Hanlon's razor.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

The next pirate bay is just "the internet without stupid age verification", I'm calling it now.

It begins. I've just ruined several people's weekend.

Goog actually got hacked. Not particularly sensitive data by the sound of it (publicly available business info). But wow. https://forbes.com/sites/...

My employer has made a settlement offer. They also very clearly lay out what they think I might accuse them of and I would have to waive my rights to sue. Primarily harassment, disability discrimination.

I'm not saying "fuck it, we ball" is my decision making process, but...

Someone's slack status shows them as in a meeting until 3:42 and that's just such an oddly specific meeting end time.

I'm in the process of suing my employer and I've mentally checked out of my job.

Funny enough, threatening the assholes that threatened to fire me if I didn't come into the office "for the benefit of my mental health" has significantly improved my mental health.

I feel like we need an "is this newly created account a chatbot" test.

Our HR person is "currently on leave", but it's not any kind of official time off according to our work calendar. I hope she's getting fired.

Yup, no longer on the store. Shutdown in progress I guess. Time to backup all the memories and work on the replacement. It's been fun y'all 🫶

Sid, I stopped reading after you started talking about my childhood. Do you know what projecting is? Maybe go to therapy. Sounds like you want to talk about your childhood.

I actually like the new devRant update. Now just one big chat room. Like the MSN of old. But also I'm still considered a paid user so I can post more frequently, bitches!

Sid, we don't care none of us follow you on YouTube.

Should have spent the weekend on dr2

Sudden urge to design my own programming language. Specifically built for concurrency. I really like the async/promise style stuff but I always think it's a pain to put together. Why not make the "putting it together" bit the languages job.

DevRant2 domain is available.

Jus sayin'.

You are protected by societal norms and social conventions for as long as you abide by them. Be nice, bitches!

Suing AI firms for piracy is right up there with charging mobsters for tax evasion, but that's the world we've come to.

The most interesting thing about the GDPR training that we do is that very little of it is about our rights as employees and almost all of it is to protect our employer. Funny that.

My favourite passtime is asking awkward questions I already know the answer to and seeing how long it takes the person to work out that they fucked up, that I know they fucked up and how monumentally they fucked up.

Incompetence. Incompetence everywhere.

Me in an email: "This information was not shared with you for your entertainment, and yet..."
Translation: fuck you, you incompetent bint.

First time I've spent £500 using Google Pay. Tiny bit disconcerting how easy it is. Must remember it's real money.

Dear employers, DO NOT FUCK WITH A PERSON'S DOCTORS. My doctors are paid to help me. If that means helping to sue your asses, they'll do it in a heart beat. Don't give them motivation.

My employer made dubious claims to my doctors in an occupational health referral. I've requested a copy of the referral. In the hopes I might not get a copy of the referral they've pushed this to my doctors as they don't want to give it to me. Because they've lied. Or they think I won't jump through the hoops to get access to MY OWN MEDICAL RECORDS.

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

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

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.

We're the problem.

I think GDPR is a pain in the ass but my employer has lied to my doctors about my medical information so suddenly I really like GDPR.

To the housemate that wondered into the kitchen at 4am and turned the oven off at the perfect time for the chicken I'd forgotten about, thank you.

I need a polite way to ask someone if they're brain damaged.
