Ads are intentionally produced litter.

Useful meetings 🙄😮‍💨

Whoever decided that mobile video players should not have a seekbar... I don't know what to tell you.

Better validate input array length before you use the 21st element in your regex, amirite?

Lineageos finally found a way to add signature spoofing for microg. No need for special roms any more if you want to degoogle yourself.

"Most people don't know what files are and don't know how to type and read, so they need tools that look up those files for them, put the numbers and words in those files into graphs and colors, and replace the typing with little buttons."

Maybe "non-replaceable" batteries in phones isn't a big deal after all. By the time the battery has degraded, the glass back cover is broken for certain. It's no big deal replacing both at the same time.

If I uncheck the "stay signed in" checkbox on login, don't have it checked when I need to sign in again. Especially, don't do that and make me sign in ten times when I'm just navigating your page.

Try to avoid making the website for people like yourself, because not everyone is stupid.

Laying cozy on sofa, watching yt from phone. Decide there's a need for a bigger screen but too cozy to adjust position to watch from TV. Grab trusty old chromebook running Debian from arm's reach instead. Haven't used that thing in a while. Try to connect bt headphones. Notice that the Bluetooth module is not detected according to the UI. Weird, never noticed that. Wonder what that's about. Apparently someone had fixed it in kernel already long ago, I'm on a much newer kernel. Too lazy to pick up wired headphones from across the room. Maybe I'll update the firmware, I haven't done that in a while. Oh, the script doesn't run because it requires newer glibc. Wait, I'm still on Debian 11, maybe it would be worth it to upgrade to 12. Wow, upgrading Debian is a surprisingly manual process. Wonder what I'll be doing tonight. Wait, what was I doing again?

What if, instead of your normal crook, palm readers are people with a hand fetish.

I expected this video about an emacs enthusiast to be crap but it was actually quite funny. Or maybe it's just me.

It's not Google, it's Joogle.

Why do people collectively act so that we can't have nice things.

That there's not enough of it.

There's always ten different ways to do the same thing. There's never a need to do it the same way until there is, and then you're fucked.

- I'm trying to connect to the server at your location. What's the IP address?
- You can just write localhost there.
- 🤦‍♂️

You have been awarded the title of Master of Spaghetti as a reward for your efforts.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the weekly rant topic 365 is about enterprise support.

So Tesla employees with access to recordings from customer vehicles have been sharing clips internally whenever something "funny" happened. Including nudity, intimacy, stuff inside garages, and crashes. And some even got promoted for doing this.

If there are any Tesla owners here, grab you cock and start waving at your car so they have to watch it. Or if you don't have a cock, borrow your neighbour's one.

Makes you wonder if other companies handling customer footage for labeling or otherwise are much or any better.

This rant is your playground for devrant-related chatgpt bot queries. You will still be judged for posting your queries here, but slightly less than in other rants.

If your phone had taken photos of your face for your whole life without you knowing, would you watch a video that was automatically generated from the photos?

Excel is a database

So mentions don't work again?

ChatGPT can write code faster and seemingly better than many programmers.

So someone got kicked out today, it seems.

Fuck SAP. May they receive their punishment in the circle of hell they deserve.

rewrite it in rust

What historical trends look more ridiculous now than short-form video will look in a few decades?

Fuck Intel and their garbage push pin cooler mount. Yay new old CPU.

The display power savings feature on Intel GPU drivers is retarded. It reduces backlight brightness when you're viewing dark content and pumps it back up when you have something white on the screen. This is the complete opposite of what you need for keeping the image viewable with minimum backlight brightness.

The dark parts of the dark image can be kept the same brightness by reducing the backlight, but the white text you're reading will actually be darker, so you need to manually set the display brighter. And then you need to reduce brightness when you switch to a white window because now that's too bright. And as a bonus, the backlight brightness will keep adjusting when you change windows, which is super distracting.
