				    After 3.5 terms, I still see people running Linux in a vm && writing C code in nano.
 Should I be concerned if that really freaks me out?
 Usually I'd say use whatever floats your boat but I just don't get why they don't dual boot, they'll need Linux in pretty much every term...16

				    I finally reached a point in configuring my desktop where there is only one thing left to fix, the window control buttons.
 Even though I don't think they look ugly, they make everything look a bit macOS-esque.
 Can anyone recommend some or has an idea for a design?

				    This might be the worst add I ever received. I don't own Call of Duty WW2, I don't want to own it, I'm not French and my French is barely good enough to survive.
 For fucks sake the app is im German.

 The way he said it sounded like he actually believed it.
 I have nothing to add to this.1

 I had to get up at about 5am this morning to go to uni. From there I went to my GGJ site. I gave not one, but two mattresses to a friend so I'd have one if someone has the great idea to borrow my mattress. It's fucking 3:22am now and both are taken. Next year I'll bring a mattress for everyone I know...

 Edit: vat in Germany is 19% but that doesn't add up to 2,56$
 According to the bill, vat was 0.33€ ($0.4) 8 8

				    Nah I'll quickly fix my arch installation, can't take that long...

 Plottwist: I didn't fuck up the whole system and it's booting again.
 I didn't expect that myself

				    TL;DR: fuck shitty algorithms!
 The Youtube app seems to have a highlights option for your subscriptions. Found out because it activated itself.
 Firstly: NEVER FUCKING EVER CHANGE MY FUCKING OPTIONS BECAUSE YOU ADDED A NEW FEATURE. YOU MAY NOTIFY ME AND IF I WANT IT ACTIVATED I AM PROBABLY ABLE TO TOUCH ME SCREEN TWICE AND ACTIVATE IT!
 Secondly: Why can't people understand that I don't want any fucking neural networks (except sometimes devrant because the algo is the algo) to tell me what I want to look at, especially if it's on fucking YouTube where I only have to go through a few videos a day? But hey maybe I want to watch that video I didn't want to watch 5 days ago!?
 Thirdly: I subscribed to more than two channels and there might be a fucking reason why I subscribed to these channels. Don't show me 5/6 videos not only from the same creator but it's just the last 5 videos from the same series.3

				    So the devDucks arrived today and the dog is more excited than I am. He's been staring at the box the whole time. 12 12

				    Finally decide whether to specialize in game development or security. Alternating every month is getting boring...1

				    Just helped a colleague. She wanted a list of all files in all subdirectories of a folder. Easy enough, fired up powershell, ls'd everything into a text file in ~\Desktop, jobs done.
 About 5 minutes later, she messaged me, telling me she closed the file without saving. So I went over. The file wasn't on her desktop. Quickly recreated the file - again into ~\Desktop but powershell found the file there.
 "nah, doesn't matter I'll just overwrite it and be done with it." I thought.
 So I did that, and the bloody file still didn't show up.
 I had a look at where ~\Desktop is. It's on partition H:. WHO THE FUCK HAD THE BRILLIANT IDEA TO SET H: AS THE HOME DIRECTORY?!2

				    I don't get why people set their alarms every 5 minutes, instead of every minute with 5 minute snooze... It's waking up or lying around and getting angry at your phone that way 14 14

				    After trying to print colored text to the console using a portable Python 3 interpreter on Windows I came up with a "solution". I tried pretty much everything possible (I could think of): curses couldn't be loaded, ansi didn't work and installing libraries wasn't really an option, because it's not my device. Fuck portable interpreters and have fun with the "solution".
 
 Def color_print(text, color):
 text = text.replace("\n", "\\\" \\\"")
 os.system ("powershell \"$host.ui.RawUi.ForegroundColor = \\\"" + color + "\\\"; echo \\\"" + test + "\\\"; $host.ui.RawUi.ForegroundColor = \\\"Gray\\\"")
 
 It's slow, unreadable, only works for on Windows and requires powershell and is probably the worst piece of code I ever wrote, but it works 👍.2

				    We've got a non minified jQuery in production for months now. Not only do people throw it at every little problem, but some of them don't even use the minified version... 😑
