Oh that’s cool. I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger? 3 weeks ago:
I knew it wasn’t spelled exactly like the bird lol. But yeah I used that shit for years. I don’t really have a use for it anymore or I’d probably still be using it
- Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger? 3 weeks ago:
I used that until they pay walled it. Then I found Pidgen I believe it was called. It was open source and could connect to pretty much every messenger and IRC and stuff. Then my friend just switched to texting lol
- Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger? 3 weeks ago:
Lync was such garbage. I used that for years at one of my old jobs. Teams just feels like discord with extra shittiness lol.
The worst part is that they had developed an in-house app that worked amazing but abandoned it for teams.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
I mean, I’m a dev who got laid off almost a year ago and still can’t find anything. I know tons of others who are in similar positions. So…
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
And yet, higher ups continue to lay off more devs because AI “is the future”.
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
I’m not sure what that means
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
I’m a software engineer but can’t even get a call back due to the fact that tons of us are unemployed right now. Many unemployed have more experience than I do.
The best part is that I can’t even get a job at a grocery store because I’m “overqualified” according to one store in my neighborhood.
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
You can definitely touch an IRA. Had to empty mine since I’ve been unemployed.
- Comment on "Skip ad's" YouTube and "Skip Intro" on Netflix take the same amount of effort but I only hate the former. 1 month ago:
On Netflix it’s just the intro to the show. On YouTube it’s ads. Big difference
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 1 month ago:
They pay song writers to create songs.

Come to Daddy
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 1 month ago:
I have had the same light bulbs since 2012. One of them broke when I dropped it while moving. Otherwise, no issues at all. Philips brand that I bought a box of 12 of when I moved into an apartment that year. Maybe I’m just lucky, but still no issues.
- Comment on Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating 1 month ago:
So you didn’t get the transfer cable with your calculator? Smells fishy
- Comment on A tool for managing overview of users appointed roles and permissions? 2 months ago:
I’ve used SailPoint at two different jobs. It’s got its issues. But it’s also a really powerful system for enterprise level identity and access management platform when configured correctly.
- Comment on I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? 2 months ago:
That’s the joke.
- Comment on YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete 3 months ago:
There’s a comment in this thread with a ubo custom filter that’s working for me.
- Comment on YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete 3 months ago:
Mine are getting trapped by pihole. They take 10 seconds to time out and just show a banner ad that won’t automatically go away without hitting the skip button. It’s really frustrating since I liked letting videos auto play as I fall asleep.
- Comment on I wish I could screenshot my dreams 3 months ago:
Talk to your doctor about prazosin. It’s done wonders for me. I don’t dream at all when I take it.
- Comment on no seating nearby 3 months ago:
Gotta make life harder for homeless people
- Comment on To what do blind people jerk off? 5 months ago:
As far as I can tell, I have visual dreams. At least what I remember of them. I’ve also noticed having internal visual imagery on certain drugs. Mainly hallucinogens, but also on phenobarbital which is used for alcohol withdrawal.
- Comment on To what do blind people jerk off? 5 months ago:
I have aphantasia. I’m not blind and could watch porn but I’d much rather just talk it out in my mind lol. I’m imagining my experience is probably similar to that of blind people.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
I used to buy FIFA and NHL games, once every few years. But they’ve gotten so shitty I just gave up on them. I haven’t played a soccer game in years now. PES used to be a good alternative but I’ve heard it’s not great anymore either.
- Comment on When did the show "Suits" suddenly get popular? 6 months ago:
When it made it to Netflix, it had a resurgence. It probably reached a wider audience, and it’s honestly a good binge show. I think it’s fun, albeit super unrealistic.
- Comment on What Does JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon Mean When He Says "The Consumer Is Doing Well" In 2024? 6 months ago:
Yeah well… Until I could find a new job, I was kinda stuck to be able to support myself.
- Comment on What Does JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon Mean When He Says "The Consumer Is Doing Well" In 2024? 6 months ago:
Jamie Dimon can forever suck my taint. In 2021 he told us, after record breaking profits, that they couldn’t afford raises or bonuses.
After a grueling year of insane productivity. After all the software devs were pushed to work 60-70 hours a week, every single week. My team had to work till 9pm every single Friday for deployments. But yeah, you can’t afford bonuses or even a cost of living raise.
Fuck him

Bandcamp has been great but I fear the enshittification coming. Half the staff was fired by Epic Games last year and then it was sold to a music conglomerate.

I hadn’t thought that some bad actor could use faker that way. I hope no one does. But I’m glad there’s some recommendation out there, cuz I’ve definitely used it for tests and realize it could achieve the same result
- Comment on Send a message! Use a digital pipe bomb! 6 months ago:
I mean maybe you’re right. I honestly hadn’t thought about that cuz I was getting 200s. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t immediately dumping the content. For no reason at all, do you know of any locally hosted ruby on rails gems that can use generative AI?
