A true open source project is one owned by the contributors. A project started and managed by a company is source accessible, regardless of the license they publish it under. Any contributions you make to such a project is work you have given that company for free. Don’t believe otherwise.

Yeah, fuck this trash game. Lost on the first(?) bird fight and just can’t bring myself to give enough of a shit to try it again. Uninstalled this trash.

So, so, very tired of reading the wacky convoluted prose barfed up continuously by this damn bot.

This is very accurate. I'm having a very difficult time making myself care about this game. The combat is worse than the abysmal writing. I have not been able to figure out why this is such a fan favorite. www.reddit.com/r/patientgam...

Just finished off the first Control game. Very well done game. Pacing is good. Weapons eventually get too weak, and the ending shows up unexpectedly. Overall, though, they did a great job mashing together a bunch of different game mechanics.

Gee, really? We can’t trust thieves to be responsible? Surely they wouldn’t sell our own efforts back to us in such poorly constructed products that they can be used to destroy everything we’ve built?

This is what is supposed to be making our lives better? Tools that don’t do what you told them to do via their own mechanisms for configuring them? 😒

I didn’t think eggs were a secret baking ingredient

I do not enjoy struggling with “in to” versus “into” seemingly every day. I’m confident I get it wrong more often than I get it right.

Another day and another @github.com outage

I don’t remember much from my bsc in mathematics, but I’m pretty sure linear algebra and statistics are not consciousness

Or, and hear me out, you can just write glorious JavaScript.

I really don’t understand why people show up in my inbox with “full stack” positions. What is it about any of my public profiles and work that indicates I do anything with “front end” aside from curse the industry for making it complicated for no good reason?

Just finished off 007 First Light. It’s a decent Bond story but gets rather tedious. Some plot points could’ve easily been cut. Very clearly padded and I 100%ed the story & achievements in ~27 hours. Absolutely hate the combat. Way better in Hitman. Hitman is just plain better all around.

These damn theft machines are such a waste of time. Constantly doing the dumbest shit possible despite receiving exact instructions

It doesn’t.

I have been saying for years “I don’t care about other runtimes. I care about this one.” And I was right. Sadly, nothing will change.

Even Java has simple APIs for loading source from a string. But in @nodejs.org we are limited to hacks with `node:vm`, with some needing an experimental flag. There should really be two simple functions for this.

sorry but...I'm gonna have to pass

Over a week of begrudgingly turning my Xbox on about half of the time I usually would because of this absolutely horrendous mini game and specific task in it. Finally, FINALLY!, hit it immediately after a run that was off by 10 points. Throw this in the trash where it belongs!

I have spent the past 2 hours evaluating email clients to replace Airmail. Of the ones I have actually installed and used, eM Client is by far the best. If they will sort my problem with the quick actions feature, I'll gladly pay them $150 for a lifetime license. These guys got it right.

“Now I have the complete, precise picture”

Do NOT do this. You will give them what they want: a legal entity to blame and sue when something goes wrong. The ONLY valid response outside of ignoring it or saying “fuck off” is: “I invite you to review the license under which this software is provided. Goodbye.”

@github.com why can't we disable this "Copilot" garbage at the org level? I never want to see those useless "reviews".

Fucking hell. Meteorologist just said metro Atlanta typically gets 38 above 90°F days each summer. This year, 75 days! Listen. I like it warm. Mid to upper 80s is ideal. But this has been miserable.

The fact that I had to use this cheese technique and map to accomplish this says everything one needs to know about the terrible design of this game. gamerant.com/ff7-final-fa...

The Object prototype really needs a way to intercept field assignments without having to wrap them in a slow as molasses Proxy

31 years ago today, one of the greatest movies of all time was released. Today, they’re trashing our rights even more than ever. Hack the planet!

If there’s anything these damn bots are good for, it’s unrolling all of these damn `.reduce()` blocks. One of the most illegible constructs in programming and it should be banned.

I cannot believe how difficult it has been for me to find someone to use my spare GNR ticket

How can I possibly open this? It’s too good.

Sunday always comes too late

Nowadays, I might look at maybe 5 issues in a day across all of the repos I help maintain simply due to time. When it’s clear I’m looking at a bot proxy, or just plain a bot, I lose all interest in the issue and looking at any others.

The nonsense this industry comes up with. ARR => _ANNUAL_ Recurring Revenue. But they have $1MM ARR in less than a year? GTFO

It is mind bogglingly stupid.

Am I the only one that hits “report spam” but not the offered “unsubscribe” button in Gmail? I suspect pressing the button will just garner more spam

ECONNRESET (The new name for @github.com Actions)

Super dumb. Just send a damn email. If it doesn’t bounce, it’s “good”.

At what point does @github.com return to being useful? How is it that one of the richest companies, with a giant stockpile of talent, can’t get this problem solved?
