Congrats to everyone on devrant!!!
YOU WON "THE GAME"!!!

The amount of times that I accidentally open the original devRant app and thus get an error is too damn high.

I'm eating my own dogfood and I'm quite happy with rantii, it has a low amount of bugs. It forgets what you've upvoted, the notifications show [object, object] instead of ranter name. It has only one message type (rant) while posting. It misses reply feature. It doesn't do mentions. The urls are incomplete for the website preview, long urls fail.

So few bugs, few missing features. Working on something else in between and need a milestone there before going back working on this. Anyone else using it btw? I see skyrant down too. I guess that rantii is the best option for android now then. Development time was only two hours, not bad. If anyone has some request to add or change, let me know, I'll add it to to do list. Like always open source.

What do we think about the fight between UK and 4chan?

While is find 4chan a terrible site, I vouch for them. Fuck off with your stupid rules.

But it's simple right, if they don't comply just block the site?

They can't force 4chan for sure, but then they have to block them.

So, I do not agree that UK is attacking the freedom of speech in America like Lunduke says; in America they can still do what they want.

If you want to drive on the roads there, you need to comply with the rules there.

But fuck UK for wanting it in general.

Funny that Americans think there's more freedom of speech there than here. But maybe not so funny in the future. We're under attack.

Picture of an EXTREMELY early stage of an android devRant client (since the official one no longer works due to the certificate expiration).
Threw this in just a few hours so it's super bare bones and just a proof of concept for myself currently, there is no APK, this isn't even an alpha.
I absolutely do not have time for fun projects so I can't promise anything time wise, if I'll have time I'll try to make it at least usable enough for an alpha build to send here on the next weekend.
(Perhaps will even find an hour or two here or there in the middle of the week)

I sincerely appologize for my lack of time, I would've absolutely loved to start this earlier, and to finish a MVP for y'all (and myself) to use as soon as possible.

Currently it uses 'dr.molodetz.nl' as a "quick and easy" solution for the certificate thingy (so know that data and credentials move through a "thrid-party"), but once I'm having an app that is usable (minimally) I'm planning to switch back to devrant.com but with certificate pinning.

P.S. If anybody has got any tips or advice for android development, write in the comments, I would appreciate anything because I fucking HATE android development and it makes me feel like a monkey smashing a computer with a wrench hoping shit will work. Not my first android app, but even though I've made a few android apps in the past(real apps for actual use, not "template" apps for portfolio or for learning) I still feel like every tiny step is fighting against the framework instead of with it.

Do you guys know fishes? I was at the fishshop last time and I realized I didn't know what's what in fishes

I do too much cocain, I throw TV screens out of the window, trash hotel rooms, sleeps with underage girls and think I'm god

I'm a rockstar developer

This week, I got an email from my local college advertising some education possibilities that would take 75-150 hours depending on the course. One of them does interest me a lot but now I am wondering what it is better (offensive cybersecurity).

A) follow that course at that college (still WFH)
B) follow similar courses online, possibly cheaper but maybe less credentials on my CV/resume.

Judging by the duration, it's certainly not enough to do it professionally. But it will certainly make my resume stand out a bit more.

Our Big Brother stomped on our little sand castle and we are devastated!

We built a castle of sand—quick, accessible, a proof of concept.
It was for those still trapped in the old stone caves, a vision of better housing, faster.
​But our brother was the architect of stone. He held the monopoly on caves, and planned the slow future of stone castles.
He saw the attention our small, rapid success was stealing.The foot came down.

Our near-perfect sand castle was wrecked.
We are devastated. What do we do? What would you do?
​P.S.: We are software developers. We don't play with sand. Neither does my brother.
P.S.: Not my real brother.

Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.

i finally have a clear example of the proper usage of CharGPT!

(some shit came up but ill be posting some interesting stuff this week ;P )

WTF people! You are not providing the entertainment my trolling is intended to provide.

You, yeah you! Seriously, get bent out of shape when people post inflammatory shit...

Why do I even bother?

...sigh...

How are we doing today? deadRanters?

Started New job. Can't trust coworkers yet to rant with them. LinkedIn is too public. Too old for FB, X and Insta.

Came to devRant. They think I'm a spam bot 😒

anyone else ever finf it odd that ostream ( aks <alias-array>) is so against 'Germans' butbreally the main german he goes adfer is @Lensflare and hes also an apple admirer/dev/lover ...

like maybe ostream is just threatened by lensii? . ubknow cuz people actually likebhim, hes a good dev and ostream has the time and immaturity to keep up this crap endlessly for years? ibmean hes not even good at gaslighting.... despitre his best, constant efforts

Holy hell, aoc day 9 part 2 is diabolical!
Has anyone solved it and can give me a hint (not the solution)?

The naive approach would be to make an array with 100000^2 elements, or an image with that many pixels, but that's just too large.
There must be a smarter way.

For the android users that use https://rantii.molodetz.nl (I know three :P), it's now possible to block an user. You won't see any of their rants, comments or notificaitons anymore.

You can go to settings and enter the username yourself or go to their profile page and block them there.

Happy ranting!

So todays my bday, devrant still has no https cert,
i started playing Ultrakill (got it off from steamrip.com)

I continued to code a bit, ill make my engine good enough to have the speed of Quake and Ultrakill.

To all the people coming here to start some shit...

I salute your efforts! This place is better when people are saying petty shit to each other...in jest.

Sometimes this place reminds me of this song:

I mean, I come here to share and harass...

This work project is so annoying to work on. We are not making any meaningful process. There just needs to be more manpower on the project but there is a hiring freeze (makes sense since they expanded their IT team a lot the past year). Our backend developer is constantly working on different codebases. I'm constantly blocked by his work.

Found this japanese guy making fresh suchis in a very small stoll. They're delicious. Who knew japanese people would make the best suchis
