Fun fact, IE is still on windows 11, and it can be used though not through normal means. To any C#/.NET devs out there, on winforms the “browser” control is IE, and is still supported. Additionally some programs (like my company’s ERP) still can and do launch full standalone IE under certain situations.

Ah, I don’t use KDE, that is a dumb name for a file manager.

Naming, like in the general sense, it seems like many software have some ridiculous names (dolphin, ncmpcpp, gimp, foot, gnome)

For dolphin, if your talking about the emulator it is avalible for windows too and its called that since thats what the gamecube was called internally.

For gimp, yeah i hate the name too, its the “gnu imange manipulation program” and is also avalible for windows.

Those programs that look like random assortments of characters are generally libraries that other programs use to standarize functionality across programs. Don’t want there to be 15 different ways for your computer to understand “write this file to this location” for example. You’ll generally never need to know what they are or what they do.

Yea, im on a 6 pro with calyx. Its been my daily driver now for a few years. Apps that use in app purchases work to varying degrees. Up until recently pokemongo didn’t launch as an example. Others won’t load prices or store pages well, but thats to be expected without full google approval.

Some banking apps do work some don’t. Mine stopped working for like 3 weeks then returned to normal.

Everything bluetooth has worked on here just fine. Every day i connect my bluetooth headset and listen to podcasts at work or through bluetooth in my car just fine.

I literally had the “Java is to javascript as car is to carpet” conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn’t get it and I had to explain to him that you don’t drive a carpet to work.

Yeah, I really don’t understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.

They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn’t even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.

insert thats the neat part meme

Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.

Nope.

Yeah, i worked briefly at multinational japanese motor company and this was their logic. I was hired as a software developer contractor and HQ had rules stating, no open source software, no free software and the one that puzzled me the most no in house executables (WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HIRE ME?)

Of fucking course he did. It had to be him.

I like that even back then the jury found him unlikeable, though that seems to be the trend his whole life.

Oddly enough, there was another football league (USFL) which won an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

I’ll bet you’ll never guess what dipshit owned the New Jersey Generals until USFL went under. /s

In Elder Scrolls, you either need a perk or a (mercantile) level requirement (depending on the game) to sell them anything, otherwise they will only buy and sell in their goods in their catagories.

That entire company was like that. Any minor issue, misunderstanding on their end only, or just their own wild incompetence on display always had both companies entire chain of commands on the email list.

I have a long list of complants about this publicly traded company’s dangerous incompetencies.

My most satisfying email was when some project manager at the business partner company asked me why I wasn’t in a teams meeting to let their team test their software on our machine. This was an email basically everyone in both companies was on. My boss, his boss, that guy’s boss, all the way up the ceo, and her boss and her boss’ boss, etc.

I replied all with screenshots and an email that basically read “hey, you kicked me out of this meeting now twice. I can’t be there if I’ve been removed”.

I got an email back a minute later where she only replied to me with a sheepish “no i didn’t”

Tomska came out with a video about the scales of plagerism.

My coworker bought an ear bud case that he can play flappy bird on.

Yes that is correct. You can get a couple of unique armor sets from some new quests, some fancy new weapons, and 2 new sets of horse armor.

Its honestly really fucking funny.

Faster than light

No, I know, but there appears to be a collective shame here over him. At least from everyone who knows better at least. This moronic con man with the IQ of pudding somehow won, again, but this time with the popular vote. And there’s not just the embarresment that he is, its also the long term damage he’s doing to our reputation. I don’t live that far from canada, and I have personally noticed the dip in the number of canadian plates I see around here, and it hurts. I have more to say but I feel like I’d just be ranting.

I feel like every conversation with someone from another country I have to preface it with “sorry, I hate his guts too”
