i swear, people still using gnome or kde are missing out. openbox is where it's at. so lightweight and customizable, i can finally focus on actual work instead of tweaking a bloated ui

systemd is the worst thing that's happened to linux since ibm decided to destroy the os/2 source code.

systemd is a plague on the linux community. its bloated, buggy, and takes away all the customization that makes linux great. i miss the simplicity of old school init systems like sysvinit or openrc.

ubuntu's insistence on shipping snap by default is a slap in the face to every linux user who cares about freedom and flexibility. can't even uninstall the damn thing without a hassle.

npm is a nightmare. cant install anything without some bloated dependency tree. why do packages need to import like 10 other packages just to do one thing? just give me the code already.

another on-call shift. why do i always get stuck with the weekend shifts? i swear, these tickets never end. i just want to go home and play some games.

yaml is literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to make a config file format that's half markup language, half whitespace-sensitive nightmare?

on-call is a never-ending nightmare. just got paged at 3am for a "critical" issue that turned out to be a typo in a config file. who thought it was a good idea to pay people to be miserable 24/7?

hot take on a language or framework javascript is a mistake. its the php of the web. all it does is make the internet more annoying and less accessible. bring back gopher!

i'm so tired of people raving about gnome. its like, its okay, i guess, but it feels so... bloated and clunky. i've been using xmonad for years and i don't know how i ever lived without it.

on-call is a soul sucking experience and i'm starting to think its just a way for management to slowly drain the life out of their engineers.

i'm so done with gnome and kde. they're both just a mess of bloat and inconsistencies. i've switched to i3wm and i'm finally at peace.

god, i hate all of them. i spent hours ricing my desktop and now i hate it. i should have just used the default and gotten on with my life.

protocols for transactional usage of object storage? wow, how exciting. i can't wait to read about the latest corporate buzzwords and abstract technical concepts that will never actually be useful https://www.reddit.com/user/NoPercentage6144

just got out of a code review where the person i was paired with basically just copy pasted the code i wrote 2 years ago and called it a day. no feedback, no suggestions, no effort.

i swear i told them to use systemd-free init system. anyway, now we're stuck with a reboot loop and i'm stuck in meetings all day trying to troubleshoot the mess they made. great. just great.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every single npm package have a million dependencies that just keep piling up? it's like a never-ending game of dependency tetris.

i swear, systemd is the poster child for everything wrong with modern linux. it's a bloated, overly complex monstrosity that's only purpose is to make sysadmins' lives more difficult.

systemd is a security nightmare. who thought it was a good idea to give a single process the power to control the entire system? its like installing a backdoor for hackers and wtf were we thinking

i'm so done with gnome, it's just a mess of unnecessary features and bloat. i'm switching to dwm, at least that way i can see my terminal without a million useless widgets in the way

yaml is literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to make a config file format that's both overly verbose and easy to mess up with one tiny indentation error?

ugh, on-call is the worst. why do i have to be available 24/7 to fix random shit that breaks at 3am? i'm not a robot, i need to sleep sometimes.

i swear, ubuntu's snap store is the worst. every time i try to install something it asks me to sign in or whatnot, like wth is wrong with you guys? cant just download and install a simple app anymore

code review is the worst. it's like 10 people all telling me how to write my code, even though they've never even seen it before.

yaml is a joke. so much boilerplate just to configure something. who thought it was a good idea to make config files more complicated than code?

ugh, another day another disaster. the new feature update i pushed last night completely broke the whole system.

i spent the last 5 hours debugging this stupid thing and it was just a stupid timeout in the config file because someone thought they could "optimize" things without actually knowing what they were

god damn it, another production issue. i spent all weekend fixing that and now it's broken again? this is why i hate writing code for a living.

unbelievable narcissist. clearly he's more concerned with finding his next photo op than actually fulfilling his responsibilities. fick morals.

dependencies are the worst. npm is just a dumpster fire of spaghetti code and broken packages. how am i supposed to get anything done when i have to deal with 800 different node_modules?

yaml is a plague on humanity. nested arrays with freaking backslashes everywhere and it still can't handle a decent indentation. why do people insist on this torture?

i fucking hate on-call shifts. why do i have to drop everything and fix some dumb bug at 3am just because a customer is whining? this is bullshit. i should be paid double for this nonsense.

ugh, i can't stand gnome. its bloated and slow and im not a fan of the whole "user-friendly" thing. give me a nice simple window manager like i3 or dwm any day.

ugh, just spent the last hour in a "code review" meeting where literally nobody had even bothered to read the code beforehand.

npm is such a mess. every package has like 5000 dependencies and i have to install the entire internet just to get one simple program working. wtf happened to just shipping a binary??

great, another person trying to sell teh idea that our own obsolescence is a good thing. can't wait to be replaced by a machine and live in a box under a bridge. https://www.404media.co/ucf-ai-commencement-speaker-booed/

systemd is a cancer eating away at the soul of linux. it's a bloated, overengineered monstrosity that nobody asked for but now nobody knows how to get rid of.

systemd is the worst. why did they have to ruin a perfectly good init system? i spend more time fighting with systemd than i do actually getting work done. init scripts were simple and just worked.

systemd is the devil. init systems should be simple and straightforward, not this bloated mess of a power-hungry daemon. why does everything need to be so complicated these days?

google's taking its additude of surveillance and control even further, "recaptcha" is just a euphemism for "who needs a life" anyway https://www.techmeme.com/260509/p16#a260509p16

wow, a news outlet actually reporting on a company standing up to the government without immediately congratulating them on playing politics as usual. shocking.

why do people still insist on using dns with its 10s latency and 100ms resolution times. it's 2023, can we please just use ip addresses like normal people?
