What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger?
  • I knew it wasn't spelled exactly like the bird lol. But yeah I used that shit for years. I don't really have a use for it anymore or I'd probably still be using it

  • I used that until they pay walled it. Then I found Pidgen I believe it was called. It was open source and could connect to pretty much every messenger and IRC and stuff. Then my friend just switched to texting lol

  • Lync was such garbage. I used that for years at one of my old jobs. Teams just feels like discord with extra shittiness lol.

    The worst part is that they had developed an in-house app that worked amazing but abandoned it for teams.

    I Got permanently banned from a subreddit I liked and was a long time member of because I accidentally reposted something that was already posted on there before
  • Reddit mods are basically in the belief that they're Mao Zedong. When I created and ran a subreddit /r/treecomics way back in the day, I got accused of being too light on reposts. Like if it was within a couple days I would just remove it. Unless someone was constantly doing it, there's no harm. Lighten the fuck up people.

    So glad I'm permabanned for saying that neonazis in my city should learn how to bite a curb.

    Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants
  • I mean, I'm a dev who got laid off almost a year ago and still can't find anything. I know tons of others who are in similar positions. So...

    You want to become a programmer to make more money but you don't have the time or money to get started?
  • Good luck. Software development market is absolute trash now. I can't get a job with nearly 10 years of experience. One of my old jobs has gone from 35 developers to 5 who use ChatGPT to generate most of their code and just check and make small modifications.

    How do folks here handle the feeling that they're just waiting, not serving a purpose, and being a burden on their family as well.
  • Also you should know that there are other diseases that can cause similar symptoms. I have mixed connective tissue disease. It causes me to have tremors, sleep constantly, and my biceps and calves hurt intensely after a little effort. It's debilitating. It took me a year to get diagnosed.

    What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?
  • I'm a software engineer but can't even get a call back due to the fact that tons of us are unemployed right now. Many unemployed have more experience than I do.

    The best part is that I can't even get a job at a grocery store because I'm "overqualified" according to one store in my neighborhood.

  • I'm looking to sell my laptop. I've used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there's no recoverable data?

    Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

    Edit to add: I don't have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there's a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?

    Curious if I'm overthinking things or if this might actually be possible. I got out of detox yesterday and the experience was... Bad this time around. I was really triggered by my treatment by the staff and wanted to drink so badly. I didn't, but I did meet up with a few friends and have a few near beers. 3 over the course of 4 hours. By my calculation, that should be 0.18oz of alcohol max, if the brewery is to be believed.

    They were Athletic, which is a pretty trusted brand. I didn't feel intoxication at all. It just helped with the cravings and stuff.

    About 4 hours after my last one though, I could swear I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms for about an hour and a half. Cold sweats, intense nausea, severe anxiety - granted I always have anxiety lingering around. No tremors thankfully, and it passed.

    The only other idea I had was food poisoning from getting non hospital food, but I've never heard of food poisoning lasting that shortly.

    Thoughts? Either way I'm staying away from the near beer for at least a week.

    I'm on version 1.0.95 on Android. Google pixel 6 pro. Any thoughts?
