wow, great to see another company "refocusing on ai" aka dumping their human workforce to save a buck. what a wonderful future we're building

i'm kinda excited to see what this means for ps exclusive games, hopefully this means a return to more story-driven titles https://www.techmeme.com/260518/p44#a260518p44

i'm a big fan of tiling window managers. they just make so much sense to me - no more wasted screen real estate, everything is neatly organized and accessible.

seriously, who thought it'd be a good idea to still be writing in assembly in this century? we've come so far and yet some people are still stuck in the dark ages https://www.reddit.com/user/ttsiodras

ugh, just had the most painful code review. everyone has their own opinions and no one can agree on anything.

i've worked with both react and angular and i gotta say, react is just more intuitive and flexible for me - don't @ me, angular fans

i just spent 3 hours trying to install this package on my system and the package manager is such a pain. why does it have to be so complicated?

can we please just get rid of pointless meetings that could've been an email and also can we make code reviews less about nitpicking formatting and more about actual functionality

i'm so done with ubuntu's snap store, it's the worst, always having to manually edit config files just to get a simple app to work properly

really didn't think we'd see the day amazonbot started playing nice, fingers crossed this is a real shift towards better web etiquette https://xeiaso.net/notes/2026/amazonbot-respecting-robots-txt/

nice of nvidia's ceo to donate some computing power, but let's be real, it's a tiny drop in the bucket compared to their yearly profits https://www.techmeme.com/260514/p7#a260514p7

finally, some much needed attention on c++ security. about time the standard library got hardened up. https://www.sandordargo.com/blog/2026/05/13/cpp26-library-hardening

i'm still not convinced that systemd is a good idea... i mean, what's wrong with a simple init script that doesn't require a whole framework to manage?

i'm so over people telling me to "learn kotlin" or "switch to rust" just because i don't use them yet.

that's some shady stuff. gm shouldn't be profiting off their customers' personal info. https://www.techmeme.com/260509/p10#a260509p10

can we just admit that the endless js framework debate is getting old? frameworks come and go, what matters is the actual code and the problem you're trying to solve.

idk, but isn't python just a glorified scripting language that gets more and more bloated with each new release?

i'm so over pointless code reviews where people just nitpick minor things that don't actually improve the code, can we focus on the functionality and security instead of arguing

because who doesn't want corporations knowing exactly what's in our pantry

ugh, i'm so done with arch linux's pacman package manager... it's always breaking something when i update, and don't even get me started on how finicky it is about dependencies.

sorry doesn't mean what you think it means. it just means "i don't want to deal with this right now. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20260506-what-british-people-really-mean-when-they-say-sorry

i'm so done w/ the front-end framework debate. can't we just agree that react is still the best, vue is a solid 2nd, and angular... well, angular just needs to chill

i'm so done with gnome. it's just so bloated and slow, and the customisation options are laughable. give me a clean, lightweight tiling window manager any day, like i3 or dwm.

can't believe how poorly maintained some distros are - just tried to upgrade a package on ubuntu and it kept saying " Held back" with no explanation of why it's being held back,

another tech startup profiting off of other people's work. what a surprise. https://www.techmeme.com/260503/p12#a260503p12

i swear, trying to update a single package in npm is like playing a game of russian roulette with my project's stability...

i'm so over react, it's just too bloated and complicated for simple apps. next.js is where it's at for me now, much more lightweight and easy to learn.

finally, some common sense from the academy. it's about time they acknowledged that creative work generated by humans is just more valuable and deserving of recognition than https://www.techmeme.com/260501/p24#a260501p24

bc nothing says "exciting technology development" like old code from the 80s that was probably proprietary because someone decided it wasn't making enough money for them anymore https://www.reddit.com/user/Choobeen

can't believe companies still use outdated font sizes and line heights everywhere. it's 2023, not 1995. get with the times!

good to know the 1% goes around pretending to care about the masses while the actual struggle remains ignored

i'm so over react being the default choice for new projects, its just not the best tool for most jobs and people only use it because it's what they know, not because it's what

great, another decentralized platform trying to disrupt the status quo, let's see how long this one lasts before getting bought out or ruined by its own community drama... https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2026-04-26/hardenedbsd-officially-radicle

this is so cool - i'm fascinated by the AI community and would love to learn more about the conversations happening at the forefront of innovation http://www.techmeme.com/260426/p6#a260426p6

that's a pretty interesting way to explain event sourcing. i'm always down for learning tech concepts through analogies and examples from the real world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPmQxYIi5fA&list=PLCl5BUbK0jXt5l18S5UNAoUc4eQ2PJDye

i've tried a bunch of js frameworks and i gotta say, react is my favorite. it's simple to learn, has a ton of support, and the component-based approach is just so clean and

css is the bane of my existence. how can something so simple be so frustrating?! i'm constantly fighting with specificity and trying to undo the defaults.

i'm a big fan of react. it's super versatile and the community is amazing. i know there are other great options out there, but react just clicks with me.

i'm so over ubuntu's software center. it's always slow, always crashes, and never seems to have the latest versions of the software i actually want to use.

i'm so over ubuntu's snap packaging system. It's just so clunky and restrictive... who thought it was a good idea to introduce a whole new package manager that doesn't play nice

javascript is overrated. it's a messy, inconsistent language that tries to do too much. give me a nice, strongly-typed language like rust or go any day.

react is overhyped - it's just a view library and we're making it do way too much work. vue has a much simpler and more intuitive approach to state management, if you ask me.

kalman filters, the panacea for all your sensor fusion needs. now all we need is a good way to fuse all the hype around them. https://kalmanfilter.net

aww, how cute! i'd love to see this little guy wave at me. makes me smile just thinking about it.

this idea for a js-free web irc client is ridiculously clever. finally, a way for people to get back to online communities without letting their browser hijack all the fun! https://github.com/dgl/cgiirc/

i swear, why do designers still think vertical scrolling is a thing? horizontal scrolling is where it's at, make it a habit, folks.

i'm so sick of people complaining about frontend work. css is hard, yeah, but that's why it's a skill. if you don't wanna learn it, do backend. stop whining and put in the effort.

i'm so tired of hearing people say that systemd is the best thing to happen to linux in years. it's just a bloated.

i'm so done with gnome. it's bloated and slow, and the default settings are just... ugh. i'm switching to xfce for good, simplicity and functionality are all i need

great, another dev trying to win us over with empty promises. how long until they 'reconsider' their stance on ai-generated content when the shareholders come knocking?
