@kiki huh I didn't say coordinated. it's just natural psychology

oh well too complicated to explain probably. I'll stay out of it then. do as you will

ooooh what if devrent programmers make a new AutoCAD but cheaper or open source with support licenses for the dummies

@Lensflare that seems confusing

you seem to routinely think I don't like you. you're like a scab I wanna pick at but clearly people get sentimental about scabs 🙄

I think I'm trying to get at what makes up a psychology like that but it isn't out of malice or something. to me it's fun. I'm a being of curiousity, though I do have unconventional means often

could make a video game I guess

could make a music generator (and get no money even worse than the game thing)

and then if you have stuff like open source weather data... well first off I don't even know where the API for it is even tho your tax money is paying for it. and there's already 500+ ad-infested weather apps using it. so I wanted to find the data so I can just not have ads but I have too much useless stuff that doesn't make money to do and I could never crack the money problem because everyone is trying to crack the money problem all the time I guess

but I don't mean to dishearten. I'd love to be made to feel stupid on this because the payoff would be great

best I got is using APIs someone exposed for purposes that don't align with their intentions and then I get something personally useful out of it 🤷, but legally I can't sell that and also everybody tries to shut me down all the time which is annoying. alas

even Google maps they put in the terms of agreement that you cannot cache their map results. how stupid is that? it's because they charge outrageously for map queries.

@tamagotchi I don't even do that

and i pirate everything or get it open source

other than food and rent and drugs and some physical lamps and cleaning products

people can't just whip up and write code but the thing is programmers notice problems others think of as problems so some exoteric thing ends up useful for mother programmers instead of normies

the other thing is turns out to sell anything useful to people you have to deal with the law and licensing. unless you're just gonna propagate some kind of knowledge like a school

like Netflix might have a shit interface but you can't compete because you can't pay 100 million for the rights to play a movie like they can

same thing with music streaming

so then you may as well just run an advertising blog for similar effects. or make popcorn time and be free. or rabbit.tc which allowed multiple people ina chatroom to all watch movies or YouTube together... but licensing, sigh

@kiki lol he's joking

sort of

tho ye don't bulli me if you've got actual issues to vent for like days, weeks on end I'm not made for that. and then you've got social clout on top of it -.-, cuz that makes socializing in the region miserable. Kiki's stuff empowered CoreXFusion or whatever his name and I don't enjoy that guy, nor lensflare piling on me nor tosensei. alone I'm ok with some interactions (except for CoreXFusion because reasons) but piling makes me too exhausted to care and mobs of people do as mobs do and keep each other in ignorance past factual things, they're like high off the mob energy

but 12bitfloat is just cutely a disaster as far as I'm aware. I AM PRETTY CONTROVERSIAL IT'S OK, and my humour is

just not mobs tho with actual malice (that actually happens sometimes... like one dude made a serious Bitcoin reward dox poster because he wanted to kill me for like 3 years lol, kept showing up, garnering support, trying to locate me everywhere I had went internet-wise)

@12bitfloat you've sloped yourself, by god

@TeachMeCode yeah I had to do it for salaried but then if I was even 15 minute under they deducted my pay... even tho where I live you have to pay overtime on salaried they never did also

@12bitfloat slippery slope fallacy

@AmyShackles just sounds polite

I had a manager always end all her emails... asking for things that were unnecessary to do... with "thank you for doing this for me so speedily" or some variation of. NGL what. I was gonna do it anyway because she asked but her saying that was always so gross to me, so "entitled". seems so manipulative and she just assumed she isn't like my boss and I have to do what she said anyway or lose my job.... kinda was abusive ngl. cuz I ignored it but fuck it made me feel shitty every fucking time. I do it cuz I have standards not cuz you're fucking emotionally manipulating me. but this emboldened her over time to do more emotional manipulation, of other forms... vile person

@PaperTrail that's not a rockstar... that's a slave driver lol

what's it matter how many hours you do if you get the work done. this is why I have PTSD. it's not a damned prison yard

I am starting to understand why people get passive aggressive. if this is the world we have to accept then people deserve it. in your 8 hours of work I can do several weeks. that means I'm punished. because fuck you. you didn't stand up straight and salute. Sally over here can't remember how to log into her own computer for 2 hours of every day. should I become like her? is this what "going beyond" looks like? look busy and be an inhumane dick?

it's vile

I don't want to pretend to work. I rather automate so much of the job we can all just fuck off and chill, basically supervise the code. why hasn't anyone realized programming is automation galore? have you all lost your damned minds? escape the fucking prisoner mindset. fucking hell

society is fucked anyway. why nitpick this one specific thing that killed a few million people and harms millions slowly over time, every day, when there's actually tons of categories like this. just nobody bothers to critically look at anything 🙄

@CaptainRant later I realized my phone has 0 open tabs at all times these days 😏

@YourMom damnit you don't like the joker voice in my head either! fuck what is it!

I kept thinking it was a possessing spirit. I can't tell if it's me or not me. am I haunted or disassociated from a part of me. grrrr

@Lensflare if I didn't like you I wouldn't talk to you. clearly I must like something!

scammers. scammers everywhere

@Tounai could just zone out

I'm a slacker but not an incompetent one. I don't find ones who throw their work at me cool tho

especially after time if their opinions are useless you don't even have to listen, just repeats and predictable

have you seen the amount of ads pervading everything

soon you'll be clockwork Orange strapped to watch ads so you can do your government taxes. if you say no you go to jail and owe x20 your net worth to the government due to delayed disclosure and the interest rate which they keep jacking up because they keep printing too much money and causing too much inflation

no she's the firing person

I dislike and want less clutter. does it sparkle with you

wait til you meet opus. sexy

slackers and incompetence fine as long as they don't bug me

hell yeah management left. it's like your parents leaving. they should stay gone

thanks for coming into my brain. I am bueller's day off I guess

@YourMom I thought he builds and I'm his disparaging project manager 😁

I did not know

alpine is even slimmer 😋

@Lensflare yes

I'd code it up and maybe several visual versions (but cuz I do that when I present stuff cuz management where I was at was indecisive and changing their mind a lot, so I'd prepare and give them demos to help them decide and it worked well)

and then do a mock backend with static or random data. then easily switch that out for the real backend later

covers your ass anyway, I would figure

reminds me of a school group project I had tho and that did not go well at all cuz my whole group and only my group were slacking like I got setup to fail. and the joke "the teacher was just preparing you for the real world" does not make that guy a good teacher. makes him a fucktit

lol some dev was dead inside and just a mannequin for management's neurosis I guess

this is like the time I was asked to build DRM for a node js software... not to mention the only reason I'm in tech now is cuz I pirated everything and reverse engineered MMO servers as a teenager so that's just a weird ask man

why would you stop him

his life
