Sorry, I don't "follow for follow". Too much to clutter my feed and I don't have time to sift through the nonsense.

These #xfinity #remotes are the crappiest design I've ever used. Someone should lose their job.

When your cross-platform #cpp project with the same source and headers just compile in all OSes with no extra bs and on 1st compile... 🤌😙

Really wish there was a desktop app version of #godbolt Compiler Explorer and that it wasn't written in JS. I CANNOT STAND using software in a web browser. This plague has to end. SMFH. #software #programming rant

This #NoKings is nonsense. The people who need to hear and heed the words are not listening nor would your words carry weight with them if they were. They only speak one language: "DEPARTMENT OF WAR". This is not a call to violence nor do a I condone such behavior, but this is not working.

"Everything is a #webapp" is starting make me sick to my stomach & make me work exponentially harder. I don't need to be baby sat with a sandboxed app for every damn thing & I definitely don't want to use a fucking browser for "software". Anytime I need real software I HAVE TO write it myself. #rant

Come check out Creation Nation #Minecraft Java server! I've been there for over 3 years. It's a Towny/Economy/Jobs/MCMMO server with a small, but helpful community. Yes, there are ranks, but it's not PTW, ranks just give slight conveniences, but doesn't upset the economy.

So, we're at a point at which if we speak halfway intelligently and use fairly proper grammar then we are considered and accused of being an "AI Bot". Younger people can't even use full sentences nor explain things in detail (communication) today.

If you use large hosts files in #Windows and have trouble with the DNS Cache slowing down or completely stopping your internet/system then you can compress the hosts file and gain control back. I have written a tool to do so.

I will not "follow-for-follow" (or star-for-star or whatever) on any platform. #github eventually fell into this nonsense as well & it's annoying af. People actually message you pissed off that you didn't star their ridiculous calculator webapp just because they starred yours or followed you. FO.

Watching #mrrobot and this shish is just hard to digest lol The creator says he was tired of #hacker movies and shows not being realistic and yet while some of it is close, half of this is nonsense. No real "hacker" is using Kali lol and definitely not going to own an Apple product.

All of the posting on here about right-wing trash is pointless. There are very few right wingers here and it falls on deaf ears for those that are here. Most of us left-wingers know what kind of trash they are. Not to mention that talking isn't getting anything done. You speak, they laugh.

Just because I'm a programming and gaming nerd does not mean that I am an easy target nor a punk-b17<4. I do not want to chat in a private website so you can fleece me of my money. I don't think my wife nor myself would appreciate that. Kindly f||<|{ []ff.
