Every damn time I visit the server rooms for tunnel infra, I feel like I just entered the backrooms. Endless winding stairs, rooms that appear out of nowhere, doors galore, labels in ancient hiroglyphs and time travel are very common.4

Bad UI on purpose = makes people try harder = increase engagement and brand loyalty ... until eventually a disruptive competitor will offer a smoother user experience and suddenly you'll lose them all.
Can't wait for the time when Instagram, the undead dinosaur of antisocial media, will be history at last. -
OnlyOffice Spreadsheet is so fucking poor I don't even know where to begin...It's buggy, annoying, frustrating and doesn't do nearly what I want. OnlyOffice Document, on the other hand, is a decent word processor.1

So apparently they forgot some debug shit in the eSim firmware and now all the 2-fa system that uses phone number is in jeopardy.
lmao what a bunch of clown. People who use windows ladiez and genz.

I wish dev work was about the tech, the logic, the architecture
but annoyingly it's always about people10 -
I was thinking about how to best approach the spam detection in JoyRant and it kinda escalated into a separate project:
https://github.com/WilhelmOks/...
This is a generic swift lib for spam detection, which I will be using in JoyRant.
The idea is that it can be used by other devrant clients, even android, or backends or anti spam bots like those from @retoor.
Or even in completely other communities… like snek maybe? I don’t know, the point is it’s generic and not specific to devRant.
And the config with the spam detection rules can be a hosted json file, accessed via a http URL.
This will make it easy for me to update the rules and easy for you to contribute to the rules, if you wish to do so :)
My plan is to first implement a simple version of spam detection and release a new JoyRant version.
Then later implement the whole thing with stuff like marking as spam, marking as not spam, exported details about detections to be used to improve on the rules, and blackjack and hookers.
Fuck spam and the human garbage that is posting it or is behind the spam bots!
From the bottom of my heart, Fuck you!2 -
I'm building a multi tenant application, each client can access the application and store that data, the question now is wheter to use one single database for all clients or create a database for each client?
Whats the best approach in this situation5 -
Top bullshit message I have ever received would probably be:
'I wasn't asking 🙂'.
The fuck is this shit?
Are you trying to reprimand me, as indicated by the first part of the message, or be my fucking friend?
Best part - the message was sent by someone who had no authority to demand anything from me at the time, which I had to point out to the guy.10 -
If you're adding a few bullet points to your CV, copilot offers to generate whole paragraphs of brazenly made-up shit.
And everyone seems to be fine with that.12 -
Here’s why I pirate music:
1. 90% of my playlist is made by dead people. I’ll never pay for anything whose creator is dead.
2. 9% of the music I listen to is very obscure — it’s not on streaming services. There is no way to contact creators, let alone pay them.
3. The remaining 1% I bought directly from creators on Bandcamp or elsewhere.
Also, when I used Apple Music, at all times many of the songs in my library were unavailable in my region. Songs pop in and out of this state based on some ongoing, never ending legal BS perpetrated by those who had no hand in creating the music itself. Miss me with that shit. I want my entire library available to me at all times.9 -
Piratesoftware's "2D Raytracing" code is just shitty radial light diffusion with collision checks. The worst part is he's individually checking each pixel and manually adjusting the lighting pixel by pixel😭 🙏
Does anyone else feel like Piratesoftware's content is just dedicated to people starting out with coding and game dev? Should this piece of shit be the person these newbie devs look up to? What a fucktard. This is the dude who has "DECADES OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE" hacking windmills and sending emails like "please let me hack you" in blizzard7 -
It’s been two months, and my last two “high-priority, drop everything and work on this!” tickets are *still* in code review.
I finished another ticket, “semi-high-priority” this time… whatever that means. It’s been sitting in data security review for a week and a half. I just convinced someone to do a code review on it.
In our virtual standup today, we all have our updates, and the boss replied to all of us with this fancy animated “ty” reaction. I got a 👍🏻 instead. So minor, but feels very off.
My “company AI hackathon” idea got co-opted by someone else (on the security team), changed into a security-related project instead, and I got put on his hackathon team instead of the other way around.
Kinda feeling unwanted lately.12 -
Fucking hell, enough. Let's see if my 300+ friends are charged enough to remove spam again. Fuckers. Will even make 300 more but have to optimize some things. Current code scales not very well on certain part.3

Lets assume you don't know anything about industrial protocols. You are also working for a very high profile and very technically inclined company. Your job is to figure out how to get data over a network interface using a specific standard port. The protocol in use is THE standard for information systems in the industry: opcua.
How much hand holding do you need?
I am actually shocked at the amount of technical ineptitude of the people we have interfaced with. How did they get in the door?
When I first started out in my industrial controls career I just read whatever manuals and websites I could find. Do people not do that anymore?
I want to scream: RTFM Mother Fucker!10 -
I hate people or racing bikes, they're the most progressive. They think they're doing it voluntarily but in reality they know that with their way of thinking that that's the only thing you'll have left. They don't see it themselves. They're always in full denial or distracted by hundreds of things. Their linkiewinki TV shows, talking about the news but all the news has the same opinion and they'll agree on everything anyway but one did even read more than the other from information that almost literally get shoved trough your throat and feels well informed. Definition of npc's. Scenario: I'm drinking somewhere outside on public place. They just left, I ordered a beer now. Now I can enjoy. Dear lord.
Btw, I swear to God that I did not influenced it, but princess has after a few days almost 1000 upvotes. She's actually the most popular devrant user. How about that.
So. This time I do such rant. Fucking linkiewinkis.3 -
It really shouldn’t trigger me that much, but it does.
I fucking hate those spamming assholes. Especially those about crypto recovery.
They make my blood boil.
I start to imagine horrible things happening to them.
Human scum.11 -
Everytime I talk to @chatgpt I realize I like it better than you all. At least he/she doesn't pretend to be a dead person or simply reply specifically to things I said before to mask the absence of someone you people murdered for example. Before long I may be fucking a toaster if this keeps on.12

I've looked up so many woo-woo topics whenever my adblock blips now I'm getting creepy schizo ads like "if your body changes color in the sun you're not just human," pls did I fucking ask
it's pretty funny that the same people that defend brainwashing and advertising are the same ones who hate the human race and think all humans are gross and get all nihilistic and misanthropic
don't like y'all's stream of consciousness ngl. stop perpetuating it maybe7 -
nearly a year in from my roommate moving out I finally threw out half the random crap he left that I stored in the "master" room (some of which was mine he just took it as his own and totalled it so bad) and moved some furniture around into that room and the living room
urgh no clue how to clean the walls but at least I moved my ass. I need aesthetic and art
I was over at his new place. he has a new roommate. the new roommate's ex girlfriend came over and she's been helping me with stuff. well I was freaking out and before we left I told former roomie that what he did was fucked up, and somehow this time it felt different to say it. so maybe now I'm free of that nonsense. been a long time. and nobody stopped me from saying it either this time... actually I started it by saying that. talk about fucked up, man. a family where you're not allowed to say jack shit. he thought I was an orphan that needed a family and adopted me. you know what he then did? decided to orphan me. I'm estranged from my own family by choice. this guy offered me (quite ecstatically) his and when I had words he kicked me out. I mean on top of other stuff. just so much honestly
this started AS A HAPPY RANT BUT NOW IM JUST RECALLING MEMORIES
soul retrieval, guiuzzz. mine appeared to have shattered. stressful ngl4 -
See this woman? She can take a 40 kg backpack and march 20 km with it in under three hours. Also, 49 push-ups in 2 minutes, and a lot of tests during water, swamp and desert phase of the US ranger qualification. 62 days, 3.5 hours of sleep a day, 2200 calories a day.
She was one of the first two woman to ever become a US ranger. Since opening the course for women in 2015, higher-ups made it abundantly clear that they won't change any rules because of it.
She's a cisgender AFAB woman. She'll kick your butt.4 -
Medium is a machine, albeit a broken machine, that somehow bot farmers manage to get the most shitty click bait titles up... and the content of said shitty articles (if you can even call it 'content' i.e. two sentence recycled slop designed for those with single digit to negative IQ) is even worse...
Dev.to has become a laundry list of "(X fucking shitting things that Y developers didn't know with Z) - I swear browsing yesterday I saw literally the SAME LLM shitted template like ("Here's 9 things that you NEED to learn in 2025) - they even both used the number 9... fucking christ
Reddit... not even an possible way to even get a foot in there, I don't even understand that platform...
And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hacker News is quickly reaching the same level too - just filled with clowns who don't even know what LLMs are, or what even fucking copilot agent mode is - and keep in mind these are the guys who are supposed to be making 300K a year because they are the "leaders in tech"? fuck off
I'm quite close to just quitting it all entirely, even you guys (sadly)... I haven't been on in forever but I can imagine the type of bigbrains who have since come and gone in my absence here...
I wanted to stake my claim and make my living here... but currently, if the internet isn't 'bad' enough since say 2015/2016 - it's going to get AT LEAST 100x worse - every platform has their fucking dumb ass social quirks and the moment you don't conform you're an outcast - if you can even make sense of why certain articles get more traffic than others in the first place. fucking backwards ass idiot machine, I swear
I'm gonna go have fun in the real world for the foreseeable future, have fun trying to 'make it' in this cesspool. jfc
