When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb

They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.

Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON’T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?

Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I’ll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.

To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.

Like, I shouldn’t have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn’t work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that’s prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.

Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping “about” a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it’s “dangerous” for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.

Microsoft errors be all like

Contact your administrator

Motherfucker, I am the admin.

No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly “generic” English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.

This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go

Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?

Do sunflower seeds give you a chubby?

Considering the extreme gender disparity of online dating, I’m inclined to agree. Funny how no one cares about that inequality.

As Mozilla points out, there are numerous safe browsing systems to which you can opt in — opting in being the key here — and there’s nothing preventing any entity, the French government included, from creating their own software, browser extension, or DNS service for anti-fraud purposes. They don’t need legislation for that, but they do need laws to force software providers to implement a non-optional, government-operated blacklist of “no-no” sites they deem unacceptable for any reason they see fit; it will absolutely not be limited to fraud alone.

France’s proposal is so stupefyingly contrived, it’s so obvious this is the true intention.

Don’t do this. Any mask that you can wash is useless for protection. You need an N95/FFP2 or better.

No, it doesn’t. Exhaled breath emitted through the filtration material can still cause glasses to fog.

And here I thought pansexual meant you really like cookware.

Pure exhaustion from all the “hurry up and wait” of airport bullshit.

By the time I’ve gotten out of bed, gotten ready, travelled to the airport, dragged all my shit through the airport, unpacked and repacked half of it through security, boarded the plane … my body just kinda gives up on being awake.

Yeah, I just noticed this today. Yesterday, it was still working while logged out, then it stopped, then it worked for a while again, and now… RIP RiF.

Also posting from Sync for Lemmy. This app is the shit!

The leading Democratic mischief-maker is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who advocates some left-wing views I consider simplistic and impractical and, in some cases, poll badly. The top example of a conservative mischief-maker, presented in perfect symmetry, is Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This author is like Shrodinger’s dumbass: I can’t tell whether he’s being facetious or if he’s actually pulling the BoTh SiDEs card, as if these two reps are even remotely comparable.

lmao damn Jewish space lasers!

CONSTANTS: oh yes daddy, don’t stop
