@netikras If it's not made by Apple, they make it as hard as possible to use on anything they did make.

@Lensflare Except that it's a huge pain compared to even the most basic Lunux distro to build anything.

Xcode and the hoops you need to go through with licensing and build errors determined by an RNG are great examples of their hostility toward developers that haven't bought into their koolaid.

Personally, Debian is the default OS for development, but even Windows is better than Mac for that.

Intentionally using a Mac for any kind of development is either the pinnacle of spite for Microsoft or an absolute financial necessity.

Apple's hostility toward anything not made by them makes it a tremendous headache that I never wish to experience again.

@BordedDev And when I get out of jail, I'll have a really lucrative job waiting for me at the local Burger King.

Considering the current goals of several corporations and governments, all that would accomplish is mass firings in favor of hiring "less entitled" alternatives with "work ethic" that aligns more with their vision of how things should be.

@retoor The issue is that it suggested, quite confidently, I cut a piece of wire under tension potentially causing me an awful injury.

I know I'm not going to do something so foolish, but someone else will do this and wind up with a nasty scar.

Will Google face consequences for it? No they won't.

@retoor I sure can ignore it. I've disabled it on every system I use and ignore it on Google searches. I have no need for it. Most especially not for my work.

The one time I paid attention to it on a Google search, it suggested I do something that would very likely end with me being sliced by a guitar string.

What's wrong with utility methods/classes?

It sounds like a caching issue.

@antigermanist When we invent warp drive, meet the Vulcans, find reliable sources of antimatter, and finally invent matter replicators you will get your wish.

Just make sure you stay close to the core worlds. The frontier is hard.

I have huge disdain for PHP and a functional, hate filled, and productive relationship with WordPress.

@cprn You have missed some of the most pure rage that the human psyche can generate.

I like this one

@cprn Someone has never tried calling Comcast before.

The full story is this is on a Debian VM with only 16gb assigned to it with no swap. The host is Windows 11 Pro with 128gb of RAM, so I'm thinking that's where my brain was when I disabled swap.

I have a couple other Debian machines that suffer from random crashes that are likely caused by a missing swap too.

For some reason, I didn't realize swap was so important.

@atheist What, you're too poor to have bigagytes of RAM?

@antigermanist In an artsy way, maybe. But if you can still enjoy it, then why not?

That said, most people watching videos at 2x are doing it on websites so they can skip the artificial padding so the uploader can run ads. Most modern movies are paced well enough that watching them faster is really only needed if you really want to watch it but don't have a time limit.

@antigermanist The tempo is a core part of any song, so any changes in speed would affect your experience with it. But if you want to hear it faster for whatever reason, then go ahead.

@antigermanist To fit more videos into your day. Or just to listen to it faster. Or to speed up intentionally slow delivery that enables them to hit 10 minutes. Except for music, I don't see a reason not to do it.

Why not do it? is my question.

I don't see the point in wasting time if you're able to do it faster. I'm also not interested in spending 10 minutes to hear the 2 actual minutes worth of information contained in the video.

I also skip integrated ads.

I prefer 2024-12-06.

@Demolishun I had a short lived co-worker get irritated because I used a ternary operator.

I don't get it. If it compiles and it works and I don't understand it, I look up why it works. I don't just throw my hands up and whine until the question goes away.

@Lensflare What that really means is the people reviewing the code and/or management aren't familiar with them.

If you're going to put your time into something, why not put everything you can into it? You're wasting your time otherwise.

Oh you have 12 months until you even have to think about it.

We have 90 days before we need to start.

Guy, 1993 was yesterday.

@jestdotty No insult meant toward you. But I have endless contempt to those that would put me on the street just because I don't conform to some half baked trend.

@jestdotty I'm not terribly interested in what the psychology behind it is called. I'm just pleased as punch that my way of life is less likely to be threatened by RNG machines and that I can tell everyone that's argued with me about it that I was right.

@jestdotty Because my job has been directly threatened by higher ups telling me that I'll be replaced by people that use AI. It doesn't matter that it causes me more work and is a huge liability.

I have grown tired of people threatening my way of life because of fads, trends, and arbitrary diktats they cling to like religion.

All while people like me pop their collars, noses a mile high in the air, gleefully shouting "I told you so".

I can happily say I can still use my brain and have improved my skills in the meantime.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

I don't have friends, so it's easy.

I've been told they're important, but they always turn into sources of stress and liability. Maybe it's the area I live in or something to do with my upbringing that attracts those kinds of people. I don't know. I'm old enough that it's not something that bugs be anymore.

I am friendly with coworkers, but they and I cease to exist when they leave the office, so calling them friends would be too much.
