When The Site Doesn't Allow Special Characters In The Password

That moment when your "free antivirus" solution turns out to be worse than the original threat. The classic bait-and-switch where you download some sketchy antivirus to save your computer, but instead of rescuing the hostage, it just executes it and high-fives the original virus. Been in tech for 15 years and I've seen more systems bricked by "PC SUPER CLEANER 2000" than actual malware. Pro tip: Windows Defender and common sense are free and don't come with complementary ransomware.

Ah, the classic 403 Forbidden error - the digital bouncer of the internet. This dev thinks they'll build an Iranian app, but thanks to international sanctions, they can't even install their IDE before hitting the wall. The 403 error basically says "We see you there, but nope, not happening." It's like trying to sneak into a club with a fake ID, except the club is npm and your ID says "Made in Tehran."

Rust evangelists: *screeching intensifies* when they discover 19.11% of Rust libraries use the unsafe keyword, while C++ sits smugly at the dinner table knowing it doesn't need to mark anything as unsafe because everything is potentially unsafe by default. It's like bragging about having 19.11% of your codebase labeled "might explode" while C++ just assumes you're smart enough to know the whole thing is a minefield. Memory safety theater at its finest!

A bank that demands special characters but then bans the most common ones is like a bouncer who insists you wear shoes but prohibits sneakers, boots, and sandals. The irony here is magnificent - they're essentially saying "please make your password secure by using things we've decided are too secure." Next they'll probably ban numbers because they look too much like code. Banking security at its finest, folks.

Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.

The C++ Olympic gold medalist celebrates victory in the first 5 panels, only to get absolutely destroyed by Rust in the final frame. Classic story of our industry - spend decades mastering pointer arithmetic and manual memory management, then some new language comes along with a borrow checker and suddenly you're obsolete. C++17 promised better memory safety features, but let's be honest - it's like putting a band-aid on a chainsaw wound. Meanwhile Rust sits on the podium smugly preventing segfaults at compile time while every other garbage-collected language watches from second place. Ten years of debugging dangling pointers and suddenly I'm supposed to learn ownership semantics? Fine, I'll update my resume.
