yea i answer and string them along for ages. since i am not well, my voice and tiredness always shows through, but im quite lonely so i quite enjoy these long rambling chats. i always try to be helpful and ask them lots of questions, and always say yes to whatever they want. but i never give out bank account numbers etc. but i always say “yes i will contact my lawyer and they will cut you a cheque,. how much do you need? pls, let me help?” etc etc.
These movies are not bad. I quite enjoy them. Sometimes I skip the predictable endings.
linux has to start a new OS from the ground up. Go back to command line and PC-DOC days. Everything must be controllable at a basic level. Shove MS and Apple out the door. Nobody wants their adware and virus bloated shit any longer.
yup there is no way Ukraine can win now. All Russia has to do is needle the Republicans that US doesnt have the money for war on two fronts. US is screwed. Ukraine is screwed. Russia has basically won. Which means oil prices at $500 per barrel, and interest rates over 20% p.a. Humanity is fucked.
the problem is there’s actually zero evidence vapes alone (without nicotine etc) do any harm. The vapes which the industry is moving towards is just largely the same as steamed and cooling water vapour. It’s totally harmless.
the worst part for me, was not only being unable to estimate the time to solve the bug, i found that often the problem was in syntax or shadings of understanding on how functions or bracket syntax worked. i could refer to all the biggest programming books off the shelves, and the answers they provided would not work. Programming is one of those professions where answers lay with people who had busted their brains or lucked it trying to make it work, and had collected over many years, snippets of code which they knew worked. If you weren’t chummy with these people, you would never find the answer. This isn’t really a worthwhile profession. Unlike physics, or maths, where there is an independent answer governed by forces outside of an individual human, programming is a profession which inherently depends on learning errors from another human. It’s a pointless profession and gets you nowhere in life at the end. Sadly. (Unlike say law, or accounting or physics, where at old age, you know more about the world around you.)
the worst part about debugging for me, is i have no idea how long it will be before i can solve a single bug. it could take me 2 hours, 1 day, a week, no idea. Because i have no idea where the bug came from. I have ti go through increasingly more detailed testing cycles. Then devise more laborious testing cycles. This is why i chose not to work as a programmer. In other professions, I know i can give an estimate of the time taken to complete the task. Debugging? No real idea. What if the boss says finish it by tomorrow? I might be there all night.
yea these planes are going to drop like bricks. millions will die. what a farce. Any chinese here? how can you tolerate this?
sadly, LibreWrite still has random crashes, and omg their auto bullet system is totally hopeless.
mastodon is crap. you need actual verified accounts to id there. it’s a total shitshow.
I support op. We must have zero contact or involvement with anything connected to zucc, musk or evil greedy shits. Ban threads forever.
sadly, none of these is worth implementing. Remember, Windows is designed to break. MS has millions of tiny levers to flick, and they don’t care if their mindless flicking fucks up your work. Worse of all, the law protects them from flicking to destroy you out of spite. Best thing to do is just use linux. Or design our own OS. Since Linux itself is slowly collapsing under the weight of MS bullshit. And god forbid that shithole IOS.
this fucking IPO had better fail and reddit along with it.
