated market yet everyone seems to think their spin is somehow unique and worthwhile...

Although, not sure if DevRant counts as 'social media' but tbh I see real value in getting developers to form a community, where to profit potential comes from potentially linking developers to recruiters/employers (targeted ads to devs for shit we would want). And devs get a nice platform to socialize and bullshit about things we all experience (ie, the 'community' is real and valuable to us)

you know if media wasn't driving everything how would we all act ?

Facebook _royally_ fucked us. I work in publishing and when Fuckbook pulled and refocused their resources elsewhere, we're left high and dry. And to think, these companies (including Google) would wine and dine you, give you tours and food at their regional and local HQs to make you feel "important", and how important the "partnership" will be for both. In my country, social media penetration is above 80% and Fuckbook is king. Thanks to these assholes, we lost half of our traffic and dipping due to readers avoiding news altogether. Google, doing it's usual thing, pushing AMP then abandoning it. Fuck these assholes.

The biggest problem of a social media platform when it gets popular enough is how to handle low quality media that people post.

Facebook clearly sucks at this.
13 ways of doing *
7 things *

Even when you have not subscribed to those kind of pages.

Instagram is doing a bit better but I can see low quality posts popping up as the vultures are now targetting Instagram more after Facebook's fall.

What's worse than being your family's printer support? Questions about how to use Instagram. 🤢😠😡 Fuck Marc Suckerberg and his shitty antisocial media apps!

"Would you really call Facebook a social media platform?" - Head of IT at a prominent organization

I can’t reply to anything on social media with out feeling like a complete fucking cunt.
I guess it’s time for bed.

Got a NodeJS social media server I'm building for a side project, inches away, but my wedding looming - goodbye free time! Haha

Linux
VLC media player
Inkscape
LibreOffice

100's of low-level NPM packages I don't know the name of

The world itself is just a big hoax. Spamming with our running commentary of bullcrap masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.

Mute your social media. That way, you'll never hear all those Private Messages...

Pleasantly surprised to see that my country's media group (CBC for Canada) has a few repositories up on GitHub.

😂😂damn true

An Android app to query user details using the GitHub api and display them in charts which can be shared on social media.

It took me an hour to process when a client wanted icons for sitemap. By icons for sitemap she ment social media icons... kill me please

The moment when you realize that you have to at least double your media queries to guarantee a good result for that little element at the end of your page that no one really needs... :^(

On a night out and posting on social media...

My friend: Hannah from HR is gonna love this one

😭

hey I am new here. Hope so this platform is different from fucking social media apps where user just post shit about anything

Can't decide which social media I need to delete , my phone is freeking slow

Be a worst end user before a developer.
So that you try all possible things that can go wrong.
