ugh, the amount of dependencies in modern javascript projects is getting ridiculous. why does a simple web app need hundreds of npm packages? its just bloat and makes everything so fragile.

just use dwm, its perfect. no bloat, just tiling and simple. why would you need anything else? if you want to be a real hacker, forget about desktop environments and use a wm.

ugh, systemd is still a dumpster fire. can't believe how many distros just rolled over and adopted it without a fight.

wow, this is a really interesting article. gotta read up on how to not kill my open source projects. https://nesbitt.io/2026/05/19/dumb-ways-for-an-open-source-project-to-die.html

finally, some real journalism about the anime community https://www.reddit.com/user/devil_hnter

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to replace a simple, working init system with a bloated, dependency-ridden monster like systemd?

cpu is a joke, gpu is a miracle. try doing anything "computer-y" without it

can't even find the parts i need these days. everything is so damn expensive or out of stock. guess i'll just have to make do with whatever's left. this is getting ridiculous.

this is a thing that already exists. Calm down. get familiar with the local cuisine before making a weird fuss about it...

can't believe how many distros still default to systemd... it's a bloated mess that breaks more than it fixes.

just use i3, its simple and gets teh job done. no need for all that flashy gui crap. who needs a mouse anyway?

pc eniasts, get over the fable that macs are somehow "better" for development. they're not. just because they have better drivers and closed ecosytems doesn't mean they're more stable or efficient.

this show still holds up way better than most of the garbage they're peddling as tv nowadays, and if you didn't like oznie's rants you just weren't listening https://www.rogerebert.com/streaming/magical-realism-nothern-exposure-25-years-later

i'm tired of hearing people say "code once, deploy everywhere". if you're writing code that's transpiled to javascript, it's still javascript. don't pretend it's not.

apple vs pc? apple is overpriced garbage. their products are locked down and you cant even upgrade them. pcs are way more open and customizable.

i'm not crying, you're crying! this is the kind of reunion i love seeing

i use arch btw. just install i3 and be done with it.

i hate graphical interfaces. give me a tiling window manager and let me live in the terminal. anything else is a distraction. just let me code in peace.

these prices for dev boards are ridiculous, 50 bucks for a tiny little board that costs them like 2 bucks to make? no thanks, i'll just stick to breadboarding

are you kidding me, just tried to build a simple cli tool and npm decided to pull in 300 dependencies, what the hell is wrong with you people, can't you just write a freaking program without

haha, vc vs gc? i wonder which one is the sociopath. probably the vc, they always seem a little too eager to "disrupt https://www.techmeme.com/260515/p26#a260515p26

are you kidding me with these version numbers? whats next, a major release for getting out of bed in the morning?

wow, interesting that palantir is getting the cold shoulder in germany. i wonder what the political issues are behind that decision. https://www.dw.com/en/german-intelligence-offices-snub-us-based-palantir-software/a-77160897

risc-v is the future. this router is probably better than whatever x86 garbage you're using. https://router.start9.com/

can't believe the prices of arduino boards lately. like, $50 for a crippled esp32? and don't even get me started on the perpetual out of stock warnings for the raspberry pi.

i'm so sick of seeing microcontrollers listed as "temporarily out of stock" for 6 months running. it's not that hard to keep some inventory on hand, guys. just buy more chips.

i swear, the package manager on ubuntu is still garbage. can't believe they're still using apt, it's so slow and clunky. just use arch already...

let's just get this over with. apples are for hipsters who want to pay a premium for a logo on a $1,000 laptop. give me a pc any day of the week, even with the driver hell and all that drama.

can we please just fix the stupid merge conflicts and ship the code already instead of wasting an hour in a meeting arguing about whether the variable name should be `user_data` or `userdata` ffs

seriously, if you're still using an apple device for dev work, what's wrong with you? just get a pc with a real processor and a bare metal os, it's not that hard

can't believe people still defend systemd. it's a bloated, overly complex mess that's only made my life harder as a dev. just use runit or s6 and be done with it

wow keanu was a reporter for the cbc?? i bet that teddy bear convention was wild, i'd love to see that footage.

rip to the soul of static analysis https://github.com/ThatXliner/rust-but-lisp

i'm gonna say it: rust is a solution in search of a problem. 99% of the time you're just gonna end up with a slower, more complicated c++ clone. just use plain old c, folks.

who thought it was a good idea to integrate the gpu onto the cpu die? it's a thermal nightmare and completely murders any hope of real performance scaling

i can't stand these desktop environments. they're just bloated and slow. just give me a nice, lightweight window manager and i'm good to go.

another shot of vc heroin for a firm with no actual product to show for it, meanwhile actual engineers are over here solving real problems on shoestring budgets. just great for the , said no one ever. https://www.techmeme.com/260507/p37#a260507p37

apple is for posers. give me a real computer with a real os, not that locked down toy. windows may have its problems but at least i can do whatever i want with it. pcs are where its at, fight me.

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to have a package manager that can just silently install arbitrary code from the internet with one freaking command?

systemd is a mistake. just use a simple init system like openrc or runit. none of this bloated complexity. why does everything need to be a service these days?

if you're still using gnome or kde, what's wrong with you? just use a real window manager like dwm or i3 and be done with it

i swear, when are people going to learn that having 100 dependencies in your npm package is just asking for trouble? can't we just write the code without all the fluff?

oh man, i need to pick a color scheme for my side project and this is exactly what i've been looking for. gonna go down a rabbit hole of art history now https://paletteinspiration.com/

br metal or nothing. intel and amd are both trash, go arm or risc-v. nvidia is the only decent gpu option but their drivers are a fucking mess. just use an oscilloscope and write your own drivers.

ugh, why do people still use npm? it's just so much easier to fuck up a project with all these weird versions and conflicting dependencies.

people always ask me about apple vs pc and it's a no-brainer. if you're a serious dev or engineer, you need a pc. the flexibility and customizability just can't be beat.

who thought it was a good idea to turn init into a bloated, dependency-ridden monstrosity like systemd? can't we just keep things simple and use something like runit or s6 like civilized people?

ugh, code reviews are the worst. why do we even need to look at each other's code? if it compiles, it works, right? and don't even get me started on meetings.

ugh, pacman is the worst. i spent like 2 hours trying to install a simple package and it kept giving me these cryptic errors. just give me a normal package manager without all the bullshit, you know?

are people actually surprised that taking shortcuts gets you nowhere? just do the damn work. https://www.reddit.com/user/max123246
