Some grad included unecessary libraries held over from them dorking around on a testbed that cost the company $40,000 and blew the code out tenfold

Last time i watched youtube unprotected it had a higher fcking ad frequency than television. And they were put in the stupidest places imaginable, making the video unwatchable. And i’m fucking genx, so i grew up way before the concept of avoiding ads.

There’s funding your product then there’s just being a piece of shit

The ol’ master/ slave configuration again…

“Their rules” are basic security precautions

Missed the earlier post where i mentioned other devs as well, huh.

I’ve been doing tech for 25 years, we have terrible work life boundary issues that are very readily exploited. (And yes, i have been wfh since 2015)

At what cost to themselves?

Willing to bet they work a minimum of 150% of the hours they’re paid for

eh, as usual the best option is one that let’s people choose.

Hubs can’t wfh, he completely loses any and all definition of set work time

Wfh is the worst thing for a dev.

Zero co actually just announced this bullshit - their former model was recycled plastic ‘forever bottles’ you refilled from recycled plastic pouches that you sent back to be cleaned and reused.

Now they’re doing much smaller single use packaging that’s ldpe lined cardboard, doesn’t work with their forever bottles (meaning you have to buy new proprietary kit) and are touting it as greener.

Rhowch = give / enter supply? Kinda? Like “enter password” is where i’ve seen it.

Mwyn = mine as in dig

Wmffre = welsh version of humphrey and i only know that due to my great-grandfather.

Googling doesn’t work any more, they’re incentivised to keep you searching fruitlessly for as long as possible so they can serve more ads

that’s because google is geared towards selling shit, not locating articles on the internet.

DDG shits me with its “oh a - symbol means show less of something” no it means I want it fucking elimated you fl00n.

Google’s been heading that way for a while, but goddamn this last month it’s completely shat the bed.

My fave was the other night whrn a search for ‘vast visual auditory sensory theatre’ (literal artist and album) gave me top results of scholarly articles. Trying to google song lyrics gave me fucking screen issues. Utterly useless now.

Yandex gives some fun results, when was the last time you saw non-reddit forum posts pop up?

It’s not flogging your data, forcing you into using shitty apps or generally selling you for stock value.

I have a switch controller that requires two plug ins to work

SORBS

Dad who? Never heard of him. Wrong number

oh it definitely has. I’ve been in the industry since last century, the actual poke everything, do this for fun, invest yourself, wild jockey type…well we’re a dying breed.

God it’s not even that, the general tech knowledge has just plowed into the ground
