This. It needed absolutely nothing added to it. You could write text files, what more did anyone ever need from it? The app was done. It was ready.

This is a concept that is not even in the vocabulary of IT companies these days and I can understand it for complex systems that have dependencies up the wazoo but notepad was just a notepad and that was good enough.

We used to have a nap room (which I actually requested and used often) until we downsized to a smaller office after Covid and we never got it back unfortunately. I mean what can I say, sometimes you just need to take a nice 10-15min power nap to get by. These days I use empty two person meeting rooms for this if the sleepies suddenly start hitting real hard. 😂

Funny you should mention, we actually have a PC and VR gear at the office that is free to use on breaks and it has beat saber installed. Unfortunately I can’t play it because I get nauseated easily by VR but I have a few colleagues who play a lot during breaks. 😅

I mean… I’m writing this while at the office “working” so I that seems very valid to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I wish there even was a popcorn button, that at least somewhat implies what it’s for. D:

My current microwave has too damn complicated controls and is full of unnecessary features for me to actually know how to adjust the power so I just go with full power, with 30 second increments because I don’t have the degree necessary to understand anything else. It’s like trying to fly a damn airplane, except worse.

My old microwave had just two dials: one for time, one for power. That was the peak of microwave technology and we should all go back to it. A microwave doesn’t need to do ANYTHING else than just shoot fucking radiation to anything that is put inside it, I don’t know why the hell do they add all these random buttons and just add a picture of a fucking carrot or some shit on it like it’s universally understood what that even fucking means.

Exactly this. The only way this notion gets entertained beyond just straight up dismissal is bribery and corruption.

I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?

Wanna know what’s funny? I work for a company that develops web application for business use. Officially, we claim to support Chrome, Edge (this was pre-chromium Edge but the terms haven’t been updated), Safari and Firefox.

Unofficially? Most of us only test in Chrome and call it a day. I’m literally the only one in the company actively testing Firefox first, and then MAYBE checking if Chrome works. Because 99.99% of the time if it works on Firefox it works on Chrome.

Now, that has at times brought some problems to light that would have been undetected since from what I’ve understood, Chrome is big enough to start introducing ways of doing things that are not officially part of any standard and just… brute force their way to make it de facto standard. But each and every time someone tries to get away with using breaking non-standard things, it usually gets caught because I’m apparently the only one left who actually gives a fuck about the promises made to customers, as well as the web diversity. Even if we are a small company with a website that gets used mostly by Chrome users, I’m looking out to that 1% or whatever the most recent statistics for our user base was.

But I did also mention Safari is supported. That’s a different beast and I don’t think anyone in our company tests on that, since it’s mainly windows PCs all around. I had a chance to get a new work laptop just recently but didn’t dare to go for a Mac because our test automation code base might have still some windows dependencies and I didn’t wanna start dealing with those just yet, but next time I probably will. On another, newer project I work on I’ve picked Playwright as the test automation framework which has capability for testing on Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, so that should at least be covered. The legacy projcet could maybe be ported on that as well (currently using selenium on that one) but it’s a big hassle and there’s no way I’ll get the green light from higher ups to do so without proper justification and proof that it would improve something.

But yeah, when ever I test manually and go elbow deep into it? It’s Firefox first and whatever I have time for afterwards. It’s worked so far, can’t see why I would need to stop doing it this way now.

Actually the more I think about it the more it seems like the only, legally fair decision. Either all of them are demanded to allow alternative app stores or none of them are. Why should the consoles be any different in this regard? 🤔

Reminded me of a Finnish rock group called Leningrad Cowboys. They were big over here I think when I was a kid at least.

Vaikka se on vastaus edelliseen kommenttiin, se ei poista sitä tosiasiaa että se viittaa silti samaan aikaan edelliseen kappaleeseen. Ei se konteksti nyt oikeasti muuta tätä mitenkään paremmaksi tai vähemmän pahaksi vaikka miten kovasti sitä yrittäis spinnaa.

Siltä vaikuttaisi, tuossa itsekin hieman tutkiskelin asiaa. Ilmeisesti tuo lasketaan kuitenkin 12 vuorokaudeksi tuo Oeschin pesti ja Junnilan pesti lasketaan 11 vuorokaudeksi. Joka tapauksessa, ennätys on nähtävästi rikottu.

Jo oli aikakin. Ihmettelen syvästi että kesti näinkin kauan.

Mietiskelin myös, sattuuko kukaan tietämään mikä on suomalaisten ministerien historiassa lyhyin aika mitä kukaan on toiminut ministerinä? Meneekö tää lähelle jo jotain ennätystä?
