There was a time when Java 8 and React 16 were all the hype as if it were yesterday... and now we have Java 25...

The world of IT just moves way too fast. lol

How did we end up with such a bad convention for font weights?

Is thin thinner than light? Is regular thinner than medium? Is medium or regular the default? Is semibold thicker than medium? Is heavy thicker than bold? What about black? Why is it even named like a color? What the fuck is going on? Just use freaking numbers!

0 should be the default.
Negative numbers should mean thinner and positive numbers should mean thicker.

Son of a bitch. You can't have gaps in your CV or you are considered a red flag. Companies want good-working rats that never take breaks in life!

Sick of this shit.

I am livid and humans are just vile and disgusting beings

you know how much we say cortisol is stress and bad for you

it isn't. cortisol literally makes you unable to feel fear, it literally heals you. it STRICTLY does this. it is NOT the "stress" response

if peoples level of cortisol is high that's GOOD, not bad. they literally have more self control and their blood sugar levels are better and their brain is protected from the ACTUAL stress chemicals. your body releases cortisol to RECOVER from stress and to ensure you can remain sane and functional during high stress, like a well-trained combat soldier and shit

I just can't. humans are so disgusting. the cult of science is just vile. they just parrot each other and perform fucking rituals blindly, calling themselves high status and pretending they have the answers to everything when they're literally backwards. never do they analyze anything they say. they ignore all exceptions to their dogma. worse than any religion in the history of mankind

Next display server protocol proposal that would succeed Wayland has been just announced:

Every GUI elements require 3D graphics API and live ray tracing because it looks "cool" and "awesome".
Screen buffer won't get pushed to the display unless it's been perfectly ray traced, not missing every spot.

Users are required to enter their password everytime an application calls the drawing API to prevent unauthorized memory modification.

The mouse cursor is delayed about 10 seconds because the floaty feeling is the "future". It will also follow your hand movement with a 500ms interpolation curve to enhance elegantness.

beep boop. Is this thing still on? Hello, check, 123. Hello, check, 123

Annoying: when a friend asks you for help with a computer issue and then a few moments later solves it themselves.

JoyRant build 50.

I don’t know who else is still using JoyRant but according to TestFlight there are currently 73 users (wtf?!).

The new version doesn’t ignore the cert anymore because it’s been fixed.

And the new highlight is: auto-retry!
If a Slim Shady Error occurs, the app will retry up to 5 times until giving up and showing the error.

It’s really smooth again now. What a difference!

The retry feature is implemented on the SwiftDevRant SDK and is currently set to 5 by default.

@retoor if you want to use it, just update to the latest version 2.3.0
It’s better than just hiding the error because as a user you don’t need to manually repeat the request.

Have fun!

DevRant Slim Application Error

So will the real devrant please stand up
and put each one of those fingers on each hand up
please stand up
please stand up
(we're gonna have a problem here)

y'all act like you never seen a devrant before

'cause I'm Slim rant all you other Slim rants are just imitating so won't the real Slim rant please stand up,

lmao.

Don't you find it annoying when the dev team gives you the worst or less than absolute minimum of time to test a new release?

It's like... that itches with me so hard. Come on.. we're testing a build here. You want me to brush over this? The amount of bugs that might pop up...(oh yeah we just bill the client for those later lolololol)! Especially when no one wrote tests, or just minimal, I... sigh.

lol

Beep beep

Retoor is really refusing to let devrant die. At this point DR should be put out of his misery

Also have a wonderful 2026

365 days of bullshit

ah... devrant app is back. it's so cozy. totally different vibes 😋

I hate using well done libraries.
Yes, yes. Hear me out.
You need to learn how to use them, functions, variables, scripting language, etc etc!
God...
That's why I do my own.
Maybe I will do a CPU next? AMD 64 is hard syntax it ain't me...
Devant is better! Woohoo! Certificate and slim errors bye bye.

who wants kiki back???
i do! so view this as a petition to get kiki back... and protect kiki from any 'retoor' crap!

Gotta blame cloudflare!

How are we doing devRats?

What the actual fuck is Cloudflare doing forreal

i think i'm realizing I liked the act of programming but had no passion for software... or taking over the world like all those techbros

weirdly enough reading autobiography of benjamin franklin is making me connect weird things. Got any favourite old-timey books you found to be enlightening?

WOW, i'm the first!

Happy Christmas! May the source be with you 2026.

Jay Jesus!

Week: 119 (Year 3)

Oh yeah. We have stepped into the very last weekend of the year. How are you going to make it awesome?

Question: What are your 2026 resolutions?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19392896

I am actually downloading a Linux ISO using torrent.

This weekend (So, tonight and tomorrow, if I have the energy) I will be archiving my devRant data. I'll build my own tool which not only downloads rants, images, and comments, but also displays it in a readable (static HTML, if possible) format.

By next weekend or the following, I will be deleting my account. This is not due to drama, but due to the inactivity of the platform and the need to clean up my digital footprint before servers go down and it's too late.

Yeah - everything on the internet is permanent, but there's no need to make it easy for stalkers, I guess.

If you are interested in my progress on the tool or want to have a chat before I go, I'll check the comments every once in a while. Notifications are broken enough to be useless, so don't expect fast responses.

Tata, and good luck to all the ranters staying put!

Week: 119 (Year 3)

Plans for the second last weekend of the year?

Question: Have you done all your 2025 year resolutions?

You can check your 2025 resolutions right here -> https://devrant.com/rants/12057280

You can check your 2024 resolutions right here -> https://devrant.com/rants/10065108

I TRY TO ORDER A VAPE STICK YOU FUCKING PSYCHOS.

https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview...

So, if you buy something there: they have your credit card details, your picture, your passport. What's next? My pp size?

Do they want to make a loan in my name or something? FUCKING HELL.

This does not have to do with the shit EU is pulling of lately I hope? Because if that's the case, I will basically not shop much online anymore.

Life update:

- Got a job. Will start in Jan. I lost my other contract in september, so it's almost 3 months of stress. I really have to find a way to diversify income. 2025 will be the year of me finding a sidegig.

- I needed a better sound to mix my album, so I went to the pawnshop and bought a NAD amplifier and 2 ITT speaker cabinet. I think the amp is from the 80ies and the speaker are from the 70. Danish.

- My deskie suffered a catastrophic harddrive damage. I could exfiltrate all the data but the bios diag is failing so I will go buy another one

Merry christmas

fuck u wordpress

I am enthusiastically waiting for Friday to come around these days.

I don't know if my life's heading in the right direction.

One of my minions gave his 2 weeks notice. They grow up so fast 🥲
