  • Ok i get it, it’s best practice to do rushed releases without QA because users are the free testers.

    You literally used the wrong version. As I stated: the app you’re talking about clearly states it does not have a stable release for the version of nextcloud you’re running.

    They definitely had no way to know that their own app was incompatible

    They knew, and told you, right on the app page

    Idiot user who believed their newsletter "update now, hub 9 is the best thing ever

    You said it, not me. I tried being nice but that really is what happened: you fell for what the marketing team wrote and skipped basic IT steps in doing so. Now, rather than just admit you made a mistake that a LOT of people have made (including me, I’m a fucking idiot too) you are whining and doing your best to me talk gymnastics this into you being a victim of something

    How you managed to convince your IT department of anything with a knowledge that shallow and an attitude like that I’ll never know. Grow up.


  • then a bit of warning is suggested

    Which was given by the app that gets broken by the update

    Windows doesn’t tell you that upgrading to 11 will break x, y, and z that you have installed, you’re expected to go to the sites for those programs and check if they work. Same exact idea

    The same company making both apps is never a guarantee that they’ll play nice day 1, for many reasons

    I’ll repeat: learn from your mistake instead of blaming other people for your naivete. If an app is important and might break during an update of something: check the apps documentation to see if it supports said update


  • Literally just googled “nextcloud forms” and looked at their supported versions and whaddya know, it says right on that webpage that there’s no stable version for 30 yet, so safe bet would be that it wouldn’t properly work when upgrading:

    There is a supported nightly build, though, so you could probably have tried that

    It’s on you to look up what will break when you update, or to test and see what happens when you do. A major update page isn’t going to list all of the things that rely on it that break because that’s fucking unreasonable


  • I’m starting to see a pattern in those comments like “why did you wear a skirt that night? It looks like you asked for it…”

    Cute victim mentality, but gross and insanely wrong comparison

    Learn from your mistake and don’t update without testing next time, it’s 100% on whoever updates the production environment to make sure that shit isn’t broken for whatever reason before pushing it customer-side

    It’s more like you bought a random white powder from your dealer without asking what it was and are now upset you almost died


  • This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use

    No, and it even says so in the article

    She quit about 5 months before her death when transplants require 6-12 months of sobriety. She was drinking regularly with the fucked up liver before that diagnosis, and liver damage isn’t something that just suddenly appears.

    She kept drinking despite what would have been intense cramping pain and a slow death, thats why she was denied (addiction) and ultimately died

    Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol

    And as the article also says it’s incredibly dangerous for someone to get a live-donor transplant when they’re in bad shape like she was, as failure of that means they’ll need to let her die on-table or transplant a good dead one into her (which she was denied for, due to her drinking)

    It’s sad, but this woman died to alcohol abuse, pure and simple











  • 1 DOA CPU that the physical store I went to purchase it at didn’t have any more of so I got a cheaper Intel CPU they DID have. Tbh that might have been the store dropping it or storing it improperly, they weren’t a very competent electronics store.

    And a Sapphire GPU that only worked with 1 very specific driver version that wasn’t even on their website anymore when I tried to install it for some reason. I eventually got it working after hours of hunting and fiddling, which was repeated when I gave the PC away to a friend’s little brother and they wiped it without checking the driver versions I left behind like I told them.

    Recently built my wife a new AMD based system because grudges have to end eventually and I think I couldn’t have picked a better time tbh




  • I’ve been pretty happy with my swap to Proton lately, but this makes me nervous.

    Not that I hate AI or crypto, but their mail app, the thing they’re known for, is not feature complete on all platforms. I still cannot set or edit filters on mobile, for example.

    If your flagship app is missing basic features that users have reported for months but you just keep rolling out new shit, it starts to feel like too much like Google, yakno?
