JackbyDev,

A lot of apps don’t support webp yet. Facebook Messenger is a good example. If I want to share a meme that was webp it says “GIF” in the gallery and says it can’t upload images in that format.

Getting Over a Breakup

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I’m not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I’m ruminating. I don’t have many people to go to about this. Please don’t say I will...

JackbyDev,

It’s just gonna take time. Even if you’re doing all the right things to speed it up it will still be awhile.

Try to distract yourself. Don’t try to totally ignore it or anything but trying to do some fun activities will help you get out of the gunk somewhat.

JackbyDev,

I’ve been on like six flights in my life. I am absolutely not spending too much time in airports by not missing a flight. What a fucking out of touch thing to say.

JackbyDev,

Yeah. A lot of the UI seems to be intentionally bad. It’s actually a pretty hard game. A good example is reloading. You do this by holding right click, moving the mouse down then up and letting go of right click. I think the visual parts of the experience speak for themselves from the screenshots but my point is that even a lot of other stuff in the game is just wack.

JackbyDev,

I feel like part of this is that so many of the “openly gay characters” have been either not so open, extremely in the background, or even debatably gay that each new threshold feels like a “victory” or something.

JackbyDev,

I was similar. If I was taking notes I couldn’t pay attention to what the teacher was saying. I was better off just watching and listening.

JackbyDev,

Wikipedia has XOR truth tables and contains my very secret trade secrets!

JackbyDev,

The irony is that nowadays you could just say “well, the codes open source and all hosted on GitHub…”

JackbyDev,

She’s fuckin’ dead!

JackbyDev,

Just comment friend, be the change you want to see.

JackbyDev,

If you don’t want to read the post you don’t have to read the post.

JackbyDev,

As a Java developer I have trouble not seeing it as object oriented programming!

JackbyDev,

You sound like the dude in the image lol. I don’t mean that in a bad way, just a funny observation. I get it too, because whenever my friends and I see a movie we have these sort of debates. I rate 1 to 5 and everyone else does 1 to 10. I say I can’t do 1 to 10 because it is too granular and it’s a subjective thing anyways. It’s funny how something so simple as “rate X on a scale of whatever” can turn into such a massive dilemma.

JackbyDev,

They’ve reset mine twice before many years ago. I’m sure Minecraft is my top overall. In steam it says Metal Gear Solid 5 is my top but I would leave it running sometimes for the research to finish. Second is Garry’s Mod. I played that A LOT when I was younger.

Bean versus leaf, if only we could live together in harmony

JackbyDev,

It’s not always so simple. I’m in Fintech so have to take the UDAAP course every year or so and the law is more consumer friendly than you’d expect, at least for the US. The deceptive bit is probably the most relevant. If the person signing them up for it told them “you won’t be charged” but failed to mention that they would be charged later that is an example of a deceptive practice.

JackbyDev,

Could be a UDAAP violation if they didn’t know what they were signing up for.

JackbyDev,

The millennium falcon would win because it would make a better story and it has a history of assisting small ships destroying large space bases.

JackbyDev,

I can’t believe you even put Spectrum in the same tier as Nestle lol.

“If you ain’t first, you’re last”

JackbyDev,

Your daily reminder that VSCode is shit not because of telemetry (take your time foil hat off for one second and hear me out and I say that jokingly with love) but because the extension marketplace is not allowed to be accessed by third party tools (INCLUDING CODIUM) and even then many of the extensions are proprietary, closed source. You’re not even allowed to distribute compiled VSIX files. It’s disgusting. Reading about the troubles gitpod faced that led to the (now) Eclipse Marketplace (idk the name, but it’s for VS Code plugins, don’t be tricked, it’s just owned by Eclipse foundation) is disheartening.

JackbyDev,

Required ceremonial deism, even worse, yuck!

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

JackbyDev,

Using it since I was 12

People have been using X since that age so anything different is going to be jarring. Just the smallest roadblocks can put people off of stuff. Why bother learning something new when the old thing works?
