This entire thread is just memes instead of discussion. This feels like peak reddit shittery.

So where are programs installed?

I was playing with Linux the other day and installed something and was tearing my hair out trying to find where the exe or whatever was to launch the damn program.

None of the folders made any sense to me.

FUCK IT!!! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!!

That’s actually kinda cool. Punish the scrapers, but allow regular people to not waste time.

Meanwhile, Google is having you find the zebra crossing for the 400th time…

Courage is the wise man’s nectar and the foolish man’s liqueur.

I hate these filthy Neutrals. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

You should love Trump like you love your own child!!! 😂

Imagine aspiring to be a fat, old, rapist, orange loser 😂

This thread is such a microcosm of today’s discourse.

Everyone attributing malice to anyone they don’t agree with, everyone looking to dunk on people and up votes / down votes piling on in batches based on trends.

It is possible to not immediately be on board with new terms without being a bigot. Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge or sometimes just preference.

I’ve said it before I will address people as they wish to be addressed. If somone has been called a straight male for all their life and they want to be called that it changes nothing for me. Calling them a bigot is counterproductive and just causes divides for no reason.

Man, I kind of feel for the poster.

A while back I was tinkering with some website and installed some npm packages.

Then I tried to delete the nodes modules folder… NOTHING worked… Safe mode, permissions change, command line deletion,… I spend like an hour googling and raging, it’s my fucking computer I put the fucking file there, let me delete it!!!

I was ready to give up and finally stumbled on the answer on stack overflow. The npm folder that was created (I forget exactly what it was) had the ~ symbol in path name and that basically made the folder invincible.

Luckily the poster also posted the command line to nuke the fucker and I was finally able to delete it.

So yea, I kinda get it. Seeing that stupid you don’t have permission to delete this file pop-up is rage inducing.

The image doesn’t quite work because youtube needs a MASSIVE solution that works, scales, doesn’t fuck up their infrastructure and on and on and on.

Meanwhile on the user front, all your doing essentially is just skipping parts of a video, that will always be infinitely cheaper easier to do. Challenging for sure, but the solution can be small.

Even something as stupid as delaying your video start by 1 min, pre buffering then skipping ads. It’s brute force and barbaric but the point is that Google can’t do shit against that.

My ultimate vision is AI that preloads videos you want and detects ads / sponsor segments and just skips them / cuts them out on your device.

Nice of you to think the FBI gives a shit investigating corporate malfeasance.

I second this motion. People also need to stop posting images of themselves all over the web. Especially their own kids. Parents plastering their kids images all over social media should not be condoned.

And on a related note we need much better sex-education in this country and a much healthier relationship with nudity.

A big part of all of this is indoctrination of children. If you didn’t introduce religion to children while they are at a vulnerable state, religion would quickly be relegated to a fringe cult.

The percentage of people that aren’t flooded with this garbage as children that turn to religion once they are adults is miniscule and could easily be ignored.

The problem is that religion is so powerful and ingrained that they are able to sustain bombard children at a steady pace.

A tiny container of “explosive” liquid like that would barely do any damage in the trashcan. Worst case it would injure a few people.

The same explosion at 30,000 in the plane would be catastrophic.

I get TSA is a lot of bullshit, but there is no really good solution for this except some hyper rapid liquid tester.

Which just isn’t worth it dump it out and refill it past the gate.

Your eyes can’t possibly tell the difference. We’re past the max eye resolution at this point.

Passenger per hour going where? If everyone is going from A to B, ok. But people need to go allover the place.

For me a 10min car ride is a 1.15h bus ride…

This guy Tolkiens!

Exactly. I’d also like to add, look at Google stuff their ui / ux is routinely horseshit. So don’t tell me there are ui/ux gurus out there GIGAchading user interfaces.

A lot of this shit is trial and error and even then they still fuck it up.

Make it accessible, make it legible and then fine tune it after.

Ah ok, well that’s not for me
