When I said that Microsoft has a lot to learn from Linux, Ubuntu Server is not what I had in mind 😂

[-] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 15 hours ago

No dev would take a picture of the screen instead of making a screenshot

[-] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 13 hours ago

But what if something pulls a Netflix and blacks out the window when you try to screenshot. The sanctity of the screenshot is ruined, take more pictures.

Aww, I read that as a brilliant:
"Write a short ad...",
...instead of:
"Watch a short ad".

Original wasn't exactly about working for corporate, but rather about consuming their poison, wasn't it?

[-] cbazero@programming.dev 20 points 1 day ago

Microsoft be like 1000000171

[-] frezik@midwest.social 11 points 1 day ago

. . . so, anyway, that's how I became radicalized.

[-] xtools@programming.dev 17 points 1 day ago

people who take camera pictures of their screen instead of doing a proper screenshot should not call themselves developers

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 19 hours ago

I prefer copying the text on the terminal and pasting it, due to most platforms using jpeg compression on png uploads, making written text worse.

*stares at URL*

I think I’m starting to recognize that link

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

gXcQ?

Not for you.

[-] lesnout27@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago

In germany we don't open this link, we say "XcQ der Link bleibt zu." and i think it's beautiful.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 13 hours ago

XcQ the link stays blue

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago

I see you're no stranger to love

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

Obviously, you know the rules and so do I

It’s a recent thing for me. I think XQC (think that’s a streamer) and the end of this link is XcQ with an upper case W just before. I don’t think I’ll never not notice now.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

I always heard "if it's XcQ, the link stays blue"

[-] villainy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

"I see you XcQ" or "XcQ I see you". It's not the best mnemonic but it has served me well

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 day ago

I remember the video code by its start and end; dQ..cQ

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 67 points 1 day ago

You can take a screenshot by pressing "WIN - SHIFT - S" :)

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I used all my free screenshots for the month, I don't have Windows+

[-] 7355608@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

Gotta watch an ad before it'll work. And another one to post it.

We work as software engineers and my colleague works on a particular application for one of our clients and I shit you not the following happens regularly.

  • Colleague emails client with a change log for the latest publish.
  • Client prints off the email and annotates it with a pen.
  • Takes a photo of the printed out email.
  • Attaches it to his reply.
[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 day ago

They have this work flow and they still don't have a scanner‽

[-] ms5K8oWx@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

It's much faster to take a photo and immediately send it by email, or transfer it via bluetooth/airdrop to your computer.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

This is probably preferable to when something is written with a "pen" tool and a mouse, so you have mspaint style handwriting.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

You can also press “Print Screen”

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

but i don’t want to print my screen, i just want a picture of it.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

In KDE I hotkeyed Super+PrtSc to run flameshot gui, so I can instantly get very good custom screen shots that I can annotate or whatever if I want. Then Alt+Super+PrtSc takes a screenshot of both displays and saves it to a custom folder

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Or Win + PrntScrn to make an auto saved file.

[-] finkrat@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

And now it's time to secure erase your SSD before it sees the light of day

[-] choccymalk@piefed.social 37 points 1 day ago

Don’t you fucking put that anywhere Microsoft might see. They’ll do it.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 18 points 1 day ago

I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.

The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.

[-] finkrat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That's a strange way to get rickrolled

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Windows
npm
Ad

That calls for a month of vacation with edibles and pizza with weed for the munchies. Everything so I don't remember.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

First I have to drink a verification can, and now this??!!

[-] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Don't forget to stand up and say MCDONALD'S.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 13 points 1 day ago

I know that URL.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago
[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago
[-] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago

Never gonna try that up.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I know XcQ when I see it.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My colleagues have fancy terminal applications with fancy backgrounds, so I thought the reflection was a cool frosted glass transparency effect, at first.

And with the amount of memes being sent across throughout the day, I reckon if it were silly videos, they would eat that up.

Also : watch a video while that command runs? "Fuck yeah", they'd say!

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If you are opening a text shell on windows you deserve it. Wsl should just send you to a gulag instead.
