"I'm good in building build pipelines"

The license for assets on epics new asset store is insane:

For any Content licensed to you under a Standard License, you may not:
i. attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or derive source code or data from the Content;

HOW IN GODS NAME AM I SUPPOSED TO USE ASSETS I BOUGHT WHEN I CAN'T EVEN DERIVE FUCKING DATA FROM THEM???? Like how in hell am I supposed to load textures and meshes when the only thing I'm allowed to do is to maybe look at them

They DO know graphics cards can do sweet fuck all with a JPG texture, right? Like I /genuinely/ have to translate that thing into a proper format for it to have any use

Why arguing with each other while we could reunite and hunt those spammers together?

Congrats @retoor on hitting 10K !!

So, when hovering on that element in the bottom task bar in Windows 11, it shows those two icons (wifi and sound) grouped together.

Left click anywhere on that button and it opens the same menu.

But if you right click, now it suddenly depends if your cursor was on the one or on the other icon. It opens different menus!

Great UX! Good job, MS!

What do you think is the biggest lie on the intenet? I think it is "we care about your privacy".

Sometimes it's better to burn a bridge so you don't even think about crossing it in the future.

See, I left a company some years ago because I didn't see my future in it and all management combined had a collective intelligence of a chicken.
However, I got a call from them a couple of months ago asking me if I could return. The salary was double and the working arrangement seemed fine. On paper. WFH. Flexibile hours...
Since I actually liked the project itself for its technical challenge, I accepted the return offer. What a bad idea that was.

Of course, the things that made me leave for the first time had only gotten worse. Bad leadership, idiot developers in team leader positions. Tech debt higher than Mount Everest. Bad infra that makes you want to off yourself every time you work on it. The whole circus.
Seriously, the "senior" team leader will happily merge code that includes assert(true == true), but hold up a well written MR because he has a personal vendetta with the developer.
Personally, I always check him whenever he starts being an ass. But the poor juniors are in hell. They're terrified.
Now I'm leaving again, but this time I've made sure I can't come back.

When someone says 'it should be an easy fix,' you know you're in for a week of debugging.

tomorrow, my mom has heart surgery. thats one of the most serious surgeries to exist. i hope and pray the advancement of medicine and technology has improved well enough for the results to be ok 🙏

mmmmmmm olives

Took a week off just to stop working because I’m burnt off, can’t help opening slack, it’s like muscle memory.
FML

Tailwind is what happened when a Perl dev looked at CSS and said “I can fix it!”

My employer forgot that I've been overseas for 6 months. Just, forgot.

You ever feel like you have too much responsibility at work for your experience level

This is why I don’t drink

Thanks CSS 🙌

I need to pull a few rabbits out of my arse on Monday and I don't have enough executive function points to do it all 🥺

Just noticed I haven't been here for quite some time. Missed you, you fucks <3
Also noticed notifs don't work for me no more.
Do dR notifs not show for anybody else?

My brain overheated again. with my autistic empathy cranked to 11, I’m now feeling sorry for a js service worker because browser puts it to sleep when it wants to, and it has to call waitUntil to ask the browser not to
I’m about to cry

error stack trace so fucking long you can't see the relevant part that matters of the unset environment variable you need to set

fuck you spring (boot), and gradle

even with the info flag on it doesn't show me the relevant part , fuck you

There are only two kinds of open source projects:
1. Short, all-lowercase, starts with “lib”, written in C, obscure author, used by 80% of the electronic devices on earth and in space, the modern civilization as we know it will collapse immediately should this library disappear
2. Name that tells you nothing, readme has the “Philosophy” section and emojis, written in JavaScript, author has 20k Twitter followers and 50k GitHub stars. When you run it, your laptop’s coolers start spinning like crazy
3. Common Lisp

Why does email suck so much oh my god, I don't want a fucking lesson in the kinds of domain records, I can set a TXT to prove that I control the DNS record, I have a TLS certificate, what the fuck else would I possibly need to prove!? None of this is contributing anything to security! Just fucking figure it out, it's the internet, not an international border, jesus.

Why don't we have a social network like devrant but better and stronger?
If we form a team, and we get support, we can build this!

VK has the weirdest client side errors 💀

I am giving you all a license to roast me. Give me the best you got.

All your web applications are just UIs/headful clients redesigning or repurposing phpmyadmin and atlas

Seven more years until I retire.

You know what would be nice? Coding and exploring for personal fun instead of for work! Even outside of work it's become about work now, because the market is so toxicly exigent!

Can't wait to do my own side projects.

What is a good application for reading PDF's on phone? I want a PDF viewer that makes it possible to change font-size. The text in my PDF's are really text - not an image. I can select the contents with Samsung Notes for example. If a reader is a able to select it, there must be a reader that changes the font-size right?

I'm reading "Beautiful code" at the moment. It's a great book
