Sealab is great! That show (and ATHF) got me into mc chris

the Xtacles

You got my hopes up that there was a frisky dingo spinoff show…

Popular also doesn’t mean good. There are plenty of shows that run for years that aren’t very good, but make money. Mindless entertainment sells great, but selling isn’t quality, it’s just moving products. And low quality cheap schlock does sell.

This is basically how I see it:

And i don’t see it anywhere in this situation. They’re asked to do a job a certain way (or for management, to make sure it happens in a certain way), and they do that to the best of their ability.

Nah, I’m sick of trying to get you to understand that it’s not the person I’m talking about, but the mentality of management through the whole process. I don’t know if you’re just not reading the words I write or what, but I’m not willing to keep repeating the same point to a wall

Oh, it gets worse. I’ve had some where I have to enter a character into the boxes before it would figure its shit out…

I’m aware of the TUI logins (I think f7 is your graphical, but I might be wrong) and sometimes those work too. I’ve started just sshing in because the terminal switching was hit and miss.

But thanks for that loginctl command, I’ll have to give that one a try as well!

Wouldn’t he only be lazy if he’s not doing anything else more productive instead?

Of course not. It’s rather easy to see how one can choose to be lazy and not do hard work while being “productive” doing easier tasks. But this isn’t about the dev, it’s about the culture.

He gets payed to do a specific job,

Again, stop thinking I’m calling the dev lazy, you’re completely missing my point.

and does it the best way possible given the constraints. I don’t see how you find lazyness in that.

This is the laziness. The constraints imposed by management to get new features out the door at the expense of making their existing features work better is a hallmark of the current development era.

I’m not even going to respond to the last bit because it’s entirely irrelevant to (and completely misunderstands) the point I’m making.

Where? I don’t have time to read the whole thing, but I didn’t see anything in the first half dozen paragraphs. And CTRL-F for pedo, groom, and abuse had nothing, and ‘child’ only had one entry where a supposed mandami supporter was wanting to change parties to vote for the Nazi shit.

I never called them lazy, I stated that the mentality is lazy, which it is. Whether or not that laziness is profit driven, it still comes down to not wanting to put forth the effort to make a product that runs better.

Systemic laziness as profit generation is still laziness. We’re just excusing it with cost and shit, and if everyone is lazy, then no one is.

If cost is a justification for this kind of laziness, it also justifies slop code development. After all, it’s cheaper that way, right?

The platform that takes advantage of child labor and protects pedophiles is the better choice?

What’s the white house like /s

LinkedIn hasn’t stopped people from exposing pedophiles, so LinkedIn is the better choice.

…5 words I never thought I’d say…

How is that mindset lazy?

Are you really asking how it’s lazy to pass unoptimized code to a customer and make their hardware do all the work for you because optimization was too costly?? Like I get that you are in an Enterprise space, but this mentality is very prevalent and is why computers from today don’t feel that much faster software wise than they did 10 years ago. The faster hardware gets, the lazier devs can be because why optimize when they’ve got all those cycles and RAM available?

And this isn’t a different at you, that’s software development in general, and I don’t see it getting any better.

Yeah …notice I said “learning”, not “being taught”. Maybe the rest of it that I left implied is what happens when you force people to learn your language? Didn’t think I’d have to spell out what the schools did to those poor children to make them learn English for you to understand an implied point, but here we are.

How do you think they’re going to make these people learn Mandarin? Do you think they’re going to ask nicely? Or are they going to do the same thing every dominant colonial culture tries to do to its minorites?

I’ve seen some stuff where going to sleep and coming out degrades perf

I’ll have to try some of these suggestions myself, as I’ve been dealing with my UI locking up if the monitors turn off and I wake it up too soon. Sometimes I still have ssh access to it, so thanks for the shell commands!

Probably just the browser itself, considering how bloated they’re getting. It’s not super surprising, considering the apps run about as fast (on a good day) as it did 5-10 years ago on a new phone, it’s gonna run like dogshit on a phone from that era.

And that lazy mentality just passes the cost to the consumer.

Ask the indigenous people how much they liked learning to speak the common tongue

While yes it is, but I was responding specifically to the ‘celebrating its downfall’ part, which we should have because flash was insecure as fuck.

As I noted, there were a ton of fun and interesting items people made for it, and you can even still find them out on the net to relive those days and even see new shit on places like newgrounds. But let’s not pretend that flash itself didn’t need to die well before it did.

The best time to live is behind us. Just because it’s going to get worse doesn’t mean it’s not bad now.

Today sucks, tomorrow sucks worse, but today still sucks just as much as it did before you thought about tomorrow.

Probably doesn’t want to get upstaged by a better dev in their (purchased) series. Again.
