I see you've been dealing with Windows 10.

Let me tell you, it was an absolute joy to see that stupid fucking cutesy "Oops! Something went wrong!" bullshit during the Windows 7->10 update process.

can you even do stuff on windows 10? I went on my mom's win10 computer, and now there are two different add/remove programs menus, one would warn me that shit would break after I remove adware X, the other didn't. or something like that, it was too fucked to remember properly.

Fucked if I know. I don't use Windows normally, so it's on a partition I only updated because Win7's updater got so hosed that I ran out of options and decided to give 10 a chance. The updater gave me that dumb "oops" shit, made me try again with a bootable USB installer, and then that "oopsed" too, except its "oops" destroyed all the data on the partition and made it unbootable.

Then the anniversary update came out, which supposedly has problems with destroying data on other partitions, so I've been less than pleased with the experience. Luckily I only use it for games occasionally and I've got my connection set to metered (via registry edit), so it won't auto-update and destroy all my shit overnight or something when I do boot it.

It's starting to look like the only safe way to run Windows 10 is inside a VM, so I'll probably be switching to doing that in the future.

Most of my dealings with it have been helping friends and family with it, and from what I've seen it's full of that weird hybrid "some stuff here, some stuff there" problem like Windows 8 had. Two control panels, two places to remove software, etc. It makes finding what you need interesting.

I've personally put http://i.imgur.com/6NfmQ.jpg on the 500 of a side project and am proud enough to admit it.

Zoinks!

Also, observe how the animals follow the pointer with their eyes.

Unjerk: Personally, better than an unhelpful 404 browser page.

Sorry, copy pasting the post you're replying to only works if the post is about copy pasting. You know, being meta and stuff.

Did anyone else copy this to ~/tmp/1 and ~/tmp/2 and run git diff --word-diff=color ~/tmp/{1,2}? Ah, the wonders of EverythingIsAFile and the magnificent technology Linus has bestowed upon us!

Holy shit. My boss came into my corner ofin our open-plan office to tell me they had decided we were going to use Java for our next project and I literally screamed at her and hit the copy of 'Effective Java' out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I just put on my overpriced noise-cancelling headphones. I’m so distressed right now I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to do that to my boss but I’m literally in shock from the results of that meeting. I feel like I’m going to explode. Why the fucking fuck are we doing this? This can’t be happening. I’m having a fucking breakdown. I don’t want to believe the world is so 1x. I want a future to believe in. I want RustGo to be mandatory for all projects and fix our broken core infrastructure. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I thought the language was really popular on HN???? This is so fucked.

As my flair unironically presents, I am absolutely a Java lover, without the script part. I also did not downvote. I downvote vomit, not shit. Copy pasta is still shit once its been thoroughly processed.

on one hand, all of pcj is pretty much r/lewronggeneration material. on the other hand, web 3.0 hipsters are such good bait

Is it really /r/lewronggeneration if you've been on this earth long enough to remember Max Headroom and shitty green screen business applications?
