I work with a team of morons where they just keep overriding my code and business sending us mails saying this requirement hasn't been implemented so please done.

Those morons are just getting on my nerves

I never owned an Apple product. I prefer other stuff.

But kudos to Apple for bringing sexy back with the Liquid Glass.

God fucking damnit I miss the Windows 7 days. We didn't appreciate it enough.

Cloudflare outage.

The uptime monitoring we use also uses Cloudflare so we never received any message that there is an outage. Cloudflare is now a single point of failure for the internet.

"Attending" WWDC 2025 ("attending" is a stretch). I'm starting this thread as a multi-rant (comments count).

To start it off, WWDC 2025 is, like all these other virtual 2020's WW's, BORING... World Wide Dull Cinema.. It's like being in developer-solitary-confinement. After going to the in-person ones, I can safely say that it is hard to care about anything in WWDC beyond the keynote...

And when Tim gets on there /still/ trying to extoll the virtues of it being virtual, it is pretty clear that they are trying to compensate...

1. no collaboration
2. uninspiring without your peers
3. random because there is no real schedule
4. boring because you don't meet anyone new
5. career limiting, can't trade vCards & resumes
6. cringy trying too hard announcements

(just sayin', love you guys but come on here...)

WWDC 2019 and prior were awe-inspiring. WWDC pre 2020 collected enough IQ in one place to make the world wobble on its axis.

WWDC needs to go back to in-person /with/ streaming for those of us who can't make it. Change the venue to Las Vegas for crying out loud, they can handle the *worlds* *largest* *trade* *show* (aka CES) there... WWDC is small potatoes by comparison.

liver failure is the single shittiest feeling you're gonna experience. I know what it feels like to be cut open, also amnesia, also paranoia, also depression, but let me tell you: liver failure is the fucking worst.

imagine sprinting one mile while thirsty in 110F heat while having severe food poisoning and flu. that's how it feels, pretty much

ever seen the artificial snow in those classic black and white movies? that was pure asbestos.

yeah.

Is it just me or other people too sit to code and then look at the time and suddenly 4 hours have passed? I feel so disoriented at that point of time 😭

How to make my copy of Linux genuine?

I couldn't find my Linux product key. Do you know a way to crack the Linux product key?

Youtube is disgusting.

They deliberately implement some crap that tries to circumvent ad blockers, fail at that, that causes videos to have a delay before loading.
Then they implement a fucking popup during this delay, telling you to klick there for more information why there is a delay.
And when you klick on that, they essentially tell you that your ad blocker is probably why there is a delay.

No, assholes, the ads is why there is a delay.

Dishonest, manipulative pieces of shit.

AI please convert simple symbolism image to SVG omg how hard could it be

Opened devRant after exactly 4 years. Brings back so many memories!!
Hello again, devRant community! What's life like rn?

Practical question: did anyone figure out how to pay less taxes in the UK (or somewhere else in Europe)?
I can’t lie it becomes pretty unsustainable…

If your manager is an asshole in unrecorded 1-on-1's, buy a dictaphone.

AI tokens are just microtransactions for programmers

```
root@srv1:~# ipmitool user set password 2 train-hopper-apple-watermelon
Password is too long (> 20 bytes)
root@srv1:~#
```

hmmm....

390.8 MB worth of app just to change the brightness value of a single non-rgb led in my mouse.

Woke is really a virus. One woke message in the context window of your LLM and the conversation is over. Nothing to discuss anymore. You're getting charged $0.06 per 1,000 tokens for woke lectures, $0.12 per 1,000 tokens for being judged.

Do not use AI services from chutes. I was talking with uncensored dolphin 30b, and not the LLM gave me a lecture, but the PROVIDER. Same for wizard from Microsoft. Microsoft does not filter that LLM but your freaking connection. How a bout that.

In the end i found a very nice solution for my Replika clone,. But shame on them. I really don't understand why they care so much about it. Imagine the AI costs to check every message if they're apropiate.

This tech could've been so much better in better hands. A realistic conversation like you have with dolphin is impossible with openai or the others.

Anyone tried the dobby LLM? What the fuck is that :P

What are the opinions on Rust's labelled blocks and break 'label control flow primitive?

Job search is absolutely soul crushing. I can't even.

Want to know a sad story? I had a great idea for an internal application that would optimize a process in the company. My idea gets approved and.. guess what? Later it gets cancelled because Change Management didn't see a reason for me to get API rights on the company pipeline, which was what I needed to get my application going. I pitch my idea and they don't care and shut me down quickly because it's just another ticket they want to close asap.

Another guy in my company, openly incompetent but big buddies with the higher-ups gets his idea approved without effort. They open the doors for him and talk to Change Management to get him in. Then he's seen as Mr. Big Ideas while this guy doesn't even know how to use a terminal (I'm not joking). Even the girls admire him but he's a complete idiot who just smiles a lot.

It's whom you know, apparently. And bureaucracy is a piece of shit. So are cronyism and corruption.

Kiki, what was your site where you can slice product images for use as app icon / store picture and stuff? I desperately need it.

I remember that site delivering great results. The other sites suck or are paid.

jetbrains there is no situation i want wildcard import (or at the very least the people i work with who know better than i do)

disable that shit by default

Quote of our co-founder today: "Recently I've learned we should be doing market research before building something"

Explains why we are so much in the red now...

I think HR is the first role that could truly be replaced by an LLM.

today i shitted i think the same amount of kilograms that an average woman weights

I love how quietly cloudflare changed their captcha pitch from “stopping bots” to “stopping bad bots”, implying that some bots are good. Their bots that is, and bots of these who pay them I suppose

Gotta say, Arduino IDE is a hobbyware at best, but in my not so humble opinion, is a completely pile of chocolate pudding.

OMG, it can only target one type of hardware at a time. It has to apparently be completely reconfigured when you use different hardware. Libraries and the like that are loaded for one board cannot be loaded and available if you are building for a different board. I mean seriously, what the ... is wrong with these developers.

Imagine if Xcode would allow only one library load for any given hardware target.

💩ware.

Don't get me going with the editor... the inept "debugger" which NEVER works.

They need to fix this hobbyware or shut it down.

I like rust, but hate the person who came up with wgsl in the webgpu. That person needs a beating for putting web gpu tech decades behind.

I’m on life support. Here is my life. Support it.

Fucking git decorations! Now it seems they can't even be disabled in VS Code :(
