I remember doing this with the text based captchas a decade or so ago. For a while it was pretty obvious which word was the control word and which was the one you were being data mined for, so it was always fun to throw a swear or something in there for the lulz to poison the data.
The only April fools joke I really encountered yesterday was modded Minecraft refused to launch until I changed the date to today. Too bad I didn’t figure it out until late in the day and my kid was upset they didn’t get to play because the stupid thing stopped loading right before the main menu
but if she did, I must have done something awful to deserve it.
I had that happen once with a former friend, and she shut her mouth awfully quick when I responded “yeah, or maybe it was what I was wearing”. Granted, she’s a rape survivor, but it baffles me how she basically used the same dismissal she dealt with against me. At least it helped her realize how stupid she was being, but still, damn.
Too bad epic is just trash and lacks basic functions that should be standard for any competent storefront. I used it for a free game once a few years ago and I couldn’t even play the game when my Internet died after I’d already played it.
Nothing like being so mad a shit service giving you a free product that you go and purchase the same product later from a real games store that had basic functionality.
Tell me when he WASN’T like that
Another vote for borg, I use a script and cron on the systems that aren’t in my proxmox host to trigger it and write to my NAS. There are windows GUIs for it, and you could also use WSL to run it.
But imo, backups should always be push, not pull. Makes it much easier to manage from my experience
Good to know it’s still good. I just saw two episodes and got disappointed
Sealab is great! That show (and ATHF) got me into mc chris
the Xtacles
You got my hopes up that there was a frisky dingo spinoff show…
Popular also doesn’t mean good. There are plenty of shows that run for years that aren’t very good, but make money. Mindless entertainment sells great, but selling isn’t quality, it’s just moving products. And low quality cheap schlock does sell.
This is basically how I see it:
And i don’t see it anywhere in this situation. They’re asked to do a job a certain way (or for management, to make sure it happens in a certain way), and they do that to the best of their ability.
Nah, I’m sick of trying to get you to understand that it’s not the person I’m talking about, but the mentality of management through the whole process. I don’t know if you’re just not reading the words I write or what, but I’m not willing to keep repeating the same point to a wall
Oh, it gets worse. I’ve had some where I have to enter a character into the boxes before it would figure its shit out…
I’m aware of the TUI logins (I think f7 is your graphical, but I might be wrong) and sometimes those work too. I’ve started just sshing in because the terminal switching was hit and miss.
But thanks for that loginctl command, I’ll have to give that one a try as well!
Wouldn’t he only be lazy if he’s not doing anything else more productive instead?
Of course not. It’s rather easy to see how one can choose to be lazy and not do hard work while being “productive” doing easier tasks. But this isn’t about the dev, it’s about the culture.
He gets payed to do a specific job,
Again, stop thinking I’m calling the dev lazy, you’re completely missing my point.
and does it the best way possible given the constraints. I don’t see how you find lazyness in that.
This is the laziness. The constraints imposed by management to get new features out the door at the expense of making their existing features work better is a hallmark of the current development era.
I’m not even going to respond to the last bit because it’s entirely irrelevant to (and completely misunderstands) the point I’m making.
I never called them lazy, I stated that the mentality is lazy, which it is. Whether or not that laziness is profit driven, it still comes down to not wanting to put forth the effort to make a product that runs better.
Systemic laziness as profit generation is still laziness. We’re just excusing it with cost and shit, and if everyone is lazy, then no one is.
If cost is a justification for this kind of laziness, it also justifies slop code development. After all, it’s cheaper that way, right?
How is that mindset lazy?
Are you really asking how it’s lazy to pass unoptimized code to a customer and make their hardware do all the work for you because optimization was too costly?? Like I get that you are in an Enterprise space, but this mentality is very prevalent and is why computers from today don’t feel that much faster software wise than they did 10 years ago. The faster hardware gets, the lazier devs can be because why optimize when they’ve got all those cycles and RAM available?
And this isn’t a different at you, that’s software development in general, and I don’t see it getting any better.
I’ve seen some stuff where going to sleep and coming out degrades perf
I’ll have to try some of these suggestions myself, as I’ve been dealing with my UI locking up if the monitors turn off and I wake it up too soon. Sometimes I still have ssh access to it, so thanks for the shell commands!
Probably just the browser itself, considering how bloated they’re getting. It’s not super surprising, considering the apps run about as fast (on a good day) as it did 5-10 years ago on a new phone, it’s gonna run like dogshit on a phone from that era.
I had to explain to my partner a year ago that I’m going hate and bitch about any job I had after the fourth or fifth time I bitched about on call or something. Took them a bit to realize that even the best job will be full of bitching and moaning because even the greenest grass on the pasture is going to have a ton of shit to wade thru
