Pretty much. How to guarantee I will never buy your brand ever again. Not that I would ever buy a Samsung anyway. Or anything preloaded with Facebook for that matter.

It was my first time using a Linux GUI. I was comfortable with CLI, but it was my first time having it installed on a laptop instead of just sshing into a server somewhere.

So naturally, instead of learning how the GUI worked, I tried changing it to be exactly like Windows. I was doing things like making it so I could double click shell scripts and other code files and they would run instead of opening them up in an editor. I think you see where this is going, but I sure as hell didn’t.

Well, one of my coworkers comes over and asks me to run this code on this device we were developing. We were still in the very early stages of development, we didn’t even have git set up, so he brought the code over on a USB stick. I pop it into my laptop. I went to check it once by opening it in an editor by double clicking on it… Only it ran the code that was written for our device on my laptop instead of opening in an editor.

To this day, I have no idea what it did to fuck my laptop so bad. I spent maybe an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, but I was so inexperienced with Linux, that I decided to just reinstall the OS. I had only installed it the day before anyway, so I wasn’t losing much.

“I’m right, and if anyone disagrees, it’s because they’re brainwashed”

There’s literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.

I’m a long time Java developer who was recently moved to a project written in Go. All I can say is: What. The. Fuck. I swear, the people who designed the syntax must have been trying to make every wrong decision possible on purpose as a joke. The only think I can think of is that they only made design decisions on the syntax while high on shrooms or something.

Like, why in the actual fuck does the capitalization of a function change the scope??? Who thought that was a good idea? It’s not intuitive AT ALL. Just have a public/private keyword.

In my friend circles, the passenger was responsible for playing for the driver.

It happens! I moderate [email protected], and recently [email protected] merged with us naturally.

That feeling when you’re not a recent CS grad anymore 😭

I never even heard of rust when I graduated in 2016.

If you have a good IDE, and Java has the best IDEs of any language I have used, then auto complete will take care of most of that for you.

So if I’m understanding correctly, if I created a Sublinks account, theoretically I would see all the same content, and I could use the same app, but it would be more optimized and have some additional features (on the web UI or if the app implemented those features)?

Gen Xers: am I a joke to you?

I have solar panels and a backup battery. I was actually disappointed when the power didn’t go out when it got cold here in Texas last week.

I have a lock that I can check the status of on my phone, and even lock it from my phone if I forgot. It’s really good for my peace of mind. No more getting up in the middle of the night to check the lock.

Oh, I see. My work only knows I’m done by when I move my tickets to complete on Jira, so I just leave them as in progress until my due date. I work from home, so I just watch TV or play video games while sitting near my work laptop to respond to emails or chat messages in the meantime.

Imagine trying to control how someone says a word.

Just don’t say you’re done with your work.

I already finished all my work for the sprint that ends on Tuesday. It’s Thursday at noon currently.

Thank you! I’ll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

This is one of the ones I used

I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn’t impressed at all. It didn’t seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.
