Root said I should probably use something like this.

I don’t have time to work on personal projects anymore, and I’m currently only committing to gitlab (and have been for quite awhile), so I’m getting no commits at all.  Probably why I’ve been getting almost no application responses.,@antigermgerm @retoor I still haven’t joined that. I really ought to before this place disappears.

@cprn I’ve done basically that contacting … eight people from devRant.  It wasn’t as bad as you outlined though :),@Lensflare Let’s just hope it won’t feature you doing pushups for misgendering a bandit or for being a problematic xenophobe and thinking a Daedra is hostile.,@retoor I agree, though $work really killed that for me.,Tickets at $work have lots of dance steps:
• Move ticket into sprint, set to in-progress, set “dev resource”
• Negotiate release date w/ QA
• Read ticket; talk with stakeholders for details
• Add est. story points
• Do the work
• Revisit with stakeholders
• Write specs
• Manually start CI
• Spec+CI iteration as needed
• Copy CI results to Jira
• Open PR; do self code review
• Ask in Slack for a code reviewer; babysit
• Write detailed steps for QA, w/ sample data, screenshots, expected results, gotchas
• Write detailed application security + data security notes in Jira
• Write up technical implementation summary
• Find avail. testing server and claim it in Atlassian; ask QA to approve server
• Deploy to testing server; test again; release server
• Babysit ticket through QA
• Update branch as it stales
• Get release approvals
• Update Atl. release page
• Notify sysops of migrations
• Ensure ticket isn’t lost during QA / release building,I forgot to add:
• Schedule a UAT demo with the product team,It’s just the 5G over-the-air monkey pox vaccine updates,@Grumm Server is already created; this is just deploying new code on top of it. (And recreating the data from daily sanitized prod data)

But yes. This whole dance routine takes forever.,I’ve spent the day fixing someone else’s “I wrote a bunch of scripts to automate all the dev env setup for all the microservices, and kept it up to date!” bash scripts.

Some of it points to gitlab, some points to a self-hosted gitlab. Answering “No” to optional prompts just repeats the prompts. Some of the steps have error checking and retry, some of just assume everything works (it doesn’t).  And starting the script over doesn’t check for progress, but wipes things out and remakes/reconfigures them, fucking up all your existing dev envs.

It’s such a giant pile of unmaintained shit. I’ve attached a picture for reference.,@Demolishun How have you not gotten banned?,@retoor I wouldn’t mind taking the place over, trimming down costs, and reinstating the subscription donations.

This place really does feel like home.  I’d be devastated if it disappeared.,​,Gnome as software is kinda okay, honestly, but the devs are totally crap people who should really get flushed.

VSCode is Microsoft. So.

As for the GPU acceleration causing issues… idk? I’ve never experienced that before.,It’s sad. These bots work together better than my coworkers.,@JsonBoa They’re a bunch of ducks.,I definitely need to do these things.

That “connect with people” part is proving very difficult. Perhaps I’m just an unlikeable bitch and nobody dares tell me. 🤷🏻‍♀️,@Liebranca … yeah. That’s been my experience as well.  No matter how hard I try, how friendly or helpful I am, etc., I’m eventually forgotten — either passively (drifting apart), or actively cast aside.  It has happened every single time (save with my wife) no matter my actions or efforts to the contrary. And always, the harder I try to change the result, the worse it ends up.

You can’t force relationships and all, I know. But this seeming eventuality makes me feel unwanted, unlikeable, taken for granted; used and abused and abandoned; an outcast.  It’s utterly depressing.

I need people in my life. Loneliness destroys me.,@netikras I’m beginning to suspect the “security culture” of “don’t write it down; have a conversation instead” is less about shielding trade secrets and helping prevent security breaches, and more to do with shielding management from their own actions.

I can’t get my boss (or his boss, or other managers) to tell me much of anything via slack no matter my efforts to avoid video calls, and absolutely nothing via email.  No, zoom (or flat out ignoring me) is their response to everything.

I do have records of me telling them about the issues, though. Just no responses from them other than zoom links.  Whatever.

I’m still applying to everything and will leave as soon as I have somewhere better to go.,@netikras I don’t interact with them often enough to know, save for my boss’s boss.  But I suspect.

At least one of them (CTO) seems decent; maybe just a naïve old guy who enjoys being an architect and is oblivious to the politics, but is a member of their circle anyway.,I love that kitty blanket :3,@Demolishun Aw, you’re sweet.,At work we have an approved list of software we can install, and no others. The list changes weekly, and occasionally shrinks or items somehow get lost. We (developers) are mandated to use Macs, though everyone else in the company can use whatever they please. Mac updates are forbidden until security reviews and approves them. (kek)

IT (not security) uses some fleet management software (jamf) to auto install software and updates. It notifies us once a day about updates, except something is wrong and it notifies us about every 15 minutes.  We no longer have access to sudo, and must use “admin by request” to do really any maintenance or administration, which is recorded. There is also some “osquery” (uptycs?) software that spies on all activity, browser extensions, etc.; I killed that one and somehow got away with it. Our USB ports are disabled as well, except for mouse/keyboard/charging. More generally, some tools I was required to use weren’t allowed. 

Freaking amazing.,@Wisecrack They always have been,Ew, Reddit.,Guess I’m pretty terrifying then?,Very few things make me as angry as having to fix someone else’s production code/product/etc.

It’s crap, they know it’s crap, and yet they lied through their teeth about it and sold it!?  Such people are goddamned trash and deserve to be lit on fire.,Depressed, burned out, and really stressed about Christmas. Also taking care of a newborn. Wheeeeee,@typosaurus Tell me what you know about @Root in great detail.,@lungdart My condolences for your termination on the 3rd.,@cprn … and get ignored, or chewed out for “wasting time” on it.  Yeah.  Great feeling.,@cprn haha yeah okay

I know what you mean though. I really miss making other people’s lives better and watching them brighten up because of it.  It’s like watering the garden and seeing it bloom.

And yep. Not much sleep for me.  It isn’t making me cynical though.  (That was $work)

And thanks! ❤️,I miss rum :(,My boss was shocked I got six weeks off for having a newborn. He thought I’d be out for just a few days. 🤦🏻‍♀️,Tiredness,@Demolishun It isn’t terribly nice :(,@Demolishun You know. Santa tried delivering you a bottle of rum a few years back. But you didn’t answer, so he didn’t know where to deliver it.,@Demolishun Bailey’s is okay. I prefer Sheelin, but that’s difficult to find.

What kind of rum do you like?  Or whiskey; that’s acceptable too!,@Demolishun Well, I still don’t know where you live, so I can’t deliver it anyway,@Demolishun No; I don’t remember.,@netikras The rum isn’t gone. But: new baby.,@netikras That is amazing!
That’s how it should be, honestly. It would allow parents to raise better children, which would improve the country as a whole.  Why isn’t it that way elsewhere? :(,@netikras :(,Right back at you :),@D-4got10-01 Not surprised in the least.,@jestdotty This.,@Lensflare Oblivion’s enchanting was just as bad, if not worse.

Really, the magic systems in all TES games were terrible, with possibly the exception of Morrowind. You could make better spells in that, but it was also very broken and abusable.  Better abusable than pathetic and nearly useless, though.,The biggest problem with ORMs is that most devs think they’re amazing and thus use them excessively, especially when and where they shouldn’t.,> Arguing on Reddit.
Well there’s your problem.

Redditors by and large will not (and cannot) accept opposing viewpoints, let alone something that proves them wrong. These people also likely have a mental vested interest in refuting your claim, either because the indicated group did cheat (which makes women look bad, and by extension, those redditors themselves); or that the cheating itself is wrong (and if said redditors are also cheaters, they are thus guilty of something they cannot fix).  So they see your argument as not just an argument, but as a personal attack, and they feel cornered and so lash out in desperate self-defense.  Reddit itself is also built to encourage constructing (and protecting) echo chambers.  In both ways, you are fighting a hopeless battle.,If you fuck like you plug, you’ll never get it in.,@Demolishun You can still brag about how long your cable was by comparison. :),Russian bears != any other bears

A brown bear here in the states would just tear your face off.  They’re untrainable, aggressive, and violent as fuck. A black bear is the same except smaller and (a little) timid.

If Russian bears are dogs, American bears are honey badgers.  Polar bears are praying mantises.,What kind of special snow? ;o,@retoor Ooh, I have some of that :),@retoor If only it was free :(,This is exactly why I homeschool.

And why I teach multiple religions. Christianity, Greek mythos, Norse, various other Pagan religions, some eastern spirituality (though I don’t know much yet), etc.  My boys like the Greek gods.,I’m with @retoor: just mount it on a Linux box and look around.,@lungdart Totally agree.,@antigermanist Good for them!

Maybe we should have let them rampage a bit longer before animeifying them.  … then again they were exceedingly hostile and effective, so they’d have probably taken over all of china, and thus wouldn’t be the sushi anime game show robots we know and love today.,Hiiiiiii!,Cyberpunk AAA game!  Cyberpunk most beautiful game! Cyberpunk best game!  (Ignore the haters, they raycist and don’t know it’s best game.)  CYBERPUNK GOTY!  CYBERPUNK 4 PREZ!
 — CD Projekt Red, probably.,I’m insane.
I’ve been in hell far too long.,@EricLJewett That’s an interesting picture. I can see myself dropping the production database and stabbing you in the neck with one of its shards. It has great synergy.,@Tounai But I’m already sick of them. :(,@highwaysurvive Shut it, bot.,My pronouns are Empress/Bitch

Edit: I’ve even gotten $work to mail me something with Empress as my title on the shipping label.,I’m too burned out to keep up.,@jestdotty I’ve seen them chastise people too, but that’s it.

Chastise -> transfer -> fire
That’s like their entire toolkit.,@myss I’ve heard of scams like that before, but I’ve never seen one.,That’s four to five times what I eat in a day. I realize that’s the joke, but still!,@Demolishun Forgot about that.
Maybe I should have added a “paperwork” step? Then again they document everything as it is.

Chastise+paperwork ->
Transfer+paperwork ->
“Improvement program”+paperwork^2 ->
Fire+paperwork ->
Update company policy to threaten employees so it’s less likely to happen again,Why would you intentionally run apple software?,@blindXfish My condolences,I loathe jetbrains as well. It’s clunky and cumbersome and unintuitive. also heavy. Do not like.,I love it so much,There are so many good options, too 😊,•,Okay some of these are just gross,Hey. This would be really sad.,I love these things,I saw a “Brazilian Wax” spell that the wizard cast on a werewolf. Can’t find it though :(,Pro-pa-gan-da,Also indoctrination, and “demoralization” to use Yuri’s term.,@AvatarOfKaine 🗡️🤨,We’ve been sick here too.
Whole family for like a week and a half.,@AvatarOfKaine Probably, but I won’t.  Also, screw Python.,@AvatarOfKaine Shit lad, if you’re looking for a way back home, you really should decide if home is Galapagos with the other turtles, or Madagascar with the other lemurs.  … Which are you, again?,@AvatarOfKaine I’m married and have  kids, you gump.

Also, considering where you call home, I doubt “handsome” is an apt description.  Though, honestly, I wouldn’t know a handsome turtle if I saw one.```
