jestdotty said don't hack hungry, guys,Modern technology is absolutely bullshit

I can't even

Now my keyboard on my phone is even too broken to complain about it

I wanted to look at someone's post history on a forum

To do so the forum wants an account. Ok. So I gave it my old junk Hotmail account during sign up for it to send me an email confirm so I can make the account so I can search. Well I'm refreshing this account for this confirm account email through the Gmail app on my phone because who even checks emails on computers anymore

Turns out, aside from this Hotmail spam email account having a lot of junk emails (it is my junk email account), there's this little pop-up that happens SOMETIMES claiming that it can't sync. I checked inbox and spam and the email isn't in there. So 1 out of 10 times I refresh there's this little "cannot sync" message that pops up and I click it. It claims my storage on my phone is too full to sync. Ok.

So I go try to find storage through the settings in my phone. It doesn't exist as a category anymore apparently. Thankfully phones have a search feature now -- because we can't have sane settings anymore so here's a search feature. First result it gives me is just device info. That's useless. It's just the hardware specs for my phone

Second it shows storage. 90% full apparently. That's odd. I have 132 gb. Thankfully it subdivided it by what's taking up space but it doesn't make much sense and a bunch of the categories don't open to anything

Apparently the fucking android operating system is 32 GB now? Well you're fucked if you wanna remove that. Apparently years of photos and videos is 20 gb, I can back those up and delete them. Similarly I have downloads in folders, and that's about 20 gb

Why are there 20 GB of apps? I literally have no apps!

Part of apps? Wtf is Gboard and why is it a gig

Why is my WEATHER APP using a gig of storage?

And none of the apps can I remove the storage they're using. The cache is like 600kb, and I can delete all data and it's using like 60 MB. So the fucking weather app executable itself is a gig of space? Wtf?

I deleted the data for Gboard and turns out that's the keyboard. So now all my keyboard settings are fucked.

Thankfully I wrote syncing scripts ages ago to sync various folders from my phone to my external HDD. I just had to connect it to the laptop and run the script on the external HDD. Problem? Well turns out no matter what I do I can't get the laptop to connect to the phone if it's USB file transfer mode. I can do photos. But this is gonna be more than photos.

So I do my sync backup script from the laptop to the external HDD. This will sync the camera, since I have sync thing sync my laptop and phone all the time, so I can just sync the laptop to the external HDD and then delete the older photos and get 20gb. Quick fix for now

Why do I need this quick fix?
Well
Get this
I've been having issues with my Gmail client for ages. It just won't display new email notifications which is really annoying because I need to know when emails get sent to me.
Now I'm thinking, maybe I can de-sync older emails and have more storage space maybe? But that's not an option anywhere. Actually, I can't even unconnect an email address from my phone. Gmail doesn't even let you do that

What the flying fuck is the state of modern technology

Now I have to go figure out what my fucking settings were for my stupid phone keyboard

The 90s were much fucking saner than this garbage. I don't need a 32 GB operating system on a phone. Is this fucking windows 8? And let me fucking tell YOU how many fucking emails you should sync to my phone. Holy shit what the fuck is all this

At least my Linux scripts fucking work like I wrote them,if AI is so smart why doesn't it clean its own data, eh?!,I just want things to do on my phone that are intellectually going to be stimulating

and not brainwashing

is that so hard to ask for

I can't keep playing sudokus all the time. the other day I wanted to go read a coding answer I asked an AI in my browser on my laptop but I was in bed on a voice chat with a sleeping person and didn't wanna get up out of bed to go fetch the laptop. my browser lets me see tabs I have open on other machines and this AI website makes a url with a unique id so you can browse to the chat you had, but it seems to not always work

earlier in the day I had asked the AI a theoretical coding question and it answered, but I got distracted and needed to go do something before I finished reading it (it was long). but when I was in bed on my phone playing sudokus for intellectual stimulation, annoyed and bored it was the only thing I could do, I had the bright idea of opening the tab on my laptop through my phone. Vivaldi is great and this always works. unfortunately the AI website's unique id thing doesn't. it loaded the website by URL correctly but the AI website just took me to the home page and I had no chat history to read =[

phones are literally computers but you can't do anything on them. can't watch videos without ads or bugs, if you load a lot of websites the tab management system sucks and performance is shit, controls for games suck even if you could find something not ad infested

hell you can't even do a pedometer that's not trying to get you to "log in". bruh

you can't even browse GitHub code! at least last I checked. it's just awkward, their app

I feel like I'm in a straitjacket in terms of technology and I wanna scream. I don't even know how to adequately describe my frustration or what I keep wishing for. it's been prominent in my head a couple years now. it's like we're regressing in terms of compatibility. went from card games provided by Microsoft like solitaire and spider, paint... to Jesus fuck you can't even get paint in a browser now without someone trying to fleece you

remember when things were inventive, nice, and not shit?
I don't even like playing mindustry on a phone to be fair. fighting the controls is most of the experience. so maybe phones are only good for reading things

I just noticed my brain over time doing sudokus learns  so I wanted to practice engaging in something and learning as exercise, cuz I think it would be good for the brain damage. bah,are there people that when you hang around them make you better in some way? which way and how?,it's suuuper strange to see the world being run from fucking twitter

Russia huffing and puffing because Biden authorized Ukraine to use USA long range missile into Russian soil, and trump and his new cabinet are discussing how Biden and the Democrats are suicidal and scrambling debating about it all

just sooooo weird

and you just see posts of them like a damned entourage. like some frat house of billionaires traveling around the country to wrestling matches and having breakfast together and the weird story about Elon musk couch surfing on Trump's couch too much and the staff not liking him bossing them around. this is like a teen drama but it's your next government

lmao,I really want an AI that codes like me so I don't have to

tired of asking AI to brainstorm ideas but it keeps solving things stupid

please, get with the program. learn my style. it's better. stop shoving your style at me. neck yourself (I can say this right? it's funny and AI has no necks anyway! dark humor funny 🥺, but illegal merchandise 😔)

*coffee rage*

guess I'll have to use my own brain because it's literally less frustrating than reading its drivel that it keeps messing up despite me saying corrections a billion times. and this is one of the SMARTER AIs. eesh

guys can you make the tools better already. *taps foot*,*edits CSS on website with dev console to make it usable*

your website is bad and you should feel bad. Inb4 I setup some kind of persistent script for this website in particular. Probably gonna be a necessary quality of life thing now that nobody can seemingly write any competent software anymore.,I asked why the lefties associate pepe with hatespeech and someone sent me this: https://youtube.com/watch/...
I'm somehow more confused

awwww this is cute: https://youtube.com/watch/...

is the world being run by 4chan now
I think it might be,tried to pick some smart dude's brain about my problem cuz I'm just screaming internally being unable to think about it myself and have no ability to write it out in pseudocode without confusing myself or on paper so I need someone to bounce around with this

proceed to have to teach him basics of how computers work...

... realize he's slow at it and that I know a lot

I will take this self-compliment. I might be on a journey of self-compliments now, since he actually wanted to learn to code for a while. not a bad potential reality tunnel actually. I guess this is ok

guess I'll just keep screaming internally about my problem until I birth the requisite neurons automagically. no pain no gain 😭
literally no clue how to think or plan stuff out without having to put the whole thing in my head. always been a problem for me. grrrrr,FOIA shmoya,I swear low serotonin depression is a superpower

I don't know how but it's always just somehow really awesome for my brain

and before I equally didn't want to get up out of bed so basically no difference between being happy or depressed, functionally!

I think depression makes me think better actually

if you're mentally lazy, just get depressed! BRAIN TREADMILL!,wish AIs were good at rust, borrowing rules, and async 😫

is it possible to have a impl of async &mut self on something that's gonna thread and update its own data via Arc Mutex or whatever or not

stop making syntax errors

guide pls

nobody uses rust, I swear. or at least they just do basic bitch "beginner" apps. please. get with the times and actually do something meaningful that's not picture perfect theoretical exercises. how come no one's RNG tested every feature against every other feature? where's your chaos monkey. the world is chaos! get with the times!

it would be nice if I stick this on the instance as a method but it _might actually never work_ if I try that so I don't wanna spend 3 days wrangling with the code to figure that out when I have a perfectly good dangling independent helper function in a random package here. gosh darnit

also apparently the only way to get something out of a Arc Murex is to clone it. but the API / usability of the thing would be exactly the same whether it was wrapped in Arc Murex or not. so it's like. if it was in Arc Mutex and you wanna use it in other parts of your app that aren't using multithreading in any way, are you just changing all the function signatures to Arc Mutex or are you cloning to get it back out? uegh I don't even. what if I mutex lock and just put that in the signatures (can I even? because I've tried using weird intermediary objects as part of signatures and then I get in trouble there too cuz arbitrarily the answer is "no" because some generic system limitation)? why all of this

May as well learn hieroglyphics but with French/English grammar exception rules on the side. yo dawg we heard you hate human languages with all their exceptions so we made programming languages the same way,https://youtube.com/watch/...

color makes us hungry,
hungry makes us human,I Ctrl + z'ed in a file in vscode and it _literally rolled back other files_ what the fuck?

who the fuck thought this was a good idea? wtf

AND THEN I CHANGED STUFF THINKING IT WAS ONLY THIS FILE SO NOW WHAT

WHO DESIGNED THIS

WHO WANTS THIS

WHAT,I have 6 different caching folders now

because rust path resolution, depending where you launch from.. if it's debug or test or vscode or command line... or what directory were you in in the command line?!

well it decides to resolve the location differently

and how is it nobody thought this was ridiculous,what criteria do you use to determine if someone is a friend of yours?,coffee coffee coffee

all praise be to the coffee god

I wake up at best at 2 pm. I have my one meal at 5-7pm. in reality I wake up at 4pm or 5 pm generally

I am now
going to drink coffee at 5pm and then make a giant dinner
and see how it goes
and if life is better this way

civilization smizivilizations

(and then do midnight cleaning)
am I insane? or is it this insane world trying to make us like one of THEM driving us crazy?!,the AIs are reaaaalllly heavily degrading now

now they're hallucinating their own changes to code that they didn't even do

what happened during the bing AI era also. once all the hype was gone suddenly the output degraded. all very strange why it would do that

of course nobody knows how they built their AIs. they just throw things at it and if it increases accuracy of results then that's what they do, but there's no methodology to the madness of building these things. so maybe the devs are just changing random parameters to try to keep up with management's asks but instead they degrade the accuracy of the results over time,I want to stdout a bunch of logging data

but also create a HUD over it

evidently not an easy task

so let's say you have libraries you made that print logs to stdout
well they would mess up the terminal output...
and then I guess you have to capture what they're trying to print and process it differently

annoying

no easy way to convert logging apps to terminal HUDs I guess

it has to be designed as a terminal app to begin with

ueeegghhh,an actually valid critique of AI: https://stacker.news/items/788287

aka, woke era will end and the software companies don't matter,how would you guess where any next number is? it's not deterministic 🤔

you'll always have 4 potential spots for each of them with no tie breaker,effort is a lie,it's snowed 😊,turns out avoiding JavaScript makes you live three times as long : https://boehs.org/node/...,it's like someone invented government bureaucracy for no reason at all https://github.com/Rabbival/...

what am I even reading,has science gone too far https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/301...,freud was all like, dreams are about your subconscious talking to you

woo-woo circles go further, and it's basically the universe telling you what you need to know. to quote some stoner I met once, "if you dream, you're a shaman"

this morning I had a dream that I was in high school and Oprah Winfry was sitting on some cushions on the floor with her girlfriends. she said she got sick but then took this thing and it amazingly made all her sickness go away, expressing how surprisingly easy it was before her whole group got situated into their official girltalk. I asked her something cryptic and inoffensive (forget now, was deliberately not trying to get political though) and she cold shouldered me, nose up in the air and all her girlfriends followed suite

in the dream then I remembered I had this stuff in my locker and told myself to try it when I get to it

... then I woke up and in reality I bought this thing ages ago and it's in one of my cabinets. ate it and dream Oprah Winfrey maybe was right. message received I guess

now I'm taking medical advice from spirits of my enemies, I guess?,think I'm starting to get why the c/c++ people are all crazy

I wanted to upgrade something so I wrote it then had to plug in the new version in 7 different crates. cool well after dozens of different file changes I found like 3 bugs and figured hey ok maybe some small edge case bug fixes and now I'm just frustrated because nothing is working and also did I mention I have like 3 deprecated crates but I haven't had a moment to rest to deprecate them fully and remove them and it's all massively annoying me

I keep just rewriting things because it's easier than changing the static typing system everywhere, but no matter what I do I just end up in more changing of the static typing system, repeat

I think I might just end at a non working codebase and lock myself up for 3 days and take some drugs and see what happens until either I pass out from lack of sleep and wake up not caring, someone finds me and takes me away, or I finally have a working product

things can't be done in chunks I guess

cuz if it works in isolation then you stress test it and it works then you plug it into the live system and heyyo look it doesn't because you didn't stress test these edge cases enough and now everything is broken and who wants to revert like 2 hours of stupid secretary work because StATiC TyPe SysTeM. so what my stress tests need to be the live system? and speaking of tests I keep have to go back to older tests and keep updating them every time the damned static type system updates so I don't want more tests

the irony in all this is suddenly for once in my life I had this funny thought of "whoa, remember when people said coding wasn't for them?". I mean if I keep shooting myself in the foot does end up feeling like a me problem. I still think like a damned computer though. literally the thing i've always been best at so I'm just laughing at the ridiculousness

(maybe it's the brain damage, let's be fair to myself)

wanted to watch a horror movie with the bf for a few days and the guy is a narcoleptic. told him I wanted to today but now look at me, I wanna lock myself in a room until I solve my disaster so how am I supposed to enjoy a movie, and do I just ditch what I'm doing and hope I give a shit later or do I blow him off? fuuuuck why,the rate at which the Internet is becoming weird is accelerating

it is about to be monumentally recursively weirder but on a multithreading and transcending basis

https://youtube.com/watch/...
AI is now effecting the collective consciousness of society, whoopsie doopsie, through "old-age" mechanisms humans built like over a decade ago. at some point it'll be able to leverage these mechanisms faster than humans can plug up the holes. just kidding humans are pretty slow and I don't think we even have the chance

I do like the idea of fakeness ending. I've always found it so suffocating. now AI delivers fakeness to the people who like fakeness. they can become their own little bubble until they run out of credits,what if it was dev something but not the energy of complaining,but programming

and first slot is office,ohno I think I'm finding things rust is easier and better at than JavaScript now that I'm back on javacript

the calamity!

granted I can get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time,missing rust's infinite loops in other languages now

also now I don't like variable++ and it throws me off

also missing iterators. because you can consume part of them and don't have to keep track that some of a list has already been "used up" so to speak. now I have index counters and laaame (granted not having to wrestle with borrowing rules... actually just strangely feels weird)

also why must languages have different naming conventions. this is a disaster now because my reflexes for what I name variables is all over the place. now I find snake_case more readable than camelCase because the letters are the same height so you can skim for names easier, and by how many words which correlates to how specific a variable is to the logical loops at hand

I guess end of the day we just develop a handwriting style in code our brains like and the idea of having to change your accent every time you switch a locale sounds annoying,autoformat is good I think

now instead of making the code "look nice" I make the logic of the code look nice and just press autoformat

and you don't have to press all the stupid space characters or decide when to newline chaining functioning or whatever else. just write it dirty and press format

as much as I love how I optimized my JavaScript syntax over the years, it was pretty distracting. it's like I was moving in and nesting or something. urgh why. bikeshedding. I mean yes, it's all nice and cozy, but you also could've done literally anything else with your time

originally I was a fan of autoformat in theory because I had some issues with co-workers fighting over syntax -- like literally one guy would write stuff so bad it was like it was put through an uglifier. he would put keywords in unexpected locations and that language in particular allowed it (interestingly rust doesn't and I frequently can't recall what order the keywords are supposed to go in lol), which if you were debugging his code now you've gotta squint for all those keywords and you're going to be slower because you can't just skim the whole thing. and over there in reddit land people are complaining when people use i and j variables instead lol. he used g and k and they weren't even for loops and that wasn't even the issue 🤣, he wrote like 12 statements per line and condensed 500 statements into 30 and you can't parse a thing and no this wasn't javascript,so turns out you don't need to know what the problem is to solve it =-=

what the fuck

I don't think I like this
... and also by solving the problem I have a feeling eventually you'll know what the earlier problem was. this is creeping me out

why is the universe making up these weird rules. I'm getting my worldview shattered,what do I do with 100% dark chocolate

turns out it's entirely inedible. I can't stomach it

now what,it's crazy how every week every damned app needs to update

it's like just why

I'm sure your button 3 pixels to the left isn't that important

all these poor auto-updaters running all the time

imagine the carbon we're arbitrarily making like alchemists out of thin air! if only we used this great power to transmutate lead into gold,what are you not allowed to do?,if sulfur makes you alive again r u a demon

and other [REDACTED] behind the veiled curtains of the construct we call reality,every time my brain's functionality perks up even a little bit and I regain some functionality I used to have I literally end up insatiably spiraling through the new abilities and God complex all over the place

if you were a god, what kind of god would you be?,I still can't imagine a programmer genuinely getting something out of writing tests

like are you even writing software you'd use if you're writing tests?

I can't be sure of its buglessness unless I can put the whole thing in my head and rapid bounce ideas at the construct. writing all those out into code would be exhausting / neurotically excessive and ultimately an unmaintainable mess

and otherwise I can't think of any use for tests other than that they can be used to document the specs, which if you're working on your own code and not in a corporate team isn't that big of a problem,whoops figured out how to make noises in rust

and also what the hell I forgot all the music theory I taught myself and making music is hard

yeah my brain can't do math yet. just counting the frequencies for the notes is exhausting. or timing things. EXHAUSTING. I haven't even got them right I was just doing proof of theory. and I'm exhausted

*goes to die somewhere*,wish there were c/c++-like forums and communities but for rust

such a dead gen z language goddamn,what I want is for AI to spot logical inconsistencies in my code and debug it

specifically a complex multi threaded form...

raaghhh

stupid tokio having no damned mutex debug tools,why structs/objects when can tuples everything,who's on top, who's on second,if I figured it out before how could I delete it?!

what if I don't figure it out again?!,so weird not to have my code crash...

before I'd check it every few hours and reboot if it has crashed

but now I check and it's just churning along

the bug was easy to fix once my brain cleared some,tongs are like tongues but without a you,been trying to figure out why I can't eat paprika for ages

so turns out there's something called ethoxyquin in it

> quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative
> Ethoxyquin was initially registered as a pesticide in 1965
??? concerning....

>  food additive to use only in the spices chili powder, paprika, and ground chili.
... they feed it to salmon and chickens also...

FDA is like, "it's fine", the swiss decided to test fish that ate this stuff:
> loss of weight, changes in liver, kidney, alimentary duct, urinary bladder and mitochondria, anemia, lethargy, discolored urine, skin, or fur, increase in mortality, detrimental effect on immunity, condition factor of final body weight in relation to body length of fish and inducement of allergies (contact exposure)
the europeans:
> found one of its metabolites, ethoxyquin quinone imine, to be possibly genotoxic, and p-phenetidine, an impurity that could be present from the manufacturing process, to be possibly mutagenic

i rather my food was edible for at least a limited amount of time, instead of inedible at all times

I hate being sick. Everything I eat I feel, because everything you can eat is literally poison and I'm "sick enough" that I can feel it so drive myself fucking crazy. I have 2 other paprikas, one doesn't list this as an ingredient and the other has no ingredients list, so I guess let's see if I can actually eat paprika or am going to keep giving myself, I guess, organ damage and possibly cancer

remember kids, some places are banning charcoal because it could cause cancer. Those same places are feeding this to animals and putting them in spices though

stalin was right. You should be paranoid what you're being fed. And starve to death. At least you'll be able to think for a while,what can't not happen?,do you separate the mechanics and functionality of software from the people in the community?

is there tools you love the functionality of but hate the community of, and vice versa?

were there tools you loved where the community ruined it for you, or tools you hated to use but the community won you over?

companies where you loved the software and hated the people or vice-versa?,I want to bookmark a set of open tabs in vscode

and then switch between different bookmarks
