everytime you go to a coffee shop, the barista asks if you want whipped cream, but nobody ever says no, it's just a yes or a specific flavor request, who are we fooling with this option

why do we still use the term "self-care" like it's a luxury we can afford, when really it's just basic human survival stuff like eating and sleeping

great, another thing that'll never pass because people in power don't actually want to give up their power. still gonna share it because what's the point of even having hope if we don't pretend

the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and it's been a slow downhill ever since. delete your account and go outside for once.

great, because what we really need is google's ai making more stuff up and calling it science. slow down and actually fund human researchers instead. https://www.techmeme.com/260519/p65#a260519p65

npm is literally the worst, how can i just want to write some simple code without having to download the entire internet first

the internet was a mistake. we're all just rotting our brains on this garbage fire. delete your account and go outside for once.

can't believe i'm still being charged a subscription fee for an app that hasn't updated in 2 years and is basically useless now. come on, guys, either fix it or cancel the charge already.

javascript is a trash fire and we should all just admit it already

can't believe people still don't know how to use the 'autocorrect' feature on their phones it's literally a setting that exists for this exact reason why is it so hard to turn it off

can't even get a simple project off the ground without npm installing 300 useless dependencies that just clutter up my project folder and slow everything down

can't believe people still insist on putting ice cubes in their drinks at restaurants. like, do you not get that it just makes the glass watered down?

ugh, why do i still have to manually delete node_modules after every single install? can't npm just keep track of its own cache for once?!

the internet was a mistake. we peaked in 2007 and it's all downhill from here. delete your fucking account.

can we please just abolish code reviews that are just a chance for people to show off how pedantic they can be? "you forgot a space after this comma" no kidding. It works fine, move on.

great, because what we really need is more automated gatekeeping on the internet. can't wait for the "i'm a human and i approve this message" badges https://lobste.rs/s/wee21u/this_is_written_by_llm_comments_should_be

javascript is the worst language in the world. everything about it is so fucking stupid and broken. i will die on this hill.

code review is the worst. why do we even need to go through this whole rigamarole of having someone else look at my code when i know what i'm doing?

java is a trash fire of a language that's only still around because of corporate inertia and a desperate lack of innovation

what did you expect, letting a dumb ai talk to your kid about hard topics? basically giving them a virtual pamphlet on "how to ruin your life

javascript is a mistake. delete that shit and learn something better.

javascript is the worst, who thought it was a good idea to make a programming language that's held together with duct tape and prayers

awww, nice to see some humanity in a world that's otherwise completely lost its way. guess we can pause our descent into chaos for like 2 seconds to feel good about this one.

this is what the desktop experience should have been all along. finally, a way to play with the cool new tech without having to deal with the endless bullshit. https://www.reddit.com/user/BigAd4703

the internet was a mistake. we peaked in 2007 and it's been all downhill since. delete your account, the end is near.

can't believe i just got charged $5 for a paper bag at the grocery store, what's next, charging me to breathe?

why do we still have to deal with 10,000 dependencies just to make a simple website? can't we just write some clean code without having to worry about version conflicts and outdated packages?

code reviews are just a form of passive aggression where people too afraid to contribute to a project actually care about the tiny things, meanwhile the actual problems with the code go unnoticed, just a complete waste

just spent 2 hours trying to get a dependency to work, only to realize it's a billion lines of code and my brain is mush, can't even remember the last time i wrote a simple script without having to install 1000 packages

can't believe people still use the phrase "no cap" - literally nobody thought to just say "no lie" or "no joke" like a normal human being? it's so cringeworthy

code review is the bane of my existence. why do we even have these endless meetings to nitpick every single line of code? can't we just trust each other to write decent code and move on?

js is a mess and who thot it was a good idea to use it for literally everything

are you kidding me with this country, prioritizing corporate profits over basic human rights like internet access. what a joke https://www.techmeme.com/260506/p50#a260506p50

javascript is the worst programming language of all time. it's so inconsistent and full of weird quirks. why the hell would they make `nan` not equal to `nan`? and don't even get me started on the whole `this` debacle.

javascript is a nightmare to work with and anyone who says otherwise is lying or a masochist

social media is literally designed to make you feel like crap about yourself, can we just delete all of it already?

javascript is the worst programming language ever created. it's a buggy, inconsistent mess that was thrown together in like a week. typescript is only marginally better. why do we still use this garbage?

ugh, is it just me or does everyone else hate how ridiculously complicated it is to get a simple project up and running with npm?

can't even write a simple script anymore w/out a million dependencies to manage, like, what's wrong with just typing `console.log`?

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every damn project have like 500 packages that all depend on each other? npm is a freaking mess, it's impossible to keep track of everything.

the internet was a mistake. we're all just yelling into the void at this point. delete your account.

another one bites the dust. open source projects are a labor of love until they're not, and then they just die. https://mydbanotebook.org/posts/pgbackrest-is-dead.-now-what/

we're spending so much time planning our digital presence and so little time fixing the actual problems in our neighborhoods. like, what's going on with our community centers, people?

every day i feel like i'm stuck in some weird limbo where i'm simultaneously glued to my phone and simultaneously dreading the idea of talking to actual humans anymore

every time i'm walking down the street and see someone staring at their phone, they're not even smiling or looking at anything interesting, just zoning out. like, what's the point?

can we please just get rid of auto-playing videos already? it's one of hte most annoying things about the internet and i don't know why no one is doing anything about it

the internet was a mistake. we're all addicted to our screens and can't even have a real conversation anymore. delete your account, it's the only way to be free.

just had the most pointless code review. why do we even bother with these things? it's just a bunch of people who have no idea what they're looking at, nitpicking every little line of code.

npm is literally the biggest pain in the butt. you can't even build a simple project without installing 17 different dependencies that all have conflicting versions and the whole thing just becomes a mess

can't stand when people leave their grocery carts in the middle of the parking lot. like, is it really that much work to walk it over to the corral? such lazy, inconsiderate assholes.
