- Comment on Cloudflare DDoSed itself with React useEffect hook blunder 2 days ago:
Idk most teams I’ve worked with have either known better than to deploy anything at EOD or on a friday, or make heavy use of feature flags so any change that caused an issue just got swiftly rolled back. The ones that didn’t, I made it ABUNDANTLY clear that I won’t be available outside of work hours.
Maybe I haven’t been around the block enough or maybe I got lucky…

The number of references and in jokes was what made me give SNW and eventually TNG a chance personally. I jist really wanted to know wtf was up with the Koala

Most of these are great but I wanna point out some of the ones I don’t agree with
- I’ve found that the elbow grease bit is gonna be a dealbreaker for 90% of Windows users even when they hate windows. I hate it but that’s the truth
- Nvidia is much better than it used to be but it’s still a PITA unless you use a gaming distro or one that comes with proprietary drivers preinstalled and properly configured (even for someone already very comfortable with linux). This is important if you want Wayland to work correctly or need optimus on laptops. Furthermore, and this is laptop-specific, KDE Plasma is gonna have low FPS on secondary monitors or drain tf out of your battery by defaulting to dedicated graphics if your config is wrong (and it’s wrong by default on laptops)
- Switching desktop environments is a massive PITA so choosing the one you like first time is important.

If IT guy thought they new, why not bring it up, offer consolation, maybe buy a few rounds…you know, human with empathy stuff?

I had to look through their profile after you said that and GOD DAMN, they posted the ones I found most memorable!
We don’t deserve you!

Ah, that’s completely understandable. Most people don’t realize that in a lot of companies, the decision to make the stupid feature/break your workflow comes from a suit 10 pay grades above your level and despite everyone involved trying to explain that it’s a bad idea.

Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they’re Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won’t shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just heen missing them?
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 2 months ago:
It’s still kinda crazy to me that a seventh gen i5 (still very capable for general use) and i7 (still a very good processor for pretty much everything) are considered “incompatible” with Windows 11.
Good thing the OS is trash though. My laptop supports it but I’ll be damned if I upgrade. Just switched to Linux as my main OS with Windows running on a separate drive for shit anticheat games I can’t quit.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 3 months ago:
The only tine it’s been useful for me was the time I used it to write me an auto clicker in rust to trick the aggressive tracker software I was required to use even though the job was in-office and I was using a personal machine. Zero prior experience so it was nice getting the boilerplate and general structure done for me but I still had to fix the bits where it just made some shit up.
Anything more than copilot auto-completion has been downright useless in my day to day where I actually know wtf I’m doing.

No, of course not. I was being sarcastic. I usually add a /s but this seemed obvious
- Comment on SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE 5 months ago:
The only logical approach here is to ban use the use of “Nicole” or “fediverse chick” across all instances and warn or ban anyone who upvotes posts that mention or vaguely allude to “her”.
