Hi @MikeTheLiar!
Every Microsoft OS is generally well liked. The moment the next one comes out.
And straight from the horse's mouth:

Everything that could be fucked up, was fucked up. It's a miracle they didn't physically blow up the servers while they were at it.
You know the fucking answer to that question. Stop being dense.
Yeah, it's called "the asshole UI design". Like the toolbars that have to have an opt-out option, so they go out of the way to hide it from the user.
Nope. Looks like you're out $0.
And you're so fucking proud of this, aren't you?
We could totally tell because:"wait a second, no regular user annoys me like this"
Oh, right. On meta.d, the root of all evil is TDWTF. Every bad thing said about our software, every impolite remark is TDWTF. We were always at war with TDWTF.
"also something I object to, they make the most annoying bug reports. I will type a whole bunch of annoying irrelevant stuff, then maybe get to the point by the end, if ever"
Which doesn't change the fact that you people got more out of this community than you ever deserved. It was all fine in beta, when you had some realization your software was buggy - but then 1.0 rolled, then a few "stable" versions that ended up still having showstopping bugs (how many ways to XSS your shit have we found in your purportedly stable software?), and you kept lapsing into fucking denial.
"They brag to each other about bans, finding problems with software"
You'd prefer we kept that to ourselves and be content with running a buggy piece of shit? Of course you would, that's the Discourse way. Just smile and wave.
We only brag and laugh about bans because your brand of crazy has desensitized us so much that we can't even get fucking pissed about it. You know they're unwarranted, you know if you did that to any other community you'd be fucking Reddit front page stars, you know that you're in fucking denial and no amount of people from here getting banned can fix issues with your software. If anything, you should be fucking thankful that it's us who find those problems and not one of your bigger clients. What would you rather have - a bunch of folks making things spin on your forum, or Cisco pulling their contract because they got hit by the same vulnerability, except this time it was used to steal cookies and run drive-by downloads?
But no. You'd rather cover your eyes and hope the sky doesn't fall down just today. You'd rather engage in childish antics, self-banning from this forum and just purging every single TDWTFer from yours as if it was some kind of katharsis, as if we were the cause of all your problems.
Also you're seriously pissing me off.
And you're pissing me off - both you personally and you as in Discourse team. So since you're on our turf now, I'll tell you one thing, and you can pass it to the rest of the team:
##Go. Fuck. Yourselves.
@xaade said in Mozilla Rebranding Or: How to Waste Several Hundred Thousand Dollars on Awful Graphic Designs:
Not saying this is good at all, but at least you can get an impression from this rough draft I cooked up.

No, no, no. We need a real rebranding. We need to show we're a modern foundation.
The real epidemic in America is not measles, chicken pox, or Hepatitis B.
GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY
Apparently I haven't installed the latest Free Disk Space drivers.
It's a new social gamification feature. You need to watch your topics once each hour so that they don't wither and die, and when they've grown enough you can harvest them for XP and Gold Coins.
The Pope, President of the United States, a coal miner and a little girl are all traveling by plane. As they're enjoying the trip, reading newspapers and drinking coffee, they hear an intercom come up.
"This is your captain speaking" - says the voice. - "We're currently on a collision course with the ground, our engines are down, and we have to evacuate. Unfortunately, there are only three parachutes on board, all of them in the overhead compartment to your left. We only have three minutes until impact, so please hurry and jump out".
Hearing this, the President stands up.
"I'm the President of the United States, the greatest economical and military power in the world! I cannot die here!" - he yells, rushes to the compartment, grabs a parachute and jumps out of the door before anyone can say anything.
The coal miner hesitates for a second, then walks to the compartment and grabs a parachute.
"Forgive me, Father, but... I have a family to feed. If I die, who knows what will happen to them?" - he says, then jumps out of the plane.
The little girl and the pope stand up from their seats and look at each other.
"Father, please take the parachute and jump." - says the little girl quietly.
"Nonsense!" - shouts the Pope. - "I'm a tired old man, my time on this Earth is coming to an end. You need to save yourself, girl."
"Father, please take the parachute and jump." - the girl says again.
"I can't do it. I can't. You have your whole life still in front of you, you can still do amazing things for the world and for God. It's my time. Save yourself."
"Father, please take the parachute and jump" - the girl says yet again. - "That dumb Yankee grabbed my backpack."
You fucking MORON.
You applied for the job. You knew what the requirements are. You didn't even fucking bother to fucking Google for some mother-ass-fucking sample interview questions. You fucking lied to your interviewer by claiming you "know Javascript", because you're one of those SO asshats that make the "how do I 2+2 in jQuery" posts and string the answer code together, when you couldn't program your way out of a fucking bucket. And then you go the internet and go "waaah, that's not fair, I went to an interview and got asked a hard question!"
Well guess what, if you can't even make a simple motherfucking for
loop in Javascript, you're a completely worthless frontend dev. Unless the 90s call and ask for their fucking static HTML4 webpages back.
Fuck.
Why limit yourself to commits? When you commit, your code is already old and obsolete. I propose syncing TDWTF with @sam's text editor.
The canPlayType() method can return one of the following values:

@XanderTheGamer said in Some drunk guy comprimised Classic Shell's official download:
It overwrites your MBR, guys.
To be fair, it is a very classic shell experience.

You are Discourse-aligned. Your goal is to use the daily banning to remove all uncivilized threats, ensuring that nobody can stop Discourse from becoming the forum platform for the next 10 years.
You are TDWTF-aligned. Your goal is to take control of the forum, such that you cannot possibly be eliminated, and cause Discourse to fade into obscurity. To aid you with your goal, your faction is awarded a nightly XSS exploit on a selected user, causing them to become self-banned and no longer welcome here. You may discuss your plans in a separate forum with your fellow TDWTFers.
@The_Quiet_One said in The acti.link manifesto:

Hopefully he meant 2^32... otherwise I'm gonna have my hands full depopulating the world down to 1024.
Did you know you can determine an ant's sex by putting it in the water?
If it drowns, it's girl ant.
If it floats, it's buoyant.
That doesn't make any sense. If you have read to the bottom you have already read every post
WRONG. What infuriated me about Discourse's read tracking is that once you enter a long topic at the bottom - say, because someone linked to the bottom-most post in another thread - all those nice unread counters just went and fucked themselves. You wanted to see all the funny stuff in the Funny Stuff Thread, but have a 300-post backlog? Fuck you, either you go out of your way to consciously avoid any links to that thread, or have fun finding your actual position by watching where the blue dots stop appearing.
It's like if you were reading the Bible, and the pastor told you to read a verse from Matthew, only for Jeff Atwood to come over and rip out the entire Old Testament.
There is no topic
But there is, right there on the top of the page. SEE THE WHOLE THREAD IS RUINED.
Status: so, one of the courses at my uni is "Project Management". Or so it's called, because every single lecture takes no more than 15 minutes to devolve into politics or some other inflammatory topic.
Last week, at the last lecture, I've been recognized with an A and exemption from an exam for "activity". Which basically involved engaging in real-life flamewars on any silly subject the lecturer came up with.
Thank you, TDWTF. It would never be possible without you *sniff*
Torvalds said he subscribes to the view that successful projects are 99 per cent perspiration, and one per cent innovation.
That's old fart thinking. Successful projects these days are coming up with the idea, raking in venture capital, and then... well, you have the venture capital, what else do you need? Back my Kickstarter, by the way.

)All these instances are having trouble generating these letter avatars all the time. It's really putting a load on all these instances.
Which wouldn't be a problem if they didn't, well, generate these letter avatars all the time, instead of just doing it once on signup, faking an avatar upload and then treating it just as if it was any other uploaded avatar. But noooo, they went so far out of their fucking way to treat them specially it bit them in the ass in the end. Surprise, surprise.
...okay, that's fine *drags*

JESUS CHRIST I'M SORRY! Don't shout at me!
In my bank, I have a small loan open. When I took it, I got a payment schedule and an advice from the teller that if I wanted to pay the loan off earlier, partially or fully, I should go to the bank and sort it out in person.
However, when I checked my account online, it turned out that the bank does generate a separate account for the loan, with its own number, balance and everything. So I wired a small amount for testing purposes to the account number - and sure enough, the amount due decreased. "Hey, that's convenient" - I thought - "if I ever have a surplus in my budget I can just send it over to that account and get the loan paid off earlier".
And so I did a few times, and it seemingly worked well. Until I visited my family and picked up the mail, including some ten different letters from the bank.
Sure enough, the bank does book the money sent to the account as loan payments (specifically, as paying off the last installment). However, every single transaction requires the bank to generate a wholly new payment schedule, put it in print along with a letter explaining that they booked my payment of one dollar, have someone in the bank sign the letter personally, and then send it over via snail mail. Efficient!

Great Leap Forward, indeed.
There was a joke in Poland back in the days that went something like this:
Comrades! It is true that before the war, our country was standing on the edge of a precipice!
But worry not! We've come here to make a great leap forward!
I find it oddly relevant.

@svieira Wow! Who thought it was a good idea to dump the entire censor list into an error message!?
zogstrip:
Also, we should fix that message. It's very bad UX.
Yep, I agree. It's terrible UX to unexpectedly have a huge list of curse words tossed at you for no discernible reason.
At the very least, something like .split("|").sort.join(", ").
...fuck me.
I'd love to poke fun and ridicule the Discourse team about that, but... It's impossible. It's literally impossible to come up with something more outlandishly stupid than what actually happened. You can't do a "what's next" quip when they've already done the next.
Is that how it's going to work? Make it impossible to mock Discourse by preemptively committing every conceivable mockery themselves?
What was the difference, again?
And bloody hell, how do you fuck up this sort of basic functionality. ComicRocket doesn't forget where I was in the comic if I track a lot of them. Netflix doesn't forget which episode I was on if I track too many of them. My fucking Kindle doesn't forget my place in the book if I track too many of them.
And explaining it as "well you obviously won't read those posts anyway" is a middle finger to the user.
Well, having a domain-attached account meant you couldn't use it. Then again...

Also, that girl in picture below video looks like she was topless. I wonder if that's on purpose.
Well, the very next line of text says,
"Towels have two basic jobs: dry my naked body, and dry itself."
"Um, this towel is terrible. I tried to dry my hands with it and it didn't work, they're still wet."
"Well, were you naked when you were drying your hands?"
"What? No, but..."
"WONTFIX ASDESIGNED, have a nice day."
I don't know if drinking plain water is all that beneficial to you anyway. It makes you less thirsty for proper drinks like coffee and Red Bull, and is a straight route for a potentially fatal caffeine deficiency.
One last Discourse bug
Ah, an optimist, I see.
Confused about which progress control to use, Steam opts for a hybrid approach. It doesn't work well.
@thegoryone said in I fucking hate StackOverflow sometimes:
So do I, but I think this is a positive symptom of building experience as a developer (at least in my case) where I can usually puzzle out how to do things from existing knowledge or official documentation that I certainly couldn't have 4-5 years ago.
I just Google for it, and it lands me on SO more often than not. And then I end up on some RPG.SE question from the sidebar and after three hours I get nothing done anyway, but at least I know you can eat magic grenades in D&D.
"Ju Jitsu? I'm going to learn Ju Jitsu?"
"Yeah. In... Three days, seventeen hours, it says."
"Mister Anderson, what good is a phone call if your mom will get pissed at you for cutting off the Internet?"

@Polygeekery said in Neighbors are TR:
@flabdablet that's the way it should be. For me, it is that way with all but one.
Of course, as I said up thread, if you think your neighborhood does not have one batshit crazy person living there...you are the batshit crazy person.
Or maybe you are just all united in the war against all of the spiders and other flora and fauna that are trying to kill you?
@flabdablet is Australian. Any "neighbours" he might have are merely a figment of his imagination spurring from loneliness.
Oh Jesus, and then she goes ahead and lectures hiring managers on how to conduct interviews. Well guess what bitch, they conduct the interviews the way they do so that they don't end up with the likes of you.
