Light IDE Theme

True story : I put Visual Studio Code on light theme when exploring the themes available, and was temporarily blinded for 0.1 seconds.
Right on. Especially nailed stack overflow. That platform is seriously messed up and needs a serious redesign of their voting system. It's as hostile as a war zone. I hate the users and the platform with all my heart.
I remember creating an account to post a question, then when someone answered me, I could not upvote it nor accept it because I had no fame/reputation or whatever the name of their system is. I mean, I guess this avoids people creating dummy accounts to mess the votes, but I was very shocked that someone took their time to explain things to me and I couldn't do anything other than comment "thank you".
That's weird. Even unregistered accounts can accept (i.e. give the green tick) to an answer. There is a time limit of 15 minutes, but after that you can accept another user's answer.
Well, I remember getting answered pretty damn fast, and quickly went to my question to see the answer. Maybe I was stuck on that timebox! You mean that we have to wait 15 minutes after the person posted the answer?
The inability to upvote was kinda sad, though.
It's 15 minutes after you ask. There is a big problem with voting "fraud", so making voting a privilege is part of slowing that down.
Yes, that is definitely a fair reason. I just didn't know what was happening (probably didn't read something that I should have 😅). I just managed to log in again on my Stack Overflow account (took longer that I expected 😅) and successfully marked that as the solution! Thanks! 😁
Yeah, I remember when I was younger I'd absolutely get pelted for being dogshit at code.
Admittedly some of my questions were actually poor quality, but because of ðat, now I'm at risk of not being able to post again because I got too many "downvotes".
Worse part is ðat it only takes like -7 downvotes to put you at risk, apparently.
Create a new account. Juvenile offences are sealed :)
It should be the norm, to require at least some investigation before being able to post a question because tones of people ask silly things that are well defined already in the docs just for being lazy.
Even that it's true that sometimes mods mark questions as "possible duplicate" without taking the context into account which you need then to explain why it is not a duplicate.
This plus the decadence of SO itself in favour of other platforms like this one lead to a great amount of unanswered questions when they are somehow "advanced level".
I'm glad I have no idea what
/g/ - TechnologyisI guess it's something with Gentoo.... I've seen /g/ mean Gentoo.

i can relate to this so well
I have this on a T shirt with stick figures! My wife got it for me for Christmas a few years ago.
Why it took so long
Just found this :)))
Literally laughed out loud. This. Is. Awesome.
coming soon, under construction...
It's from my blog article of how to report a site that steals your content
Then the ORM probably has more than 2000 lines of code 😂😂
