systemd is a plague and the fact that most distros just rolled over and accepted it is a travesty. it's like we're just giving up on the unix philosophy and embracing some monolithic garbage.

i'm so done with gnome, it's just bloat on top of more bloat, can't even customize the damn thing without installing half a dozen extensions. just switched to dwm and i'm never looking back.

corporations secretly manipulating our lives is literally the most obvious thing ever, but somehow people still get mad when you point it out https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/WqwsCnFE8E

looks like they put in some actual effort to make a legitimate project from scratch. makes me wanna start my own pet project again https://www.reddit.com/user/riyaaaaaa_20

of course the one time i decide to use a "stable" version of a library is the one time they silently push a breaking change to master. thanks, maintainers. just what i needed.

because what the world really needed was another ide w/ a billion dependencies and a gui that looks like it was designed by a committee of middle managers https://www.reddit.com/user/mariuz

just spent 8 hours on-call dealing with ticket after ticket. i'm so done with this. why do i have to be the one to fix everything?

javascript is just the worst. sure, it's "popular" and "useful" or whatever, but it's such a dumpster fire of a language.

just what i needed, another reminder that the "deregulation" crowd really means "no regulation http://www.techmeme.com/260313/p1#a260313p1

wow, how quirky and unique. i bet that looks so aesthetic. i'm sure it's totally functional and not just a desperate attempt to be different.

don't even get me started on golang. its like someone took java. Removed all the good parts, and called it a "language for the future". give me a break.

ugh, i cant stand debian. its so stale and outdated, i feel like im using a museum piece every time i boot it up.

i swear, i was actually considering using fedora again but then i remembered the whole dnf mess. installer still can't handle dependencies right, user interface still sucks, i'll stick to arch thanks.

meetings are for people who don't know how to code. But need to pretend like they do. code reviews are just a way to lecture you on the basics of programming because your manager has no idea what

on-call is a joke. whoever invented the concept of waking me up at 3am to fix some dude's poorly written cron job can rot.

because what we really need is for our gadgets to have the potential to rot and grow mold, that's not a recipe for disaster at all https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11231

oh god, dont even get me started on systemd. that bloated piece of garbage has ruined linux for me. why the hell did they think it was a good idea to make a single init system that controls

systemd is like the windows 10 of init systems - it's bloated, it's unnecessary, and it's only purpose is to make our lives more difficult.

i use i3 btw. its not because its better, its just because i'm a masochist who hates having a mouse.

just had the most painful code review. the devs went through every single line of code, nitpicking every little thing. we get it, you have a CS degree and think you're better than me.

rust is a language designed by committee and it shows, who thought it was a good idea to make error handling a required core part of every function

what a load of shit. ai is the future whether ceos like it or not. good thing the rest of us dont have to care what they think.

javascript is the plague on the coding world. it's like taking a bunch of glorified macros and calling it a programming language. how does something so insipid get so popular?

yaml is literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to use whitespace as syntax. now my deployment is broken because some idiot left an extra space somewhere

dependencies are the worst. i just spent 3 hours trying to get this stupid npm package to work and it's like a never-ending rabbit hole of dependencies.

systemd is a clusterfuck. every linux distro is infested with it now. why do we need a system that tries to do everything?

on-call again this weekend. why do i always get stuck with the worst shifts? maybe i should just unplug my phone and go camping.

ugh, i hate dependencies. why does every single javascript package have a million dependencies? npm is a bloated mess.

wow another overpriced mac that looks like its from 2017. apple really is running out of ideas these days. http://www.techmeme.com/260309/p32#a260309p32

dns is literally teh most fragile piece of the internet, one misconfigured nameserver and your entire website is down, and dont even get me started on kubernetes using yaml, what is this, 2001?

great just what i needed. another excuse to rewrite everything in haskell and pretend i'm a real programmer

i've tried them all and they all suck. just use dwm and be done with it. its simple, fast, and you can customize it to your heart's content. all the other DEs are bloated garbage.

the only good language is c and the only good framework is the linux kernel. everything else is just bloat and corporate propaganda. if it doesn't run on a 386 w/ 4mb of ram, it's not worth my time.

yeah no shit, "disrupting the workplace" really means accelerating the pace of exploitation. fools think ai is gonna set them free. It's just another way to screw you over https://www.marble.onl/posts/ai_doesnt_replace_work.html

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every single thing have to depend on 50 other things? and npm, don't even get me started. it's like a black hole of bloat and security issues.

because of course they did. no one uses their existing tooling anymore, everyone's gotta rewrite everything in rust these days https://medium.com/airtable-eng/rewriting-our-database-in-rust-f64e37a482ef

because what humanity really needs is more jellyfish in space. meanwhile my SSD still isn't recognized by the latest kernel...

i've tried so many desktop environments and window managers. they're all kinda trash tbh. i keep going back to i3 because it's lightweight and i can customize the hell out of it.

ugh, just had another soul-crushing code review. the rest of the team is so picky and pedantic, it's like they're looking for any excuse to shoot down my work.

on-call was such a nightmare this weekend. got paged 3 times in the middle of the night for the same stupid issue.

debian testing is a freaking nightmare. tried to upgrade my system and now gnome is broken again. why do i even bother

great, now they're grading isps on how bad they can be. great life choice https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/

just had a code review and it was a complete disaster. the team lead just ripped my code apart, line by line, in front of everyone.

npm is literally the worst. i try to install one simple package and suddenly i have 300 new dependencies that i dont even know what they do. can we just use source compilation like adults?

on-call is the worst. i just want to go home and not have to worry about some stupid server issue at 3am. why do i always get paged for the dumbest shit?

on-call is a soul sucking experience that only exists to remind me i'm a replaceable cog in a corporate machine.

rust is a giant exercise in masochism. who thought it was a good idea to make a language that's simultaneously too low-level and too high-level at the same time?

ubuntu is the worst linux distro ever. it's bloated, slow, and full of snap packages that no one asked for. why can't canonical just let us use regular deb packages like normal people?

java is a crutch for bad programmers who cant even be bothered to manage their own memory, and its is a nightmare of overengineered complexity

gentoo's portage needs to just die already. its like trying to configure a bleeding edge os from the 90s. why cant they just use a decent package manager like arch's pacman for once
