Someone spilled bird seed this past winter so we decided to see what would grow - Lemmy.World

I think I’d like to go bigger with it next year. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7983c44c-5f20-44df-8b2d-c89c096c0660.jpeg]

I am so fucking sick of writing business web apps - Lemmy.World

I enjoy writing software, but… I’m sick of making yet another fucking CRM. I’m sick of trying to keep data synced between seven different third-party services. I’m sick of trying to pull everything in the database into a single fucking dashboard. I’m sick of trying to stay within a budget that’s based on some wild-ass guesstimates made by someone who quit over a year ago. I’m sick of creating things that will only ever be seen by a couple people in some random companies, and will be enjoyed by nobody.

Has anyone here had success with upgrading a Xamarin project to use Maui? - Lemmy.World

I’m wondering if anyone here has gone through this process, and what the experience was like. (I’m not asking for help with any particular error or anything like that. At least not yet). I got put in charge of maintaining an old codebase that includes Xamarin projects for android and ios and we seem to have run into a situation where we need to update the framework not just for security, but to keep the mobile app fully functional as Apple and Google update their APIs. I did see that there was a button in Visual Studio to automatically upgrade the project, but apparently “upgrade” means “break fuckin’ everything” so I’m guessing I’ll need to take a more manual approcach and also blow a bunch of hours on finding replacements for all the dependencies that required Xamarin and are no longer maintained. My biggest problem is that I haven’t even heard of Xamarin before this thing got dropped in my lap so I have some confusion about how it’s supposed to work on top of my normal baseline amount of confusion.

Google requires developer accounts to be verified (good) so now scammers are trying to hijack legitimate accounts (not so good) - Lemmy.World

This is at least the second email I got asking to “collaborate” on Google Play. Protect your accounts, folks.

Found a tiny, squeaky thing running around under the snow - Lemmy.World

Well, actually my dog found it, but I got a short video.

Stopped getting group texts for some reason - Lemmy.World

I’m not sure exactly when, but at some point in the past month I stopped getting text messages in a group chat between my mom and siblings. Weird thing is I don’t seem to have any problem getting texts sent just to me, or even with other group texts (as far as I know). We mostly just share memes and shit, but it drives me nuts thinking that someone could be trying to tell me something and it just doesn’t reach my phone.

Go fuck yourself, Mike - Lemmy.World

Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

So many options! - Lemmy.World

Wayfair's call center insists you give them your SSN before they'll file a report for credit fraud - Lemmy.World

I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website. I tried contacting both Citi bank and Wayfair, but since I don’t have the full account number, I couldn’t get past Citi’s automated phone menu. Wayfair’s phone system was a fucking nightmare getting transferred to various departments, but eventually transferred me to a foreign call center where they insisted that they needed my social security number and birth date to file a report, but I’m not giving them that. The best thing is that the scammer managed to get a higher credit limit than I was able to get on my own card.
