If you don’t kill your own meat I think you’re pathetic.

After mods, bans, and shadow bans, we have shadow mods. We should have expected it.

Not Gandi. They were very reliable since the beginning of the internet but they sold the company and went downhill since.

But it’s fine, it’s not my first time on the internet.

One of them sent me a private message:

your grandfather was a nazi scumfuck that deserves to die

Nice people.

And my grandfather was not German, he lived in an actual communist country and hated it.

First, every company uses Windows, you can’t avoid this and you’ll have to learn how to use all the tools (Visual Studio, Office365, everything else). Yes it sucks, no you can’t use another OS if you want to eat.

As for why .NET and C#: my shitty theory is that companies used to write software in C++. Then Java came along but it was not evolving fast enough, and Oracle was suing the whole planet. Microsoft invented C# to annoy everyone (both C++ and Java) and it worked because C# is actually a good language. You have a big SDK, you can do everything that Java does, it’s easier than C++, and you can use your C++ code with C++/CLI. C# was a good alternative and people used it.

Do you think enterprises will make a turn in this attitude?

C++ is too hard (I know, I use it daily), and Java is dead. I don’t think companies who use C# will go back to using an older language. That would be suicidal.

Never heard of him, he must not have been very successful.

I’ve never experienced any slowness with Firefox, so I don’t know what people are talking about. But Chrome is still the default browser on Android and I guess it’s the major reason why people are installing Chrome on their computer.

I didn’t want him to win by showing my anger.

Thanks. It’s a bit difficult to work for a sane company now due to what I got in the past but I’m recovering.

It’s usually 3 month for most white collar jobs and it goes both ways so you can take the time to find a new job.

Of course you can still be fired instantly for huge mistakes but it’s difficult to prove for them which is why I’ve never seen it used.

It was my petty revenge instead of telling him that he was an asshole and a mediocre manager.

Playboy Magazines 1953 - 2013 [pdf] (73 GB) on TPB?

With the 2 pictures on https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines, the guy is either a 4chan troll, or a person that I would not enjoy having as a friend.

First, piracy is not illegal everywhere, and a personal copy is the most legal way in almost every country to archive what you have bought.

As for the morality of it, it’s your problem, not mine.

And the most important question is: What can I do when whole countries do not sell their music or TV shows? I’m thinking of Poland or Japan for example. I cannot legally buy media from those countries because they don’t care about foreign customers. How can they lose money if they don’t sell anything?

If you want a concrete example that happened to me yesterday: I want to buy a subscription to https://pilot.wp.pl/tv/. I want to give my money yet they refuse it. What can I do?

The guy is scanning eyeballs for a living, I don’t believe he has any respect for a small text file in your web server.
