The only thing I really miss about visual studio is the automatic profiler. Everything else just felt archaic, bloated, slow, and unintuitive. Adding one line in cmake often does the same thing as clicking through five submenus which never once got updated since 2012.

If only psychiatrists didn't do literally everything in their power to make getting an appointment as hard as possible for people who have ADHD. Same goes for social anxiety.

My ideal microwave has zero smart electronics. Just a physical timer along with a switch to disable the bell.

More like 10 minutes in my case. I am not joking. Android is a terrible operating system and the entire smartphone industry should be ashamed of itself for letting it get this bad.

First command I run on any new Windows install

Took me a while before I realized this isn't Star Wars cosplay

I feel like there might be a ton of weird edge cases where people still need 32 bit libraries. Steam is just scratching the surface here. The first steps should always be a series of public announcements and discussions followed by a testing period where the packages get moved to a repo which is disabled by default.

Is the right photo real? I can't believe how my country keeps blindly supporting Israel...

Every game should have a secret mega-boss that either takes a fuckton of items or an ungodly amount of skill to defeat

Same thing applies to coffee maker / espresso machine tanks. I found a nasty surprise in mine recently...

I once discovered that my moka pot had an industrial grease stuck to it in an area that is almost impossible to clean. I used it so many times before finding that out...

SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version

The exact same thing will happen with .jxl

Even if meth was chemically identical to ADHD meds, the argument still wouldn't hold. Anything that lessens people's symptoms without creating even more problems can be a medication.

Disabling it entirely is possible, but I want to keep the encryption and set a proper password for it instead of the stupidly long recovery key. That and similar features seem to be locked behind the pro version.

I can't even adjust bitlocker settings on my laptop's windows 11 home Installation...

The WordPress bots really are a bad problem. To stop them from finding my stuff, I always put my homelab sites on an obscure subdomain, and only list a wildcard entry on DNS, but that only really works for sites which should never be indexed by a crawler.

Francis tried to be a decent person, but the organization he supports has an ungodly amount of money and outreach which aren't being put to good use. Christianity could do so much more to help, they just choose not to.

Elsevier's parent company had a 38.4% adjusted operating margin in it's scientific, technical and medical arm in 2024
