Feeling cool back then: Having your own PC and making your own application that has nothing else than a splashscreen that identifies the pc as yours with some cool picture, putting it in the autostart folder.

Today: "Who even reboots their PC?"

Okay people. Everytime someone here asks for a Raspberry Pi- or IoT project, I answer "IoT Toaster".

I finally brought my stupid and weird idea about an IoT Toaster to (pdf-) paper.

Have a laugh.

Are you fucking kidding me? I just wrote a long post about my upcoming surgery and then devRant suddenly exited (without any error, nothing) and my post was lost. And now I can't even open the webversion on my laptop to at least write it faster again.

Fuck. I'm not going to write this whole shit again.
Also suddenly rant instead of random.

TL;DR of my not available post: My first correction got approved, will make appointment soon, hopefully this year, hopefully doesn't get fucked up again and hopefully don't have to wait as long for the second correction. Just want to live normally again and be able to move and sit on an acceptable level again.

My mother just took an important picture for someone else of someone abusing their service. Everything on the picture is too small and you can't see shit. She just said "if they can't see it, they will have to make it bigger by themselves." - "That... Doesn't exist in reality... That's not how pictures work."

TV shows that do this should die already.

You know your client has no clue what they are doing, when they request this exact color combination.

I once had to do this for someones business website. I wasn't allowed to use anything else. They also told me exactly what the content area has to look like. It was as simple and eye cancerish as it could get.

Some day I had enough, trashed everything and made a completely new site with a proper design and color combinations to show it to them. Thankfully they approved instantly.

It's not always good to blindly follow the wishes of your clients.

Installing an old AI version for compatibility reasons wasn't a good idea it seems.

Here you can witness the difference between super old software and current software.

In case you didn't notice: The left one is the wrong one.

I wanted a cute pixel art girl character for a project, made by someone who was totally into pixel art and said they could do it. I got a bad stick figure like two color graphic.

Thankfully I don't need other people for my graphics anymore.

10k to go.

Found in one of my projects for someone else from 2012.

God fucking hell.

My mother ONCE AGAIN wants that I send some pictures she took of something to her friends via email.

I asked why she doesn't finally learn it herself and she seriously answered: "Do you really think I would learn that for the few occasions I need it?"

I answered: "Obviously, you need it much more often than you think."

Silence.

Fast forward a couple of hours - You can see she is angry and talks in a passive aggressive sounding voice. I asked her what's wrong. Big mistake.

She said that it is sad that I don't just help her when she asks me to do something without complaining about it. Then she continued to say things like "And that while I do EVERYTHING for you!" and such bullshit.

Great, mother. You once again completely failed at being a mother by bringing in your regular not even nearly respectful behavior as an argument for a onesided discussion.

You know, if you were actually nice, you wouldn't do this shit everytime something doesn't go as you wanted it to turn out. Someone who is actually nice would not act like you and use it for a sad try of blackmailing their children into doing things for them because they are too stupid and lazy to finally learn to do it themselves. Also you would fucking notice that I am doing things for you all the FUCKING TIME. But sadly you are just a fucked up excuse for something that everyone should have, a loving mother that behaves respectfully.

I'm glad when I'm finally gone and you are all alone, without any friends, without anyone to command around, without anyone to spread your disease of bad mood and emotional poison. No one who will help you all the time with such easy and simple things as tapping 4 buttons on a phone you wanted so badly but don't care learning how to use. And the greatest part is, you will just be completely unable to do anything in the digital world because you are too stupid and lazy to learn anything.

You will probably kill yourself when I'm finally gone, as you once threatened me before I ran away from home for the second time, because your last child left you and cut any communication to you.

In a way I am happy that you are unable to do anything on your own that includes digital media. This way I am looking forward to your sad, boring and fucked up rest of your life. Well, if you don't fake another "almost"-stroke. But even then I will leave.

Have fun alone.

Devocado 4 devRant mascot!

You know. Because it's a hass avocado. If you use it as the german word hass, it translates to hate. Kinda fitting. Not to forget that its "table"-ball thingy is the seed of another avocado.

You never lived unless you made a png with wonderful bright colors that look completely different on different devices AND within every application on the same devices. Fuck this damn popsicle.

I started to work on a little game today. Well, at least I already created the folder and made 4 vector paths for the first graphic.

I'm such a pro guys.

Success soon.

If you ever think the hacker presentation in a new movie or show is far from reality, remember that in Bones, Pelant "injected" a computer virus by graving it in on a bone that got scanned.

TXT is a programming language.

Change my mind.

The only good thing about social anxiety is, you have a great answer for the "What is your weakness?" question in job interviews without having to emberass you. Well, if you actually manage to answer the question.

*postes multiple rants a day* - "You are way too active!" - "N... No not r... really..."

*postes one - two rants every two - three days* - "You are way too active!"

Finally put some of my new stickers on my laptop.

AI project file imported into Affinity Designer, exported to SVG, imported into Inkscape, exported as PNG, opened in GIMP, saved as JPEG with low quality, opened in Affinity Photo, exported as GIF, opened in PhotoShop, exported as JPEG with low quality, opened in Paint, saved as BMP, opened in Affinity Designer, exported as 2 page PDF, reopened, exported as PNG, uploaded to devRant, converted to low quality compressed JPEG by devRant.

Sometimes I go really crazy tapping links in the devRant app on a bigger screen. *tap tap tap tapptaptaptaptap* - still didn't hit the area that is recognized as a tap on the link.

Cool. Windows 10's standard email client has problems with emojis. Have fun with my ? blocks, nice person >:

Lately there are many things that annoy me about microsoft, since I realiced that they still fucked up CSS transitions in SVGs.

Everytime I read a rant about people abusing the term AI

We should really think about writing "New Password" or something like that in our registration forms.

The amount of times people asked me "Should I insert the password of my email account or a new one? That is so confusing!" is not funny anymore.

Anyone here knows a good and trusty user agent switcher extension for Chrome that lets you change your user agent based on a setting for the site you visit, instead of globally?

I'm sick of constantly using inspect to view a specific site in its mobile version because certain functionality is missing in the desktop web version.

* "So when you had your next surgery, you need to do your school exams as soon as possible!"
- "But I don't even know if I'll be able to walk and sit again after my first correction, since the issue is with something that will most likely be addressed in the second one."
* "Yes but you need to do your exams as soon as possible!"
- "That's not how it works. If I can't do them, I can't do them. Don't force me..."
* "I DON'T TRY TO FORCE YOU"
- "You do. Do you actually hear what you say?"
* "I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!"

- I walked away because that would've ended in the usual "NO YOU WERE SCREAMING AT ME!".

And because she can't finally get a fucking hearing aid after all these years of me repeating everything I said at least twice, she probably really believes that she doesn't scream at me at every occasion when she's obviously angry or offended.

I want this whole surgery hell to be over so I can finally get out of this stressful environment.

That's easy. My dev life is my social life.

Sometimes I feel like the best job position for me would be that lonely IT girl that sits in her own little room in a big company and only looks like she's working and who's whole purpose is to make employees fear her by simply repeating what they want from her in a passive aggressive voice.

Wanted to change my name at PayPal.
Sent required documents.

Just got a message back directed at a completely other person which states that the documents I sent are still missing.

Regina, I don't know who you are or where you are, but you still need to sent PayPal your marriage license.
