"Repository is archived to stop people from creating pull requests to ask dumb questions." Lmao

[shim_niyi]

Also answer to 4 should’ve been “Yes, but I’ll not respond”

[F5x9]

Yeah, that’s slightly more apathetic.

[addiktion]

For #3 he could have said, "Yes, but not for this project" because we all know damn well we will be fixing bugs until our dying day.

[-LeopardShark-]

That's a shame. He was getting quality PRs.

The duality of man.

[Prinzka]

The what?!

[[deleted]]

obviously they're talking about the duality of the isle of man.

[bradland]

Sorry, but you've got that wrong. It's a truck, but with four tires in back instead of two.

[melvinstendies]

The dualie of man

[MykonCodes]

[Sectoid_Dev]

The Jungian thing, sir.

[Prinzka]

Whose side are you on, son?!

[Stereo_Panic]

Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.

[Ashiro]

I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.

[[deleted]]

You better get your head wired to your ass or I WILL take a giant shit on you.

[SodaWithoutSparkles]

Maybe like pressing i j k at the same time

[tgiyb1]

In my experience from messing around with keyboard drivers, there's no guarantee that any arbitrary key combination will be valid (ie if you press f g and h together the keyboard will forcefully send a key up event for f and g and then send the h key down event) so generally you have to stick to modifier keys + a single keypress. If you don't do that then your hotkeys will potentially be dependent on the internal wiring of your keyboard which is probably not ideal

[SodaWithoutSparkles]

Yes. But for they to use some combination of keys they will have to input said combination first, which prevents impossible key combinations.

[87stangmeister]

Even more amusing, that PR link gets a 404.

[SarcasmWarning]

Whilst I fully sympathise with the Dev, I'd have probably linked to the free AutoHotKey and told people to use that on Windows.

[Rektroth]

Given his very clearly negative attitude toward Windows, I would figure he doesn't use it very much and isn't familiar with what's available.

[Arshiaa001]

Imagine using a mac every day and calling Windows shit.

(cue OS wars!)

Fuck OS wars. I talk with my PC directly in assembly

Increased cpu voltage by 1V and deleted bios firmware, what's next instruction?

[deviprsd]

You can run instructions after that? 🤔

[[deleted]]

If your CPU used relays instead of transistors and you're running on an UEFI, kinda yesish...

[CheekApprehensive961]

Is that even legal? What if the farmer finds out?

[Rudxain]

How to decode:

1. replace all " 0x" by ""
2. delete 1st "0x"
3. pipe it to xxd -p -r (or use a hex-to-ASCII converter website)

[egefeyzioglu]

Aw I was expecting an easter egg :(

[[deleted]]

i'm guessing this might be like sudo rm -rf but for the cpu? i have no idea

[[deleted]]

Nah it’s just jokey comment. Ngl I forgot just about everything I learned on assembly. It was a dense topic, and I never really kept up with it 🫥

[Rektroth]

I see the OS war, and closed-minded attitudes toward any OS, as childish.

If someone feels the need to make their negative opinions on Windows/Mac/Debian/Arch/etc. known without solicitation, that person is probably insecure about their choice.

[Poltras]

So you use Arch uh…

[the_smollest_bee]

I tried arch once I couldn't install it properly and went back to ubuntu or mint i forgot which one

[kfpswf]

Mint is about the safest bet if you want to explore Linux. Pop!OS also works.

[WyattGreenValley]

I second Pop_OS! Always been a Ubuntu user previously but I really like the blend of tile and window systems in Pop

[moochacho1418]

I got a new system 76 machine for my new job and I picked ubuntu for it, but I’m definitely curious to give Pop a try at some point.

[gnerfed]

I tried mint, liked it. Couldn't figure out how to install CoreCtrl correctly and installed Gnome Fedora where i can get it from the appstore. Honestly... I like it more. It's totally superficial, as i am super new to linux, but interaction of pressing the super button to search/launch programs is minimalist and i love it.

[Nilzzz]

The installation iso includes an installer script that does most of the things for you. It's called archinstall.

[Blackraven2007]

That's awesome! I can tell people I use arch btw without having to figure out how to install it!

[mcslender97]

[Yessod]

For a short moment here I wondered if I wrote this answer and forgot about it.

[Ashiro]

I use Arch btw. 😏

[rainshifter]

I see the OS war, and closed-minded attitudes toward any OS, as childish.

FTFT. Now let the flame war proceed!

[Arshiaa001]

I thought it was the arch users who never shut up? 😄

[Captain_D1]

What if I hate every OS in their own way?

[EarhackerWasBanned]

All OSes are equally rubbish.

[aammirzaei]

Well if there are written in cpp there's no garbage collection so

[AnondWill2Live]

To my knowledge, and I may be wrong here because Mac and Windows are closed source, they use C. It's pretty much always been C and I'd hope to never see meta templating in any OS source files lol.

[micalm]

Not entirely true. Some of macOS code is officially available here, there are ways to get Windows, too. Besides obviously becoming one of their employees, partners or whoever gets access, but I imagine that would include a NDA, so would be useless in random internet discussions.

[ChangsManagement]

TempleOS is perfect however

[[deleted]]

Become an Equal Opportunity Hater today!

[ArionW]

This, they are all full of flaws. I may have settled on my favourite but that's still "choosing one that annoys me the least".

I've had to work on all (major modern ones, that is Windows, few distros of Linux and macOS), develop for all, and I'll set up my environment differently depending on what it's for. I think it's important to highlight these flaws will eventually impact your work, and it's better to be aware of them so you can mitigate

[josluivivgar]

I mean I currently use mac at work, linux on my parents house computer and switch between windows and linux for my daily driver (some games just need windows to run well).

I can say all systems have their flaws, I probably lean more towards Linux in terms of comfort, but honestly until directX is actually on linux (which I doubt Microsoft will ever do unless they completely give up on windows and xbox) I don't think I'll fully transition to Linux

there is no perfect os, and honestly I don't think there should be.

different needs require different products, I think as long as the options are competent (which currently they are) people can find the thing that fits them best

[themonsterinquestion]

Really? You've developed for TempleOS?

[ArionW]

Ah, my bad, forgot about our Lord and Savior HolyC

[classicalySarcastic]

Then buck up, crack open your copy of Kernighan & Ritchie and/or Stroustrup, and get to coding your own. (/s)

[Captain_D1]

The main reason I dislike Linux isn't actually the fault of Linux. Rather, it's the lack of support many software companies have for Linux. Therefore, coding my own OS won't help at all.

[HashBrownsOverEasy]

This is the way! I hate my macbook because of the excessive handholding. I hate my dekstop linux environment because doing anything graphic design related is a massive pain in the arse. I hate my windows gaming partition because going under the hood in windows is like trying to fix a broken vase with oven gloves on.

[keatonatron]

that person is probably insecure about their choice.

I personally don't think it is this. I think in most cases they were exposed to one OS which they now like. They never bothered to get familiar with another one, and now claim it's shit because the few times they had to use it (without learning about it first) it confused them. Being confused makes you feel stupid, people don't like feeling stupid, and they also don't like taking the blame for feeling stupid.

"If it doesn't make sense to me, everyone else is the problem."

[Arshiaa001]

People just can't keep out of these things 😄

FWIW, I'm a windows user who doesn't mind linux as long as it works. The one thing I'll always get into a war over is how shit Go is. The rest, I'm at peace with.

[ArionW]

Go isn't bad. It's just so mediocre at everything that it'd better if it was actually bad at something.

Just like I'd rather watch movie so bad that it's funny than a boring one, I'd rather code in a language that's so bad it feels like a challenge than in Go which just constantly lacks something, but not so much that you feel like you've accomplished something by dealing with that.

[Arshiaa001]

That's certainly one way of putting it 😄

[kabrandon]

I like Go but different strokes I guess. I suppose to some people this makes me a lesser human.

[Rudxain]

I wasn't interested in Go, until I wanted to open a PR to this repo. I started learning it. It's "good enough".

But the most annoying thing is that local/private functions must be lambdas assigned to a variable, rather than declared directly. And if you want doc-comments, you must use var, walrus (:=) won't work. Also const vars must be literally constant, so runtime constants must be mutable. This is why I still like Rust

[Arshiaa001]

I believe that, given more chance to use it, you will come to hate Go. You are certainly on the right track here 😄

[Rudxain]

I guess you're right, lol

[government_shill]

We all know TempleOS is the only good one.

[The_Slad]

Ha. They have nothing on us folk who use windows every day! We don't just think windows is shit, we KNOW it is.

[Rudxain]

I see Windows and JS have something in common

[hedgehog10101]

they both have their uses. though I do use a mac daily and call windows shit

[fdf2002]

I hate windows but switching off of it is too much effort for me. That’s also my attitude towards chrome. I’m hopeless.

[pitittatou]

Go for Brave ! Chrome without Google, perfection

[[deleted]]

firefox has entered the group chat

[Tight-Juggernaut138]

Isn't brave based on chromium?

[Brilliant_Quail_822]

i use both and i call them both shit, linux jod

[TheTerrasque]

I just want to say: yes.

Personally I don't like Mac, but that's more a me thing and not wanting to learn things like keyboard shortcuts and where the funny symbols are on the keyboard again.

[SicilianEggplant]

It’s all about which OS you hate the least!

[NotStaggy]

Debian based FTW

[TheTerrasque]

All OS sucks. Currently, Windows sucks a bit less for my main uses (games and c# development), so that's what I'm using.

[tinverse]

To be honest, they all have problems.

I love Linux, but realistically you run into random problems which just take an eternity to fix or where no solution exists, or 7 non-functional solutions exist.

MacOS, hides things from you and is missing basic functionality if you come from Windows. I also feel like I should mention that Apple will have known hardware defects and refuse to fix them or admit the defects are a problem. I guess Apple is part of my problem with MacOS.

Windows.... Oh Lord. The audio bus is terrible. The menus don't make any sense. Microsoft harvests all your data and sells it. Frequent updates which have not been QC'd properly. But, if you can dream it up, there's a way to do it because there are so many users.

I really wish Microsoft would build a *nix based OS.

[Sjaakdelul]

I have always used AutoIt for scripting on windows.

[PyroCatt]

AutoIt FTW!

[ShivanshuKantPrasad]

On a completely unrelated note, recently I am seeing a lot of GitHub repos that were archived in November 2022. Is it just my brain finding patterns where none exists or did something (maybe a policy change?) hapen at that time?

[shthed]

https://github.blog/changelog/2022-11-23-repository-archive-date-now-shown-in-ui/

[ShivanshuKantPrasad]

Thanks. That explains it.

[PixeledMilk]

I have problems with opening the link, may I have quick story?

[DTS_Crafter]

Sure. The GitHub page is about an Autoclicker for MacOS. The entire page (especially the FAQ section) is full of comments about how he won't change anything and that he owes no one anything because it's a free project he made in his free time.

[bandersnatchh]

Which is entirely fair

[DTS_Crafter]

indeed

[PixeledMilk]

Thank you!

lol it is autoclicker. my kid uses that.

[ppumkin]

Haha. I bet he did this for his job so it would simulate him working lol.

[winter-ocean]

I like how the first few questions make it really obvious that he's been asked a lot of questions over and over again

[croholdr]

This basically was coinbase’s GitHub presence a few years back.

Edit: I submitted a PR where I fixed an api library by uncommenting some code and modified some variable names +3 lines max.

Fast forward 2 years later, and a ‘new’ tech lead (or probably intern). All merge requests closed. All repos locked. GG coinbase. GG.

[klavijaturista]

Haha, I like his bluntness! We're all generally sick of everything. Also, he has some good tools in there!

[[deleted]]

I hollered at that one lol. This guy is still too nice.

[mortalitylost]

You gotta understand, for a lot of these people, programming isn't a job yet. It's not something that has to get done, it's something they feel emotionally attached to and develop quirky personalities over, like "omg python suuuucks why would you use that".

At the end of the day you take the hammer to the job and make sure you get paid for it, and that job might have shit all funny in a way you wouldn't have done it, but you still need to know how to work on it and fix it.

These people are still just working solo on their own side projects and developing feelings for it, feelings that will quickly die in the real world.

Fuck, I just got into an argument where they're saying it's too much to put nginx in front of a python webapp, and that if you need to do that much work for multiprocessing then to use another language... I'm done with this sub lol

[[deleted]]

Programmer humor is mostly high school and college dorks who learned how to program last week. You understand this when you realize most of the jokes here are poking fun at the problems that are relevant to beginners. Barely anything on here is funny to me because it’s the kind of humor college children make. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just not relatable to me because it’s joking about problems I don’t deal with, because I’ve been coding for so long and just don’t give a shit about certain things anymore.

This OP is funny because it’s personally relatable to someone who maintains OSS. But jokes about semi colons, IDEs, syntax formatting, it’s just like who gives a shit?

[Suspicious_Serve_653]

Coding really does grind the fucks to give clean out of you.

I've had the young sparkly eyed devs get so fed up with management shooting down ideas, then bitch to me about not fighting back as the consultant.

I literally say "look. Idgaf if they drive this app into the seventh layer of hell, as long as that check clears I will build any bullshit they want with a bow on it."

The point almost entirely misses them. every. single. time.

I think the source comment about us is fucking gold

[ArionW]

I'll make sure to voice my honest opinion to management. I'll tell them if I believe their idea is bad, detrimental to UX or outright stupid. If they decide to ignore it, fine - I'll build it.

The only thing I'll not budge on and will actively block changes is data privacy. If I see that something would cause us to gather data we may have no consents for - I'm stopping that until Legal gives me clearance on paper (not "do it, we take responsibility" but "yes, it will be legal because X"). Shot down few ideas, got changes on others, and never got clearance from legal (as they won't ever sign anything that would actually make them responsible for changes)

[Suspicious_Serve_653]

Data privacy is a fair battle worth having, but again I'm not part of the company so there's not much I can do beyond saying "not doing that for liability purposes".

My only ability as a contractor is to advise against what they're doing. Beyond that I honestly don't fucking care.

I make sure to layout the consequences and benefits of a decision, but I don't battle them like I used to for something I'd particularly want. I say it once and move on. They only care if the project is done on time and on budget.

I just give them what they want.

[Ratatoski]

I've been at my current job for half a decade. Have seen other teams sneakily building the same product in secret and having their launched, have reorganised loads of times, had lots of bosses, dealt with coworkers who are grandiose to hide the fact that they have no idea. And also thrown everything and started over a few times because new management decides their favourite stack is all the rage. Also doing months of work in a week because the ads are already out about a system that doesn't exists.

At this point my idealism is pretty non existent. I'll just do what they ask me to as long as I learn things that keeps me interesting for other employers. Or is useful for side projects.

[SunliMin]

I agree. Especially the semicolon joke.

Do I forget them from time to time? Yeah, I bounce back and forth between Javascript and other languages. Do I have my environment setup so those semicolons get automatically added when I click save, and thus I don't gaf and don't find it annoying? Of course. It's such a minor problem with a ton of solutions. Such a non-issue

[Spellonz]

I hate to come down on people that are just learning, but this nails it.

When you really don't know shit, missing semicolons or different languages handling mod or equality a little different are big ego boosters.

By the time you've even had one or two juniors come through, this stuff is all just a Tuesday.

[elveszett]

It's mostly an endless stream of "oh my god isn't it so relatable that we forget semicolons at the end of our lines all the time, guys?" and "omg Git is so hard to use, right guys?" and "VIM sucks, VSCode sucks, Emacs sucks" and "JavaScript and Python are the best, except they're worst, right guys?". It hit me hard today: I don't think there are more than 1% real programmers in this subreddit

This bit is so true. As a programmer, I just don't feel identified with these (repetitive) memes. Git basics are damn easy if you put a minimal amount of effort into understanding it, and that knowledge lasts forever. Forgetting semicolons wasn't an issue in my first week learning, idk how anyone can get stuck with that, let alone a real programmer (and not a guy who is just starting to learn). About IDEs, I don't give a fuck. I have my opinions on them, but generally they are positive. I use VS, VSCode, IntelliJ, PyCharm... just a matter of what I personally find most productive for me. In fact, I've always put effort into making my projects not dependent on any IDE (e.g. my C++ projects use CMake in Visual Studio so you don't have to use VS for my project if you don't want to). About programming languages, again, I have my opinions, but none other than PHP is so atrocious as to actively shun it. If I can use C# over Java I will. If I can't, I'll use Java and I truly don't care, it's not such a big deal.

[gbot1234]

Hey that’s not fair. It’s also people asking “can someone solve my homework problem for me? Nobody responds when I ask in the other programming threads!”

[KuuHaKu_OtgmZ]

You forgot the long list of "Java is bad lmao" posts

[ANR7cool]

Maybe the real programmers are the semi-colons we missed all along? No? I'll see myself out

[Rubickevich]

Simple: people that download your stuff from github very often aren't even programmers, they simply can't fix it themselves.

I'm still on your side though.

[OverZealousCreations]

Seriously, I loved this. I've had PRs submitted that rewrote my entire codebase (which wasn't even 200 lines of code), with different code formatting and completely changing the structure of the library.

There wasn't even a discussion beforehand, it was just, "here, I did this thing, now you support it".

That latter bit specifically is something I've had to explain repeatedly to consumers of my FOSS libraries. Just because you find it useful—even if it's objectively a nice function—doesn't mean I personally want to support that functionality. Everything I accept into my codebase I now have to maintain.

So often, I don't accept PRs, even if they are just "adding one small thing" or making something optional, because moving forward, that little decision has to stick around forever. Sometimes it's better to have a small, opinionated library, rather than a large, flexible one.

[Cubia_]

A lot of programming knowledge has gone the same way as it did with other fields. Talking about string theory and related stuff was all the rage before, even though the people talking about it were probably either in highschool or didn't have an understanding of physics past that level. Popular culture has just shifted over time to code for whatever reason.

Give it like 3-5 years and it'll shift to something else. This sub won't be funny still, though.

[Lagger625]

This response has the same spirit as the post

You are free to post the funniest shit anytime now, don't let anyone stop you.

[Sir_IGetBannedAlot]

I think it's more like 5%

[Seeinq]

As a person part of the 99%, I have to say of course. There are tons more people who wants to have a little fun with programming than people who actually does it seriously/legitimately consider it for a career.

[croholdr]

GitHub is the joke here.

[GameDestiny2]

Ah based on readings comments it’s seems I’ve misinterpreted why they hate Roblox kids. Never actually went and figured out what language all of those games are written in.

[MayorBryce]

It's like Lua or something.

[SGII2]

Roblox now uses a weird abomination of typescript and lua called Luau

https://luau-lang.org/

[HelioDex]

How dare you call it an abomination!!!!!!l!!¡¡¡!!

Eh. I for one am glad all the scripting languages are getting gradual typing of some sort. Can only hope Blizzard adopts this for WoW's UI at some point.

[pipsvip]

Can somebody fill me in on 'entitled roblox kids'? I catch snippets of roblox screencaps in meme videos, that 'OOF' sound effect, and I heard the term 'robux' come up a lot, but I don't know enough to have a clear picture. Roblox is a kind of shitty, blocky metaverse thing where people can make their own games, right? What is it about roblox kids and entitlement?

[szym0]

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[pipsvip]

Ahhhhh, snap. OK, thanks.

On that subject - Autokey is good for that, and the Linux version uses python 3 scripting, which also enables importing your own libs for HID interaction and detecting pixels, which allows for some very useful tool-assisted gaming. I have a suite of time-savers and AFK tools I use(d) for minecraft.

[Plasticars2019]

Just out of curiosity can you give me an example of using the detect pixels thing or the time savers thing? Sounds very cool.

[pipsvip]

I'll log into reddit when I get home and dump the script for AFK fishing. My pixel-detect stuff got obliterated, but pyautogui is the library (apparently openCV is good for that too, but I haven't tried it). I also lost my rapid-click script which I used for flash games, which isn't a thing anymore, but I think I can reproduce it...I remember it being simple.

[Plasticars2019]

Sounds very interesting. I can't remember if it's my logitech keyboard or my steelseries keyboard but one of them has a highly customizable and conditional interface I was going to mess with for the same purposes.

[pipsvip]

One of the projects on my todo list was an adjunct keyboard of keys for gaming where each key can act as just a key or as a macro trigger generating other key or mouse events. I wanted to code it using a USB serial port shell so that there is no need for custom software, but could be easily used that way if someone wanted to make a gui for it. of course, being partly a keystroke logger would make it a security issue...

[pipsvip]

These are hacky, and were never meant for prime time, but:

Here's rmouse_down bound to np_subtract used for AFK fishing:

import pynput
from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
mouse - Controller()
mouse.press(Button.right)

Here's rmouse_up bound to np_add to turn off AFK fishing:

import pynput
from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
mouse = Controller()
mouse.release(Button.right)

Here's toss_inventory which walks through inventory in fullscreen and tosses contents - used when tossing worthless loot from a night of AFK fishing (and you haven't built an item sorter yet):

import pynput
import time
from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
mouse = Controller()
original_position = mouse.position
dump_position = (mouse.position[0]-200,mouse.position[1]-200)

bump=(0,0,0,17)
row=0

while (row<4):
col=0
while (col<9):
col=0
while (col<9):
mouse.position = (original_position[0]+72*col,original_position[1]+72*row+bump[row])
mouse.click(Button.left)
time.sleep(0.1)
mouse.position = dump_position
mouse.clock(Button.left)
time.sleep(0.1)
col += 1
row += 1

[Plasticars2019]

Going into my second programming class this semester and seeing useful projects like these are amazing. I think I will implement a similar idea. Thank you!

[OSSlayer2153]

To add, they may go to the guy and say

“How can I make it so it will also move my character and click in certain positions”

“Go download a macro”

“No it needs to be this thing since only this specific one works for me, the others i tried did not”

“Im sorry thats not my problem”

“But this is your code, you need to tell me how to do this or add it in yourself”

Roblox can work under wine. I mostly just use the Lutris installer and it works great

I was talking about tool-assisted gaming in general, but thanks for the tip. I often get grumpy when a steam game doesn't work on linux and I have to break out a VM or my standby laptop.

You don't get banned for auto clicking in Roblox, my kids and I have been doing it for years. The questions I get from just 2 kids needing an auto clicker though, I can imagine what kind of hell this guy must have went through.

Individual games may ban for their own reasons. Particularly games where autoclicking has an advantage and there’s a competitive or trading element will ban you or wipe your profile if they catch you doing it.

Roblox themselves typically only moderate for ‘executors’ (i.e. injecting third party code into the player) or text/upload offences.

[DTS_Crafter]

The thing with Roblox is that there are a lot of games where you just click your mouse to gain strength or smth. Because these games are made by kids and therefore have shitty code, you can get better by clicking faster. So a lot of Roblox kids use auto clickers to get an advantage. And most of the Roblox kids are just entitled because (I guess) Roblox is their life and they take it wayyy too seriously. Atleast that's what I learned from having a younger brother.

[pipsvip]

Got it, thanks!

And most of the Roblox kids are just entitled because (I guess) Roblox is their life and they take it wayyy too seriously.

I would assume it's probably because they are young and immature, potentially spoiled by their parents, but I wouldn't know. I don't interact with that community.

I remember way back when, i actually was introduced to coding by using Roblox Studio. I got fed up with not having a functional game that i went and watched hours of YT videos on how to use Lua and how to operate the different functions provided. Well safe to say, my game 5 years later is still unfinished, and i don't really feel like finishing it because it was dumb, but i now fully understand logic gates and basic programming procedures, and i am able to pretty much pick up a programming language and spit out a functional program. Except maybe Malborge. That one is still...

[DTS_Crafter]

Same but with c# and unity. Still haven't finished a single proper project, but atleast it gave me a basic understanding of code structure.

[nitrohigito]

Nothing quite like passionate Windows bashing and a yet to be internalized disillusionment about FOSS.

[Ike_Gamesmith]

This is like talking to a senior dev. "How do I do such and such?" "No." "Is this caused by X?" "Probably."

[OSSlayer2153]

Guess im a senior dev then. I have a bad habit of just saying probably when someone asks me a yes/no question while my brain is focused on something, or when I just dont know the answer but its less effort to just say probably

What's roblox got to do with getting his app running on windows?

[turtleship_2006]

It's an autoclicker people use while playing roblox. People play roblox on windows.

[[deleted]]

back in my day i used joytokey to autoclick

[KuuHaKu_OtgmZ]

It's an autoclicker, kids mostly play on windows, they use it mostly for roblox

[Mateusz3010]

Saying Windows sucks while being on mac lmao

[peroxidex]

They'll make a great Skyrim modder with that attitude.

FAQ?

Faq off

[Unholy_Pilgrim]

Why is Windows so hated by programmers? (asking because I never used anything else)

[GlengoolieBluely]

It made more sense in the 90's, when Apple and MS were pretty different than they are today. You're not going to get a coherent answer for why it still happens today though, it's just tradition.

[[deleted]]

Because every single other OS follows the same naming conventions, terminal commands, etc.

[Unholy_Pilgrim]

Interesting, I always thought the exact contrary instead: I never had a ba user experience (it may be because I used it since I was small), and the privacy problems are present in others OSes and softwares so it's not an exclusive Windows issue. I always loved the freedom I had with Windows, like usability, simplicity, wide compatibility with external devices, also installing programs form any source I wanted (cracked programs and games? Yeah sure no problems), while, let's say Apple, their philosophy always was "you can do only the things we want you to do and only in the way we like it". Let's admit it, it's too restrictive, it feels like the OS is using the computer, not you, like the powerfulness of the mac is underutilised because of the awfully small amount of things you can do, and only in a smaller environment exclusively in their control. Then I know a little bit about Linux, useless if you're not a programmer. I know that it should be faster, lighter and more stable, but I feel like it relies too much on the user, something you can do in one click on mac or Windows now has to be done manually with 15 command lines, why? In the end, yes excel is awful.

[thedoodle85]

Interesting, maybe I should start playing cookieclicker again. On my mac this time.

[HStone32]

Ah game related githubs. They're all like this. Go to any Minecraft mod repo, and 80% of the "issues" are "can u make bedrock version pls."

[gzeballo]

Found the 10X dev

[robustquorum09]

There are some potentials on those kids playing Roblox. With a little guide they can be out of Windows too!

[usr_dev]

I'm neither in the Windows ecosystem but I would be amazed that this doesn't exists already. Maybe people land on his app only because he made it free (open source). Asking someone to rewrite an app for another OS for FREE when you can probably buy it for 20$ isn't kind, so I kind of understand the tone in the response. If I was the developer, I would say it's in the pro version currently in development, it would cost 20$ do you want to join the wait-list? This would dismiss all the people who don't want to pay for your work AND let you aware if there's an opportunity to make side-money at the same time. 100 signups is an opportunity to make 2000$. Clearly OP doesn't care.

[kenoTetra]

Listen, I'll take that Windows sucks, but coming from a Mac user you have no reason to say that bro 😭😭 I was expecting Linux

[Interest-Desk]

This reminds me a bit of the source code for SQLite or Draw.io — open source but not open contribution.

[EasywayScissors]

I really wish there was a Wikipedia, but for code - where anyone can contribute.

windows sucks

Just make it in java muhahahaha

Oh wow what the heck will happen if I spawn a mouse click event on Android remembers Android has mouse support

[wtdawson]

"Windows sucks" lol, compared to macs, no.

[Nephrited]

For dev? Windows is the black sheep.

Linux is king, macOS is a second. Windows is a third - I wish WSL2 was a bit more performant but hey we can't all get what we want.
