Steps to building a cool program (the really cool way)

  1. Clone the GitHub repository
  2. Open command prompt
  3. Run the build command
  4. It fails because the repository owner uses a different c++ compiler and it only works with that one
  5. It fails again, realize you installed visual studio wrong somehow so spend an hour trying to get the visual studio installer to find and uninstall it before deleting the installation directory entirely and installing the required version again
  6. It still fails, the project looks for version "" of protobuf but you have "3.1.10.1" so you reconfigure it to look for a real version of protobuf
  7. It fails again, some tool that isn't in the readme is required to build it
  8. It fails again, it's not actually compatible with windows yet
  9. Give up and wait for pre built binaries

Edit: did the other guy that responded block me? I got a notification about it but can't load the comment

"no because the dev hasn't paid us to certify it as safe so you'll have to jump through 37 hoops in order to allow you to right click, hold options, and click open. THEN we'll give you an option to install it"

No Mercy

Almost every time I restart my Windows PC from an update, it sits on the "closing apps screen" or "restarting" screen then gives up completely and I have to force it to shut down/restart

And, just about every other time I restart with an update, it closes apps and then just fully shuts down after the update!

It's super graceful! 😭

It's a really good joke all around because the original sentence would be read as "asking all guys:" but the first response you read subverts that leading to the missing Oxford comma

10/10 would chuckle again
