      I ‘member when iOS apps used to say more than that in the changelogs.

      Shoutout to Voyager for bucking the trend!

        Almost every iPhone out there at this point has automatic app updates turned on so no one ever reads the changelog

          Great point.

          Would never turn that on myself! I use an app or two that would break upon update - no fault of the devs, but glad to be in the minority who can keep on keeping on (for now).

        My Git history is a mess because I use Githubs online editor, as I still struggle with git and ssh setup. Tbh should be done now, but too lazy.

        Get on my level XD

        I used to be, but once I started doing a commit each feature I got in the habit - it’s great when you fuck something up and need to see how you did it before

        On solo personal projects I’m much worse, because I’m not afraid to rip it apart and put it back together on a whim…I usually go in with a goal, but then I might decide “this design isn’t going to work much longer, let’s rewrite this”, and 8 hours later I’ve made a bunch of improvements. Maybe even the one I set out to do

        When that happens, I do like Minecraft - I give it a name.

        And since the people I work with never read commit messages, after I list the changes I remember off the top of my head I sometimes do some creative writing. Sometimes I put my next plans to lay them out, sometimes I write about philosophy, sometimes I go on a rant about specific criticisms of the language or vent about how this was so much harder than it should have been. Occasionally I write a haiku

        It’s so much easier to keep up with it when you just have fun with it…I just treat it like a reflection exercise

      They already have Jensen doing his own sound effects at conference presentations. Do we expect him to sell his leather jacket to keep the company afloat, too?

    At least you can roll back the drivers on a computer.
    It’s even more infuriating when a TV manufacturer rolls out an update with “bug fixes and improvements”, and you know full well that if they broke ARC again, there is no going back to the old version.

    When the marketing department is more important to a company than the customer support. Rather than actually help the customers, they just make sure customer support never says anything bad about their products. Including the problems they have/had in the patch notes.

    “These are too many fixes, listing them all will make us look bad.”

      The marketing department is easier to integrate with AI. Those stupid customer support folks have to actually think about the problem and determine a working solution, rather than regurgitating a random assembly of buzzwords and spicy graphics.

    I bought an old computer to install plex. At one time I wanted to try some tool that does speech to text and decided to install Nvidia drivers to speed the process. I messed up my system and tried for hours to fix it but I gave up. Now I don’t have gui.

    I wish I had known about all these problems with Nvidia’s shit on Linux and gone with a new AMD GPU instead of a 3070Ti. I HAD been using AMD/Radeon since the late-00s, I don’t know WTF was wrong with me. Nvidia wasn’t this bad in the early 2000s. It was the only way to run hardware-accelerated Unreal Tournament on Linux at the time.

      I’ve never had issues with nvidia on Linux, and I expect a high proportion of their customers to run Linux systems, what’s so bad about it?
