Thank you!

That’s exactly what I wanted.

bro this is legit difficult

“the pre-owned volvo of [email protected]” is not as catchy as “The Ship of Theseus”

I burned a few CDs and put one of them in my car’s CD player

It worked but I got hit with “tray error” when I tried ejecting it.

It’s been stuck in there since april

getting into a car with a stranger who said he was 15 minutes away two hours ago

Web3 was about enabling us to securely transfer value between people digitally and without middlemen.

It’s ironic that the middlemen showed up anyway and busted all the security of those transfers

You want some bipcoin to buy weed drugs on the slip road? Don’t bother figuring out how to set up that wallet shit, come to our nifty token exchange where you can buy and sell all kinds of bipcoins

oh btw every government on the planet showed up and dug through our insecure records. hope you weren’t actually buying shroom drugs on the slip rod

also we got hacked, you lost all your bipcoins sorry

At least, that’s my recollection of events. I was getting my illegal narcotics the old fashioned way.

Does anti-cheat even work?

kernel or no

sorry you’re illegally trespassing on corporate property

My networking knowledge may be out of date, but can’t you get around region locked sites with VPNs or Tor?

I was in Turkey in July 2019. Wikipedia was blocked. I had to use Tor to access it. On installation I think I had to tick a special box that said something like “use flux capacitor bridge for blablabla countries like China and Turkey”

Though In that case, Wikipedia didn’t give a fuck if you were accessing it from Tor. The government did.

I know some sites block tor/VPN access for various reasons

there’s gotta be at least one fun game like that

A “junior” project manager at my company vibe coded an entire full stack web app with one of those LLM IDEs. His background is industrial engineering and claims to have basically no programming experience.

It “works”, as in, it does what it’s meant to, but as you can guess, it relies on calls to LLM APIs where it really doesn’t have to, and has several critical security flaws, inconsistencies in project structure and convention, and uses deprecated library features.

He already pitched it to one of our largest clients, and they’re on board. They want to start testing at the end of the month.

He’s had one junior dev who’s been managing to keep things somewhat stable, but the poor dude really had his work cut out for him. I only recently joined the project because “it sounded cool”, so I’ve been trying to fix some flaws while adding new requested features.

I’ve never worked with the frameworks and libraries before, so it’s a good opportunity to upskill, but god damn I don’t know if I want my name on this project.

A similar thing is happening with my brother at a different company. An executive vibe coded a web application, but this thing absolutely did not work.

My brother basically had one night to get it into a working state. He somehow (ritalin) managed to do it. The next day they presented it to one of their major clients. They really want it.

These AI dev tools absolutely have a direct negative impact on developer productivity, but they also have an indirect impact where non-devs use them and pass their Eldritch abominations to the actual devs to fix, extend and maintain.

Two years ago, I was worried about AI taking dev jobs, but now it feels like, to me, we’ll need more human devs than ever in the long run.

Like, weren’t these things supposed to exponentially get better? Like, cool, gh copilot can fuck up my project files now.

Place your bets for the final game

I’m going with Roblox

(no money/crypto will be exchanged, because gambling is haram and I placed a really bad meme bet)

I’d rather spend that kind of money on an escort

That way I’ll only be fucked once instead of being routinely fucked by the subscription fees

I don’t doubt the claim, but I would imagine others do because there’s a relatively minor technical skill hurdle on replacing a phone’s operating system which would turn most people away.

I never used a Pixel or Graphene OS, but when I installed Lineage OS on a Redmi, Xiaomi made me wait a week to unlock the bootloader. Huge pain in the ass.

Or there might be a better “drug-dealer-friendly” OS. I only know of Lineage and Graphene as open source alternatives, so I could just be speculating.

Also, all my former drug dealers used WhatsApp on the stock vendor OS. But then again… I live in South Africa, so the police are more focused on violent crimes (both enforcement and perpetration)

Real life: yes

Game: harsh

Like, they could have put him in the naughty corner or something. I don’t like the idea of banning as a game mechanic.

wtf

If traffic rules were that strictly punished in real life there’d be like max 7 cars on road globally

I assume you’ve been mass reported in whatever game you made this for

I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again.

Shit dude, that’s rough
If I may ask, what happened?

Otherwise, no nearby gaming cafés? They’re usually reasonably priced

2029 Headline: Worlds largest data breach caused by zero day exploit in popular PNG 3.0 renderer

the payload was reportedly embedded in an animated image of the attacker repeatedly flicking his left testicle

people just don’t want to work anymore

NO

THEY CLEARLY FUCKING DO

BUT YOU FUCKING GREEDY CUNTS KEEP FIRING EVERYONE AND TAKE FAT FISCAL QUARTER BONUSES

AND THEN IT’S A 19 STEP INTERVIEW PROCESS WHEN THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB

AND THAT’S IF THEY’RE “LUCKY” ENOUGH FOR THE DOGSHIT AI TO RANDOM.CHOICE() THEIR RESUME OUT OF THE 900+ OTHER DESPERATE APPLICANTS

THEN THEY FINALLY SOMEHOW GET AN OFFER: $1.89 per full uninterrupted hour at your desk and a single bag of skittles (opened)

Sorry for the caps, I’ve been in the job market recently and it’s fucking brutal. I have to constantly justify my value as a human being and then just face rejection after rejection.
