Searching Classical art has become a nightmare now everyone can generate their own AI Slop with "Renaissance Classical Art" in the prompt and smash the resulting airbrushed-look piece of shit online to clog up my search results.

Fuck you and your dipshit regurgitation machines

I'm looking for 100 more Muay Thai Fighters for another line of mouth-kneeing:

Even untouched it's possible for playwright to break upon install in the pipeline due to remote updates.

Good tools do not break backwards compatibility lest I manually update a major version.

are Typescript developers this unconfident about being able to wipe their own ass that they need types to be this specific?

Even if I should, for some reason, be this specific, that should still be polymorphically correct and actually leverage a type system in any useful way.

I am searching for about 100 skilled Muay Thai fighters so that we can all stand in a line and spend the next 24 uninterrupted hours throwing flying knees into the teeth of whomever invented this shit:

TS2322: Type Timeout is not assignable to type number

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

setTimeout() returns a *positive integer ID*, it's a goddamn number. That is how it's designed to work per specification.

Why do I now have to import a node type for a codebase that's designed to run in a browser, you know, that thing that actually uses javascript as intended?

Nothing screams "I never had to fix another person's bug while being brand-new to a professional project" like choosing to use Utility classes.

@TeamYouTube Do you truly? Because my entire point is that moderating after the ad has already been aired is *not good enough* By the time I report or sent a report: Someone has likely already been victimised by the ad in question. Every one is too many.

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

@TeamYouTube Understand VERY CLEARLY that this is not about this individual ad: Gambling ads are against your terms of service, SO WHY DO YOU KEEP ACCEPTING THEM? Every time I report them, I get responses: We will take action! Okay, great, WHY IS IT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

You want to get rid of ad blockers? Fix your advertisement policy.

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

This, mind you, is why people use adblockers in the first place: Not because "Ads are annoying", it is because it is actively intrusive and damaging to their lives and you CANNOT be relied on to keep them safe.

Front-enders be like "React is the most beautiful framework" and then fucking ship code that looks like early 2010's WordPress template PHP.

React devs, more so than the framework itself, seem to be the more dogmatic alternatives exist.

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

"Typescript is good because you can be type consistent and it doesn't force you to use it"

Then you fuckwits proceed to cast () => void into string, don't enforce Typescript on commit, and I can fucking fix it because your brainrot necessitated it in the installation script.

Can we stop pretending that a company that blows billions on recreating fucking Second Life and failing despite open-source viewers being everywhere as a company that at all knows what they're doing anyway?

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

"we should use React because it's the industry standard, there's a lot of advice!" Has to be the most stupid argument I have ever heard. Nobody realises all advice out there is given to people too retarded to read the docs. Leaving people with real problems with nothing.

"Why does user-event not work like I expect?"
"Have you considered using user-event?"
Thanks fuckface

@bazzilic @zack_overflow Only issue I've encountered so far is that HDR still isn't great. Aside from that I've never had much of an issue with NVidia at least when running their proprietary drivers (I don't mind having a bit of closed source), but the Open Source ones have been getting better in strides

"We care about your privacy; we are sharing your data with only 1500+ vendors" Has to be the most hilariously dystopic thing I sadly read in every cookie consent form I come across that has also, somehow, been normalised.

"Let's use SASS! Rather than simplifying selectors, the solution to all our woes is by NESTING EVEN MORE GODDAMN ELEMENTS."
*gets into specificity hell again*

[The Amazing Erik @ErikDevable]

My true and honest opinion on Javascript component frameworks and SASS is that it's akin to inept motherfuckers running a nuclear power plant, which they only commissioned because they couldn't get a donkey to walk in circles around a mill. That's it. You're Homer Fucking Simpson

"Let's use React! The VDOM makes it fast! OOPS. I have room temperature IQ and now my component structure is all fucked up and I'm using document.getElementId anway, sidestepping the VDOM to deep-select something." Did you really, really NEED React in the first place, dipshit?
