@whimsical I suck at a lot of things but I don’t know how to make money with that.
Maybe I should look at politicians and see how they do it.
Can’t hurt to look at js devs either.

Such vape.
Much wow.

@CaptainRant don’t listen to jestdotty.
Try to improve things rather than becoming the same kind of asshole that keeps the things in a shitty state.

Why are you using archaic languages that haven’t fixed NPEs? 😅

@whimsical I pity the psychiatrist who will get that data 😅

@D-4got10-01

diary.add(diarrhea)

@whimsical I almost laughed out loud after reading "moral high ground" 🤣

@whimsical clean your camera, ffs! 🤣
It looks like yo dropped it into a can of oil or something.

Why do those houses try to fly away?

And is the beach just that little pond?

@jestdotty yeah I‘m constantly wondering if you are just trolling or if you are actually that stupid. Sometimes it looks like the one, sometimes like the other. Well it turns out it’s both. Thanks for clarifying.

Part of why I write what I do is not directly to tell you something but to let others see how much of a gaslighting piece of shot you are.
Kind of like a public service.

And because you will probably delete your comment again to erase evidence, here is a short summary of what you wrote in the last comment:

jestdotty admitted that she is trolling me because it amuses her. Then also some bullshit accusations which are probably projections.

@whimsical anyone who knows me will tell you that I‘m one of the nicest people they know. I get along with almost anyone. And I‘m never being mean to someone who doesn’t deserve it.

@whimsical ah yes, exactly

@jestdotty written text is very bad for conveying emotion and tone. That’s why emoticons were invented.
It’s funny how you think that everyone should instantly see your shift in tone in a freaking chat text message. And someone failing at it must obviously be autistic.

Now, I don’t take offense at being called autistic. Maybe I am autistic after all.
Also I don’t really care if you see me as funny or or not and if you see me as having a good sense of humor or not.

You just desperately seek to find something to not to deal with what I say by telling to yourself that you were just joking. Haha, I just have no humor, that‘s why my objections to your bullshit are not valid!
It’s really not too far away from the classic "haha I was just joking" response from someone caught in saying something really stupid and not wanting to admit they were serious.

@whimsical what do you mean? I fixed it in JoyRant

I‘m not able to post rants again, so posting it here as a comment. *sigh*

I made a fix for JoyRant to display the user images.

As mentioned by jestdotty, the issue is that the cert has expired for the domain of the image URLs.

JoyRant has been using a 3rd party lib to load and display images by URL with a customizable caching mechanism.

To allow to ignore the ssl issues I had to implement my own version of that Image view component.

@whimsical the avatars come from https://avatars.devrant.com/ so your proxy probably wouldn’t work.

In German it’s Quoten-
Line in fulfilling a quota.

@afaIk ohh, look who’s trying to not look like a pathetic little shit! Adorable.

@jestdotty I was almost willing to take you seriously until you pulled your "SCIENCE" bullshit out of your ass again.

@jestdotty maybe you simply weren't as good as you think and that‘s why they didn’t take you seriously?
Knowing you from devrant, for me it sounds plausible.

@jestdotty oh, the old jestdotty is back. And I started to wonder if you changed for the better.
This time I won’t bite the ragebait though.
Go troll someone else.

@jestdotty thx for that info. Now I need to find a way to fix it in the app.

You live 1 hour away from a beach? I‘m so jealous 🥹

At least I managed to post a rant for the first time in months.

Checked on web desktop, also broken.

@jestdotty Your way of saying things always leaves me wondering wtf you actually wanted to say. I also don’t know if you agree or disagree with me. :D

But I will say that consistency alone isn‘t going to improve anything. So you're wrong.

Here is a simple example:
Naming every variable and function with a string of the letter "a", like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" is consistent but stupidly useless.

Aww… that‘s nice of you. You associate what you love with us.

Maybe you‘d be interested in hearing that I associate what I disgust with you.

@afaIk we already have that "programming language". It’s called JavaScript.
You write your code and then you hope that it doesn’t shit itself at runtime.

Honestly it’s about how you deal with complexity as the code grows.

If you neglect some principles of good programming, you‘ll soon be overrun by bugs which don’t make any sense.

Gen AI only makes it worse as you don’t have full control of the code and also don’t have the knowledge of the code. You are fixing problems by their symptoms rather than by their root causes.

@whimsical at the same time god forbids many things that the law allows.
To eat specific kinds of meat, to wear specific kinds of cloths, to have a specific sexual orientation, to work on specific days, and much more.
Of course that’s not god who forbids it. He doesn’t exist. It’s the people who invented god who like to forbid this.
