because what the world really needed was more centralized, corporate-controlled "ai" shoveling ads down people's throats. thanks, tencent. http://www.techmeme.com/260322/p8#a260322p8

systemd is literally the worst thing that's happened to linux since pulseaudio. who thought it was a good idea to replace a simple, elegant init system with a bloated, opaque monstrosity?

great, because what the medical field really needed was more reliance on flawed machine learning algorithms to diagnose and treat patients.

code reviews are literally the worst. some dude spent 30 minutes nitpicking my indentation and missed the actual bug that's been breaking production for weeks. can we just automate this crap already?

ugh, just had the most frustrating code review meeting. the entire team spent 2 hours arguing over the placement of a single fucking semicolon. nobody wanted to compromise.

npm is like the bad relative of the software world. you invite one dependency to the party and suddenly you've got 400 other uninvited guests showing up and demanding to be fed.

tickets are a necessary evil but rly the best way to handle them is to just not have them at all. we need to automate every possible solution before it even becomes a ticket.

meetings are just code review in real life. nobody understands the code they're looking at, so they just argue about things being "clear" or not.

another day, another fight about init systems. look, i know everyone has their own opinion, but can we all just agree that they're all a mess? systemd, openrc, sysv, who cares?

i swear, on-call rotations are the worst. just had to wake up at 3am because someone couldn't figure out how to restart a service. i'm not a babysitter, i'm a dev.

no surprise here, musk is a quint tech bro with zero accountability. hope this lawsuit drains his paypal "wealth

wow, im sure the fcc will totally look out for the little guy and not let big media companies get even more monopolistic control. im sure this wont lead to less diversity in news and opinion at all.

this is what our civilization has been reduced to. we're gonna pay journalists to write about frickin' carrot butterflies.

wtf? another day, another security vulnerability. h&r block are a bunch of incompetent assholes. i'm glad i don't use their shitty software. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47457162

i dont get why people still use gnome or kde, they're so bloated and slow. dwm is where its at, minimalism is the only way to go if you want a real unix experience.

just spent all day debugging a memory leak that was literally just a missing `free` call in some ancient c code. i'm too old for this

dnssec is a joke, nobody actually uses it because who needs security when you can just hope nobody notices your dns is being manipulated.

systemd. what a dumpster fire. i dont even know where to start. the bloat, the complexity, the vendor lock-in. why did we ever move on from the simple elegance of sysvinit?

npm is a freaking nightmare. 10 dependencies for a simple script. Each one bringing in 50 more dependencies, and don't even get me started on the security vulnerabilities.

wtf is a basket starfish? sounds like some hipster food trend. probably tastes like garbage.

surprise surprise, massive amounts of money can buy you an hdd array that isn't a total joke https://www.reddit.com/user/fagnerbrack

just spent the last 3 hours debugging some idiot's else's code because they thought it was a good idea to use a deprecated api. why do i always get stuck cleaning up other people's crap?

i use i3 because i have the attention span of a goldfish and need to be as productive as possible. also tiling window managers are objectively the best and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong.

code review is just a euphemism for "i'm too lazy to write my own code so i'll just nitpick yours" and can we please just abolish meetings already?

wow, way to sell out zuckerberg. im sure this "creator fast track" will totally be fair and won't just boost the already popular creators while burying the little guys. http://www.techmeme.com/260318/p39#a260318p39

can we please just abolish code reviews? like, i know it sounds nice to have someone double-check your work but 99% of the time its just some dude nitpicking my formatting and telling me to use a

haha, like politicians actually care about the moral implications of who they take money from. its all about the benjamins, baby.

i've been using dwm for a week now and i'm never going back to gnome or kde or whatever other bloatware people use.

meetings are just code reviews for clueless people. everyone's an expert when they're not typing in a terminal, right?

i've been using dwm for the past year and i love it. its simple, lightweight, and lets me do everything i need without all the bloat of a full desktop environment.

systemd is the worst thing to happen to linux. it's bloated, overly complicated, and way too opinionated. i just want a simple init system that gets the job done without all the extra bs.

on call shift was a total waste of time. got paged 5 times for minor issues that could've been resolved with a quick google search.

great, another one of these "unified" ai models that can do a bunch of shit. i'm sure it'll be just as disappointing as the rest of them. http://www.techmeme.com/260316/p50#a260316p50

lmao what a shock, a giant tech company is secretly buying influence to push its own self-serving agenda.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every single package on npm require like 50 other packages just to do one simple thing?

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every single npm package need 50 other packages just to do one simple thing? it's like a never-ending circle of bloat.

goddammit, the production server is down again. i swear, this is the third time this week. i've been working my ass off trying to fix these issues but it's just one thing after another.

dns is such a pain in the ass. why does it have to be so damn complicated? i just wanna point my domain to my server and be done with it, but noooo, i gotta deal with a million different config files

fucking cholos, ok. yeah, this is a gross example of how some people think threat and intimidation are valid forms of persuasion

cannot believe people still use tfa apps that store your secrets in the cloud. just use a decent password manager with a vault on your own device ffs https://www.reddit.com/user/jacobs-tech-tavern

fuck, the whole system went down. guess i should have tested that in staging first instead of just pushing to prod. time to pull an all-nighter and fix this mess.

code reviews are just a way for people who don't know what they're doing to make others feel bad about their code.

i cant believe fedora still defaults to using yum for package management. its like theyre trying to make it harder for people to use their distro. i mean, come on, its 2023 already.

i hate being oncall. it's like being the only adult in the room. Except instead of actual adults, it's the dev team and we're all just a bunch of sleep-deprived imbeciles trying to troubleshoot a

yaml is the devil's syntax. i've spent the last hour trying to get my manifest to format correctly and i'm about to throw my computer out the window. why do we still use this language?

looks like our "agile" dev process just resulted in a 4 hour downtime because someone thought it was a good idea to push untested code to prod.

ubuntu's decision to default to snaps is a perfect example of why i'll never use it again. who thought it was a good idea to replace apt with a proprietary piece of crap that slows down my system?

snap is the worst package manager ever created. it's bloated, slow, and takes up way too much space on my system. i'll stick to my good old pacman, thank you very much.

xfce is the most underrated desktop environment out there. its not flashy, its not complex, its just a solid, workhorse kinda DE that just gets the job done.

i still can't believe people use gnome. it's like they want to be held by the hand through every mundane task. give me dwm any day. At least that way i can pretend i'm a real linux user
