Why don't scientists trust atoms?

Because they make up everything!

What vscode theme describes you?

It's 10:30 at night, you have had two large glasses of wine, and its time to "play the shit outa minecraft!"...

I don’t know why it annoys me so much but writing the date the wrong way is fucking ridiculous America! It’s Day fucking month fucking Year imbeciles!

Samsung introduced a useful feature to their smartphones just to cripple it one year later.

In 2015, Samsung introduced camera quick launch to their Galaxy S6, where the camera could be accessed by double-pressing the home button. Before that, the double press accessed the far less useful S Voice.

A year later, with their Android 6.0 update and the phones that had Android 6.0 pre-installed (starting with the Galaxy S7), they ruined it with a useless "Camera has been opened via quick launch" pop-up that would appear if the camera app detects that the phone is in the pocket. This was detected using the front and rear proximity sensors.

If this useless pop-up was closed with the "back" key or by tapping the background behind the pop-up or by doing nothing for five seconds, the camera application would close itself. It would only stay open if the user tapped the tiny little "OK" button that could easily be missed in a crucial moment.

This made it impossible to blindly launch the camera while the phone is still inside the pocket, defeating one of the greatest benefits of the feature. And closing that pop-up takes time that could lead to a moment being missed by the camera.

Additionally, Samsung introduced a bug in Android 6.0 where launching the camera within seconds of going into stand-by mode would cause it to exit automatically after a few seconds.

Productivity hack - For me, it’s mostly a single word - planning. I wasn’t always good at it, definitely not yet a “master” of it, but breaking that proverbial elephant up into smaller pieces, and organizing a plan of action for dealing with them is the #1 productivity “hack” for me. Sorry that it’s not an actual shortcut, or anything…I personally don’t believe in those anymore. Complementary habits to this are thoroughly commenting code, having descriptive commit messages, file names, and variable names, maintaining documentation. Use that Readme.md. This is true of any project, even if I’m the only developer - never underestimate your own ability to totally forget shit.

Losing track of date and time coz of them kids

i dont like rust anymore

Guys how do you access samba from your android phones? any genuine app? there was one by Google but they removed it from the play store

My watch gives me periodic reminders to stand up.

I just so happened to be on the crapper at the time. I had just come to the conclusion of my business and before I could, it reminded me to stand up.

For a split second, I was like, man this thing really is living my life for me.

Shit, are we already in February?

Why does Python get so much hate? It is literally like a Basic programming language. Easy to learn and guaranteed to get a job because of massive demand.

Helloo

Guys what's up with the irrational societal taboo about human cloning? Biggot-in-chief Bush wanted to pass some anti-abortion law bullcrap and we just followed suit?

I want to clone myself, I don't see what's wrong with that. People do it naturally all the time, how are they better?

There is a societal INJUNCTION to be in a relationship and if you're not, you are discriminated against.

You will own nothing and you will be rabbi.

fuck batteries. I'm going wired everything.

Why broken stuff is allowed through the door?

My Ubuntu, my Bluetooth headsets, Jira, my latest Google pixel, eCommerce shop where I purchase stuff everything lately seem to be full of bugs.

It seems like nobody cares about the quality of software pushed to production. Everyone is so quick to push those tickets into "released".

Fuck you, managers, shareholders, scrum masters, seniors who push developers to do stuff quickly rather than correctly.

How long do you think it'll take before ChatGPT is used for / accused of election manipulation or other mass deception?
