Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

I used to, 15 years ago.

Good times.

It almost never works like that.

People who don’t understand computers will work against it in almost every case.

Oh yes, companies knock themselves over trying to gobble up any AI chip in existence.

Of course, as everywhere else, the LLMentalist comment is here!

It’s just a proxy hate.

Just like crypto before that.

Or any other crazy bullshit the elite drops bags of money on instead of anything reasonable.

Where is dwm?

Not being able to do some things is the biggest blocker.

Sideloading for instance. Photos disappearing inside the Photos app and not being in files is also weird. It just felt like I was a moron who couldn’t handle my own files.

I dunno, I had iPhone in my hand for app development, and I wanted to shoot it out of the cannon into the sun.

You have to understand the thinking process behind the UI, and it’s not ‘intuitive’ to everyone.

And I just couldn’t use it, it drove me crazy.

PHP?

Like what?

And no one ever tried to restore it.

Happened to me as well, after a year I learned incremental DB backups were wrongly offset by GMT diff, so we were losing hours every time. Fun.

Luckily we never needed them.

And now we have Postgres with WAL archiving and I sleep so much better.

It’s not a take, that was their actual reasoning behind it. Gabe knew Microsoft well, as a former employee.

I had a printer I could not in my life make work on a Windows PC (2017). Then I tried my Ubuntu laptop, no drivers installed, just worked.

Fuck Windows.

No Drake pls

If you are tech-savvy and looking for alternatives, you won’t use Windows.

I don’t think that is necessary, as some companies do actually help, either with money or even dedicated staff, which can be as good or better.

We should push for developers to promote the idea of more help towards FOSS projects, maybe find some hours a month, or send any money saved from not paying for licenses.

But I also harp a lot to my superiors about donating to open-source projects we utilize, make loads of money thanks to them, yet never give anything back.

I kinda get that some projects with limited backing can’t “get their shit together”, when successful users don’t give them anything. It’s a stupid pattern, and I hope we can break it.

I tried to get our team to move to Matrix when COVID hit and there was no infrastructure for remote work.

It was such a shame that it was that exact time Jitsi had issues with Firefox (which most of us use), so we couldn’t videochat.

If Jitsi had that resolved immediately, we perhaps could have used something open for at least couple of years. Maybe others would follow suit.

Oh well. Teams it is.

Inflationary currency needs and expects this. Just how it works.
