YouTube keeps showing me offers to give me two months premium for free, but when I click it they offer only one.
I’m pretty sure this is illegal in the EU but I can’t be bothered so I stick with the ad blocker and reset the cookies every once in a while.
The time when people were doing strange and funny websites by cut and paste design on Geocities and Angelfire, new music was found on MySpace, vinyl rips of rare obscurities were posted on blogs you follow in Reader and expanding your music catalogue was amazing on SoulSeek.
I’m quite happy that movie distribution have evolved beyond blocky 1-2CD DivX;-) though.
I want it curled up and snoozing on my chest.
Me of yesterday is a lazy fuck and me of tomorrow is a whiny bitch.
I don’t know why I stay with these guys.

Cauldron? What? I don’t follow.
Edit I can’t seem to escape that URL properly on mobile. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauldron_(video_game)
I am when they pull shit like this making it a problem.
Instructions unclear, dick computer stuck in post.
For the company it is a tax write off and getting rid of their surplus. They don’t care what happens next.
What kind of ghouls are coming up with this bullshit? Speak about selling your soul to Mammon.
I feel like this about Linux news that are YouTube videos and no description text in the post. I don’t want to watch your video or podcast. I’m not interested in your broadcasting career. I want to know what was worth being posted about.
The first sequel is so so, but the others that are all centered around Burt Gummer are plenty of silly fun too.
Then you do not do Javascript, because it is an interpreted language.
Edit: or Python, or a command line shell, or any CORS, or databases, or… Well idk really what you do use honestly.
Now that you mention it, it is a bit funny how Lemmy is hating LLMs as a code generation tool while also hating on the interpreter for their own hand typed code not running.
It was never intended to run full applications but only the small business scripts and hobbyist homepage stuff that were the thing in the 90s, across inconsistent browsers that were a jungle of hit and miss behaviour where it was preferred that menus keep working even if the mouse effect was not. Anything of scale was expected to be done in Java. Dynamic web pages did not exist and as anything not static was generated server side into a static html file to be rendered on the client.
Anyway, back then it wasn’t considered the job of the programming language to hold the hand of the aspiring developer as it is common today. It’s not a bad thing that IDE and even compilers and preprocessors try to help you write better code today, but then it simply didn’t exist.
JavaScript is from a different time and because it has the hard requirement or backwards compatibility there is no changing it and has not been for thirty years except to add stuff to it.
I think it’s just silly to ask the past to keep up with the present. Bad code is not the fault of the language regardless, even though junior devs and even seasoned ones like to think so to protect their ego. I think it is better to accept it, learn from it and roll with it because every single platform and language has their weird quirks anyway.
Signed, old dude that learned programming in 8 bit BASIC and 6502 machine code without an assembler, where code bad enough would freeze your machine that required a cold boot and starting over from your last save that you didn’t do.
People that try to do mathematical operations with strings blaming the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense because they realized it would be used by people that have no idea what they are doing. Clearly they were right.
I totally agree with my dog when he wants more of the good stuff on his food because so do I on mine.
I’m thinking that maybe I should upgrade my old Win 10 Pro laptop to Windows 11 Pro, “just in case”, instead of going full Linux everywhere.
And then I read shite like this.
You’re not making it easy for me Microsoft.
The evangelists believe it is the trumpet to signal the end of times, so…
