I'm in Germany.

While being the same race, they're obviously from a different world. I wonder if @Lensflare has more style than his fellow citizens.

Most Germans are Dutch without support for CSS. The country of times new Roman I guess.

They buy apple products to compensate for theur own style. That's how much money is needed to make a German hip.

The second Deepseek released as open-source, America started to try to pass a law that makes it's usage illegal and punishable upto a million dollars and 20 years in jail.

so yeah.... OpenAI more like "IAmTheOnlyAI"

Sleeping well cleans our mind and let us approach a problem in a different way and help us find the solution. For some days I was worried about how to solve a couple of bugs, but this morning after a good sleep I magically realized how easy the solution was:
WON'T FIX

So many meetings today I missed lunch

Very excited to announce I've started another project I will never finish

My lovely colleagues from planning bought me this for "my continuous help over this year".

I love those guys.

Worryingly, at 4:04pm.

A close button that dissappears (so not clickable) on mouse hover. Wtf.

I genuinely don't understand the M.O. here.

Getting rid of ads/spam here => Better Experience for us.

Flooding bots to gain updoots and spam posts => ????

Like, there's no money to be made. There's no influence of this platform anywhere. Getting a million ++'s don't result in anything in the real life.

I guess Alfred was right. "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

Guys what the hell.

I clicked “update and shut down” and it honestly did it. It didn’t restart and leave my laptop running. It actually really for real genuinely earnestly updated and SHUT DOWN. Microsoft finally figured it out? They finally did it?????

new kitchen = divorce within 5 mo

it's snowed 😊

Free at last! I quit my soul sucking job from these demon bosses. I’ll use use this opportunity now to become a freelancer. Any tips for the German market would be greatly appreciated!

I realized it will be smooth sailing from now on. My bipolar disorder is all but cured, my remission is very stable.

So in Chrome, "resume browsing" doesn't actually mean resume browsing, it means "take a shit in the top right corner of my screen and kick it about a bit".

Must be satisfying to create a feature and know that 10 million people open it by accident every day and swear at it.

5 more classes. i just gotta finish this semester and do my thesis and I'll be free. fuck this place

How tf is Canva valued at >40 billion. Boggles my mind. Never heard anyone even using it!!!!

Is it a state sponsored hacking and surveillance project company with a pink tutu on the front and Cthulhu tentacles in the back?

Got scammed on devrant by sketchy cryptocoin recovery services? Like a total dumb ass you clicked a sketchy link? Did you suffer temporary retardation and believed a scammer?

You may be entitled to public humiliation! Contact our services (totally not sketchy AF) and get doxxed, reposted, and made to look like a complete fool! (Javascript devs excluded, they suffer enough just existing.)

There’s this person at $work who never uses punctuation of any kind. She has mental issues and insists on neutral pronouns (and strongly advertises these) so I’ll use the indefinite to pretend to be respectful. It has multiple thoughts while typing a message and just keeps typing through all of them without stopping. It pauses not to collect its thoughts, to edit for clarity or to fix mistakes, to separate anything (including disjoint topics), to summarize, etc. (Though calling these “thoughts” is a huge stretch, given its lack of propensity for that particular subject.) It’s as if it has zero distinction between writing and speaking, and simply lets the mental diarrhea flow while their fingers do their best to keep pace. Reading these trainwrecks of thought — and gleaning any useful information from them — is always difficult and a little bit painful.

It is also in charge of IT security, which is more than a bit worrying. (But I hate the company with a passion, so it doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it otherwise would.)

I'm now feeling much better about leaving my job, since i found out they are absolutely fucked:

- They're realizing once again that my peer wasn't doing anything and that i was the one picking up the slack.

- The kid they thought they could abuse this time doesn't actually mind missing deadlines, so they have a shitton of backlog.

- The colleague that used to babysit everyone into doing their job is finally relevant again because he's having to do that again.

- The good climate we had is fully gone now, they're killing themselves and the management is on top of them constantly

so... either its justified and i should be reporting for harassment or i am overreacting to a water cooler talk, please help me decide next action:

we are in morning standup zoom call. boss (AVP) comes, jokes about who's birthday is coming next month, no one says a thing, then i joked Gandhiji's. his reaction : "ugh bro why do you always have to ruin the friday mood?" and I also laugh "well..." topic changes.

^--- this part is all good. he is AVP, He rarely joins the call and is a cool fun (but strict) guy. the problem happens in a side teams chat room

so we have an "emotional support android" group. we just named it that to prevent scrutiny, its really just a group where everyone is usually ranting and bitching. however it just includes us android devs.

so while i am making this joke in teams, one guy messages there about what a stupid statement that was + 2 abuses (hindi abuses, there translation would loose the impact)

i am all in for bitching and everything , but i felt bad for this. this group does include the word "android" and android folks, some of which are not even here. if this was a personal chat, i had ignored it, but i am trying to make a name as a dev and this undermines my statements in general.

furthermore this guy is 6 months old in team and i have been here for more than 1.5 years. he is 2 years older than me, but we are always cool and we often help each other in tasks

I am angry for the public humiliation and feel like reporting to my TL, HR or even the AVP. he is not even realising that he hurt me. actually the office environment has gone so toxic that the tl is herself threatening and scolding for every basic things and we are all but bitching to each other about it. he is mostly my guy, always taking my side and i take his, but i feel like my dignity is being impacted

or am i stupid to get hurt at this?

I fucking hate the way we have test in our company. They're worse than useless. They test internals but don't test the actual fucking behavior. I just broke the dev branch with a stupid mistake - because of course one of the core behaviors of our app is not tested. But I had to fix tests in three places just because I removed a useless util in favor of using a built-in JS feature.

Urrrrggghhhh I have an all hands meeting this afternoon and I just don't care...

Just a quick follow up. I told you guys after rebooting my server by accident, I'll color in the terminals for my ssh connections.

Normal terminal in white. With the code to do it. Just a shell script with the name ssh earlier in the path than the actual ssh. That was the only solution that didn't fuck my auto-completion. compdef was somehow useless. But it is simple.

For some reason I had to hardcode the return color to white. Alacritty was not happy with just a no-color code. But whatever. Super useful. I won't accidentally restart non-host computers now.

Planning on extending this to have different colors according to the host. Like my homelab could be green. Live servers would be red. Dev servers blue. But that's for the future.

Just wanted to share my little improvement that will make my computing saver.

This is going to be fun. We are switching our phone system to use Zoom and the turn on date is sometime in October (couple of weeks away). I have a feature I'm working on (automated phone calls) that the salesman said was fully functional (jump through a hoop, stand on your head, turn around three times, type of functional). Tried the steps they gave me, got to #3 and there is no virtual agent API call I can find to hand off/transfer the call. Send our contact at Zoom some questions, responds "That is a feature we might put in a future product. Can't do that right now." WTF?!
Other developers are running into similar "How do we get there from here?" issues that features promised, either don't exist or don't work.

One feature in particular I'm receiving a 403 permission denied error.
K: "Feature X needs to be enabled."
Me: "It is."
<send a screenshot showing the feature enabled>
K: "Your account doesn't have permissions. Have the sysadmin elevate you authentication level."
Me: "I'm an admin"
<send a screenshot showing my admin status>
K: "I'll have to get back with you."

Its been 3 days and no update on my ticket. *sigh*

Note to self: always confirm you have your security badge before leaving for the office super early in the morning

It took Samsung over a decade to implement something as simple as staying in the current directory instead of going to the initial directory after tapping the "copy" or "move" button in their smartphone file manager.

How long will it take them to implement a simple option to always launch on the rear camera regardless of which camera was last used? Two decades?

It should not even take one day.
