15+ years in the "industry" and I'm slowly losing my ability to be self motivated. I'm tired of the grind most days.

But any time someone comes to me with a problem they're stuck on, I'm instantly motivated.

Am I burnt out or just transitioning?

Has @Demolishun deactivated his account?

Manager: "add this"
Me: *adds the thing*

One week later:
Manager: "Remove this we don't want it anymore"
Me: Fuuuuuuuckkkkk

Remember when I told you that American idioms are always about the money? Well:
- Normal languages: “I’ll remember this”
- Americans: “It will live in my head rent-free”

SecRuleEngine DetectOnly

is the default. I installed it a year ago.

Whoopsie..

Forced to use Firefox since last night for technical reasons.

And oh boy, how bad it is... In one day, I saw over 10 bugs. Tomorrow, I'm repairing Edge settings. I'll keep Firefox as a backup, but it will never be my main browser. It's like keeping IE6 just in case.

Just a random small example!

I have something bound to Win+F11. Works perfectly in Edge. In Firefox, pressing Win+F11 pushes it into full-screen mode... I DID NOT PRESS F, I DID WIN+F11!

And so much more, like Shift+Ctrl+Arrow Up does not go into multi-line text selection to move up a line; it just does... nothing.

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.

If I publish this I'll have to credit chatgpt.

Bing, Google, and StackOverflow pushing users to use AI is like the vinyl and music industry pushing CDs in the 1990s. Like lemmings, rushing self-deprecation.

Some of you are aware what emails I send to companies to bash them very accurate to the bone and even emphasize them how dissapointed I am. I make it very personal. You fuckers wasted my time.

But, when someone does it well, I also say it. I've sent my second love email to codeium and they responded. But this time, it was AI and it was noted under the message that it was made with AI. OpenAI doesn't do that. So again, my respect raised for them.

I only use their auto complete feature while they offer a complete ide and stuff. But auto complete so well based on my own way of coding is just made in heaven. Codeium really affected my life in positive way. I mean, I really like to everything myself but not using their autocomplete would be even stupid imho.

I also really like that I'm in the top 0.01% users while using the free version 😂 But I'm just only interested in that 😂vibe coding is just not a thing at all yet, not in the neighborhood. Only if you have no vision regarding code style tbh. Won't not even call theirs bad, but it's just not mine.

ChatGPTs UI is so bad it probably was implemented with ChatGPT...

White people decided to rename female circumcision, a traditional practice that takes place among Khoisan, Nyakyusa and Khoekhoe people, to “female genital mutilation”.

The amount of suffering that white people caused to the Africans is immeasurable. And now, white people decide to export their “culture” to Africa, and to tell African women what they can and cannot do to their own private parts? For those of you who don’t know, it’s women circumcising other women.

Can whites just fuck off for once? Let African people write their own laws on their land, and practice their own culture.

If they choose to go to your country, that’s a different story. But as long as they practice their culture among themselves on their own land, fuck off!

I vibecoded ransomware that replaced files with their hashes instead of encrypting them and now Raytheon begs me to accept $12M ransom help

I hate that ChatGPT pops up suggestions when one starts typing in the first prompt of a new chat. I really, really fucking hate it. I hate it so much I stopped renewing my Plus subscription months ago and won't renew it until they add a feature to disable this annoying feature. Until they introduced the auto-suggestions in new chats, ChatGPT had an edge over Copilot which has always been ADHD by default like everything else from M$. But now, idk. I guess I will just have to create my own distraction-free UX.

Worst part of looking for a job is that I don't actually want one

the devil can only exist when no one's looking

... lol ask AI to solve math problem

it says it's X and Y called math problem, and has no solution

while I'm reading that, I figure out the solution

AIs are so dumb they're giving me arrogance

Carpeted toilet seat.

Systemd has telemetry now!

Pro tip: make your tool’s error messages very long, so feeding them into ChatGPT is not financially viable. Then, sell support for your tool.

My frustration for the day. And now onto fun stuff.

It sucks that peripheral manufacturers don't fully support Linux. I've given Linux Mint an honest and fair try and I like it for being distraction-free and unbloated as opposed to Windows. However, there are too many things that don't work in Linux, such as connecting an external VGA screen through an HDMI adaptor, or to configure a Logitech mouse. It's a deal breaker.

You only need Docker if you can’t use chroot.

ah fuck I think I got CTS. I should learn Cursorless.

Hi folks of Devrant,

I’m looking for a remote job.
I’ve built multiple products over 10 years in startups and have skills in C#, Java, AWS, and SQL.

I’d appreciate any referrals if you know someone hiring.

Not sure if posts like this are allowed. I'll delete if it breaks the rules.

nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.

wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?

what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office

if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day

i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand

What are the next technologies you want to specialize in?

Hi guys, I just joined...
I hope we have fun...😅

Guess who’s gonna lose her Linux from scratch virginity tomorrow

People really drive 90mph to get to work.
