Make it an abortion kit

Omg such a waste of time that could have been spent scrolling through memes instead of trying to do the right thing.

Would have worked a charm for this particular article

From memory all those were performing well, getting load of attention and be used by “everyone” at the time of their ipo. Particularly google was THE search engine and Facebook was THE social media site.

Reddit has been around forever, most of us left, what does it really have to offer? Keeping in mind that llms have had access to all that data for s long time, I can’t imagine the last 8 months or so of reddit data to be that significant.

Usually companies go public because they have an aggressive plan that requires growth and a massive cash injection. What is spez’s plan if he gets that? I’ll admit I haven’t really followed much, but I doubt reddit had this huge potential. And that’s even if they didn’t alienate their users and nods.

Reminds me those pet food companies going public in the late 90s during the internet bubble.

But they never do that. Musk could have been supping margaritas on a man made island with oompa loompas in a private ocean a long time ago

I already covered your first point, you don’t need to.

As for your second point, autosave still does its job. The fact that you haven’t chosen a name and a folder for your document doesn’t mean that the software hasn’t created one on disk that keeps getting autosaved. When you decide to finally save the document, that file gets renamed and placed where you want it.

I mean this is trivial stuff that got solved a long time ago, I don’t see people on this thread saying I don’t trust electronic payments, I only write checks but somehow everyone think a basic feature is broken everywhere

If current_time > x invoke deper,older code that you somehow trust

Alternatively, more modern implementation suggested by someone else in this thread

At every keystroke, invoke deeper older code that you somehow trust

While not impossible, pretty hard to slip a bug into something like that and if it happens it gets identified,reported and fixed like all bugs. Users tend to be quite vocal about data loss.

Also some software developers tend to overcomplicate things, this is not rocket science

Fair enough obviously a real issue considering that it is not just you but many other in this thread, that are posting the same or upvoting I do wonder what software, or and electricity grid you are all on and if you are typing from a war zone though. It has happened to me too, mind you. Once. It was some sort of word processor, in the 1990s before autosave. Been spending my days on a computer since then for work and hobbies, can’t say I remember a single other occurrence after that.

Fair enough, can agree with that, replace every x minuted with at every keystroke in my precious comment

Edit: previous, but I’m leaving it like that

Or not trusting autosave because they lost a document once in the 80s when autosave didn’t exist, and now they tell everyone to compulsively press ctrl-s because software can be trusted enough to drive a car, but not save a file every minute or so. Bonus point when they introduce themselves as I’m a software developer…

I bought a rooster because I don’t trust my phones alarm to go off in the morning

What does MS say when you report these to them? Is it always the same bug still unfixed or separate issues? Nothing is infallible with software, but note that in ops case autosave was disabled so no mystery “autosave lost my document”, it was just disabled.

And ffs autosave is just a timer that saves the document every x minutes the same way a user would do if they pressed save. I do believe you get many issues reported to you, but I doubt Microsoft autosave is so buggy to cause an unbelievable amount of data loss in a single institution (and I love to shit on MS).

What is wrong whit your computer and why do you say that others should press ctrl-s five times like we were practising magic? Report a bug with the software that you use if it doesnt work, or replace your keyboard

Furthermore, if the laptop randomly reboots for no reason, autosave won’t save you. You just need a tiny bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while saving, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved to disk.

Hardly how file saving works. Else you could say the same about a bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while pressing ctrl-s, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved on disk.

Too many people on this thread seem to see autosave and ctrl-s as two different things, governed by magic and mystery, one of them indispensable to conside nyourself an experienced computer user. It’s the same fucking piece of code, in one case invoked by a timer, in the other one by the end user pressing a key combo.

Op’s issue was that automated was disabled by default. Obviously autosave doesn’t work it it’s disabled.

Why do you trust ctrl-s though? You are a software engineer, you know that a bug in the piece of code that saves the document would affect both calls, regardless of whether its invoked by a timer or by the end user pressing keys, right?

I mean we have all been bitten by op’s problem In the past but it was exactly the same issue, autosave not enabled (most likely didn’t exist) what’s with all these, I don’t trust software to do it’s job so I do things by hand?

Particularly from software developers or other technical users. Found a bug in a piece of software, report it, you don’t need to change your behaviour for the next 20 years and tell everyone anecdotes about you still don’t trust a regression.

Is that because of bugs, or shitty software that you don’t trust autosave? Isn’t it likely that ctrl-s is affected by the same problem and regardless of how compulsively you press the combo, it does in fact nothing?

Note that OPs instance simply had autosave disabled, not really a trust issue

What you have here is another case of Linux users jumping to defend the only things they have to defend, even if it’s absolute shit.

Funny how OP is using libreoffice on Windows though, what’s there Linux-related to defend? Did a Linux user hurt you? If anything this is another opportunity for some snarky comment about Windows being shit and crashing for no reason since the 1990s.

Agree!

I got chickens. It’s great because I couldn’t throw food away, they are happy to complement their diet with whatever the babies drop or don’t eat, and I feel good as it keeps the chooks happy and it contributes to making eggs! Win win.
