That's not AI.

Oh my gosh. You guys probably don't know this already, because for some reason no one's talking about it... Microsoft just acquired Github!

Why is no one talking about this? I see absolutely no posts about it.

Microsoft is buying GitHub?

Actually, that sounds great. A lot of people here are making it sound like this is the end of the world as we know it, but how do we know that they will make it awful? The Microsoft of today is different than the Microsoft of 2007. The purchase is simply a way to expand their enterprise offerings. I have experimented with Office365, and it is actually really useful. GitHub will be a way to expand that offering to software development companies.

Who knows? We may even get some kind of Azure CI service built directly into GitHub repos?

However, I see why some people are concerned. If they want to move to GitLab, I don't actually blame them a bit. I was already using it before it was cool!

The point of this rant is that we should give Microsoft a chance, and not jump ship right away.

People ranting about Microsoft acquiring Github also happens to be using VSCode in another window.

If Microsoft bought GitHub to increase the amazing open source projects it has already been doing ( typescript and vs code) then I am all for it. This isn't your father's Microsoft and people seem to be missing that lately. Their contribution to open source software has been incredible the last few years and I'm excited to see how they grow that with the acquition.

THE NEXT FUCKIN TIME I SEE SOMEONE SAY "hay, how do loop python PLZ HELP" instead of asking a goddamn search engine IM GONNA FIND YOU AND SLIP YOUR FUCKIN THROAT WHILE I KICK YOU ON YOUR FUCKIN RIBS WITH ALL MY POWER AND SLOWLY DRINK MY COFFEE AFTER THAT.

DUDES FFS
Stop pretending that you have dev problems and that having those makes you a real dev.

Im talking to you peeps who think that naming variables is hard

It's just me or?

So Microsoft wants to buy GitHub... This makes me happy 😁😁😁

I decided to try a new mono font in my editor, this is a relatively new font called IBM Plex.

I can hear the sounds of a 1401 crunching through the punch cards while the printing out curlies that scream THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Mmmmm....I like it.

Did you know 8.8.8.8 has a TXT Record to xkcd?

212 millions invested in programming education in Quebec!

Yes!

But wait a sec! What are those fucking screen! And it’s fucking windows 7 you piece of shit! Use fucking ltsp! Costs less money = More teaching!

Poor students, at least they are learning to program

Writing comments*. Just stop doing it.

Shit like this makes me want to join the #deletefacebook movement. I just want to report it and sue for emotional stress.

Stop complaining about GPDR and the hard work required to be compliant. You had over two whole years to work on it but you waited until the very end.

Or you know, build services that are gdpr compliant from the start...

Starting a project and then abandoning it. Yep.

Why would anyone need 256gb on their phone?

I do not give a flying fuck which Linux distro you are using.

Dear javascript.

Kindly go fuck yourself sideways.

typeof null === "object"

commenting on every self-explanatory variable, what it is about

LinkedIn: I only have a profile because I like to fuck with recruiters.

"I have 30 years of experience in Java, 15 years in Android, and 49 years in C++"

And I STILL get contacted. Those people DESERVE to be fucked with.

PHP.

Stop taking names for variables and functions which makes no sense

Am I the only here who get so much PUSSY when encountering bugs in code?
P - panic attacks
U - uncontrollable anxiety
S - suicidal fantasies
S - sadness
Y - yearning to death

Am I the only one who genuinely appreciates all the updated privacy policies and opt-in notices I'm getting? The GDPR seems like an unequivocally good thing, to me.

*Email*
"We updated our Privacy Policy"
"We updated our Privacy Policy"

*opens devRant*
**Rants on Privacy Policy**

-_-

Well shit! These GDPR rants and posts everywhere on the internet is more annoying than those emails!

I never understood Snapchat.
- Its a text messaging app with all the useful features removed
- Its a camera app that deletes all the photos you take with it
- Its a news app that only shows you clickbait

STOP WITH GDPR! PLEASE!

After the email flood, now there are rant flood about GDPR!

STOP IT NOW.

Seriously... People talking about GDPR start to bother me more than GDPR itself.

Okay, GDPR started to be applied since yesterday, right. But having a feed containing GDPR everywhere bothers me more and more...
We all know that RGPD bothers many people here. Okay? You don't need to add more...

Seeing how this is going, I think that next months will be bad here...

I'm really hoping that all of this shit will stop soon...

I want my winter back
