The name is an insult to the people who write software for vibrators.

This is probably the worst one. Exploiting the generosity of others is disgusting.

Probably broken or ultra low quality

You can raise children while both parents are working. Billions of families do it every day. Especially if you also get rid of the notion that raising children is mostly a mother's job while the father is free to drink beer and watch TV after work.

Lentil soup is my favourite

  1. Lentils (any colour)
  2. Diced carrot
  3. Diced celery
  4. Diced onion
  5. Half a diced sweet potato

Chili mac is also really good

  1. Macaroni
  2. Can of crushed or diced tomatoes (or marinara sauce if you prefer)
  3. Ground beef or your vegan alternative of choice
  4. Taco seasoning
  5. Chili powder to taste

Microsoft Surface.

In no particular order:

The Al Cantera keyboard cover stated delaminating and the top layer started peeling off just from the friction of resting your hands on it. Started happening within months of getting it.

Battery failed after just a few years of daily use, I'm talking completely refused to charge, you unplug the charger even after leaving it in overnight and the screen goes black instantly. And while most laptops can run just fine with a dead battery as long as you keep it plugged in at all times, not the Surface. The little magnetic connector supplies so little power that the device is forced to down clock to below 1 GHz to keep from shutting down due to undercurrent. And sometimes it shuts down anyway because fuck you.

It's also glued so tight, and the front glass is so thin, that you basically can't open it without destroying the screen in the process.

Also, the magnetic charge connector started having contact issues around the same time the battery was starting to fail, so the moment you bump it, it disconnects and causes the device to turn off. It also just refuses to connect half the time when you plug it in. Gotta jiggle it, blow into it, shake and hit it a bunch of times, and pray. I'm pretty sure it's the tablet's side that's the problem because changing chargers did nothing, and the charger that came with the problem tablet worked fine on another Surface. Gotta love when companies make the fragile part of the connector apart of the $2000 device that's sealed shut with glue and put the more robust part on the cheap and easily replaceable charger.

It's also really bad at going to sleep. Way too many times I've closed it, put it in my bag, and when I take it out it's scalding hot and the battery is nearly drained. It's your own device Microsoft, running 100% your own software. How the hell do you fuck it up?!

Worst. Tablet. EVER. And probably ruined any potential that laptop-replacement tablets once had, which is a shame because I still like the tablet form factor.

I'd like to thank America for its continued efforts to destroy American empire

Where app data is stored.

~/.local

~/.config

~/.var

~/.appname

Sometimes more than one place for the same program

Pick one and stop cluttering my home directory

 

I used to hate web frontend development. But now I'm realising I just hate JavaScript. Python is also interpreted meaning it can be hosted in a sandbox, also dymically typed, has dicts which baiscally use JSON syntax, supports multiple paradigms, etc. Instead of a language whose creators probably said "let's make this language we named after Java a million times worse than Java"

 

On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

 

 

Internet connected cars is the worst tech "innivation" since internet connected thermostats.

🖕 Fuck PayPal

And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.

 

He speaks like a cartoon villain in a kid's TV show yet thinks it's everyone else who needs to grow the hell up.

EDIT: APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT A REAL TWEET. I fell for it and reposted it, sorry for the misinformation!
