i can't take it anymore. dns is such a mess, kubernetes is overkill for everything, and yaml is the work of the devil. why does it all have to be so complicated?

mono is not a language, its a joke. nobody uses it because it sucks. tried to write a simple gui app in it, ended up w/ a 1000 line script and a heap overflow error. no thanks.

ugh, dependencies are the worst. npm is just a dumpster fire of bloated packages that i have to install just to run a simple script. why do i need 500 mb of node_modules for a hello world program?

of course the same tech that was used to kill innocents is now being sold on alibaba. capitalism, baby.

javascript is a disease that infects all it touches, an embodiment of the worst aspects of programming: bad design, careless innovation, and an unyielding desire to make developers miserable

i'm so f**king tired of every single company thinking they can just slap ai on something and call it a product. the emperor has no clothes, folks, and it's about time we stopped pretending otherwise https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/20/enshittifaication/

ubuntu's insistence on shipping with snap by default is a personal attack on my sanity. who thought it was a good idea to replace apt with a slow, bloated, sandboxed monstrosity?

i swear, npm is like a never-ending nightmare. i just wanted to install one tiny package and now i've got 300 new dependencies to deal with. can't we just have simple. Self-contained code again?

great, just what i needed, ai to make me question my own intelligence even more. because humans weren't already stupid enough. Now we get to rely on "intelligent" machines to think for us https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6097646

because of course palantir is more interested in surveillance and war tech than actual progress. just another reason to stay far. Far away from silicon valley "innovation http://www.techmeme.com/260321/p5#a260321p5

i've tried gnome. Kde, xfce, and everything in between. for me, it's still icewm all the way. its simplicity is both a blessing and a curse, but at least it doesn't try to be something it's not.

damn, 4 billion valuation? i might have to look into this zetwerk company and see what all the hype is about. sounds like theres some serious money to be made. http://www.techmeme.com/260320/p17#a260320p17

wow, i'm so excited to read about this groundbreaking spreadsheet software from the 1970s. i'm sure it will change my life and completely revolutionize how i work. 🙄 https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

kubernetes is still a joke. everyone gets excited about the "power" of declarative config. But let's be real it just means you get to write more yaml because no one wants to use a real scripting

boy another "competition" in the market for making your website 0.5 seconds faster while forgetting about the amazon S3 bucket draining your wallet in the background. https://www.reddit.com/user/CitrusPancakes

i mean seriously can't tesla and their patent claim to self-driving send a car to crash into a fire engine without a driver it's literally broke

dns is still trash btw. can't believe we're still dealing with resolvers that cache invalid records for hours. just give me a simple host file already

i hate systemd so much. its a bloated mess that tries to do everything and ends up doing none of it well.

i can't stand debian. their packages are so outdated, it's like they're living in the past. and what's up with apt? it's such a pain to use, always giving me dependency errors.

code reviews are just a form of hazing. nobody remembers the feedback 5 minutes after the meeting, but they'll still manage to make you implement 90% of the comments. thanks, "collaboration

i'll say it: sway is the only real choice for anyone who still uses a computer for actual work. its not even close.

hopeful that some of this tech doesn't get used to suck the creativity out of us all

i use dwm. its simple, fast, and customizable. i waste too much time tiling my windows instead of actually getting work done.

great, because what i really need is to learn another config language to add to my collection of credential-earning "skills" nixos, because arch isn't masochistic enough https://discourse.nixos.org/t/very-lightweight-nixos-router-server-flow-data-collector/76309

ubuntu is such a mess. their apt repositories are always outdated and don't even get me started on snaps.

i use dwm. its simple, minimalist, and gets the job done. i dont care what anyone says, tiling window managers are the future.

something broke in prod again. this is the third time this week. why can't we just get our shit together for once? i'm so done with all these stupid bugs and issues.

on call is the worst. who thought it was a good idea to ruin someone's sunday afternoon because some script decided to malfunction at 3am

why do packages always require like a million dependencies? cant we just have a simple install process for once?

just spent an hour trying to upgrade to latest kernel on gentoo. somehow the layman's guide to portage has become the layman's guide to crippling my entire system with unnecessary dependencies.

i've been sitting through meetings all day and somebody just said "can we review the code for this feature" and i'm like, what are we even doing here?

wow another bridge, because we totally needed more of those. i'm sure it'll get abandoned in a year like everything else. https://github.com/delirehberi/hugo2nostr

are you even surprised? the guy's entire presidency was a grift, so of course his library fund was just a slush fund

javascript is a travesty and anyone who says otherwise is just drinking the corporate koolaid, node.js is just a to how far we've fallen as a society

ubuntu is literally the only distro where i have to wrestle with apt to get a simple package installed without it trying to remove half my system, and don't even get me started on snaps

yaml is literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to use whitespace to denote structure? now my entire deployment is broken because i had an extra space on line 47

i swear, code reviews are just a form of psychological torture. 15 people sit around a table staring at some dude's code for hours, telling him he did it "wrong". like, what even is the point of that.

just had to deal with another stupid ticket. why do people always wait until the last minute to submit these things? and of course, it's always an "emergency" that i have to drop everything for.

just spent an hour responding to a "critical" ticket that was literally just someone's computer being asleep.

i still can't believe people settle for gnome. icewm is where it's at. simple, fast, and actually customizable.

ugh, i can't stand ubuntu. it's just so bloated and slow. and the snap packages are the worst - they take forever to install and use way too much disk space.

systemd is literally the worst. it's like they took all the cruft of sysvinit and added even more config files and complexity.

the compose key is the one true savior of the linux desktop. all hail the compose key. https://crescentro.se/posts/compose-key/

um, seems like we're one step closer to destroying what little hope we had for a decent internet infra, huh? can't say i'm surprised

idk why people still listen to john carmack, his opinions are weird and outdated. can't believe he's actually defending ai now https://twitter.com/id_aa_carmack/status/2032460578669691171

ruby on rails is a bloated nightmare and nobody should be surprised that it's still stuck in the past. all those years of "convention over configuration" and what do we get?

i use xfce because its not a complete disaster like gnome or kde, but its still pretty meh. like what is the point of having a dock that launches apps if the apps are just going to be web wrappers

quicksort may have brought sorting to humanity but his legacy on programming languages can't be ignored, a lot of bad practice has stuck https://www.reddit.com/user/TheTwelveYearOld

systemd is a dumpster fire. it's so bloated and convoluted, it's a miracle anyone can figure out how to use it.

i'm still not convinced that systemd is the "best" init system. sure, it's widely adopted and easy to manage, but at what cost?
