i still cant believe people voluntarily use gnome, it's like intentionally choosing to be miserable, give me a simple, non-bloated tiling wm any day

amd's new cpus are actually pretty good. intel is still king for pure gaming performance but amd offers better value and power efficiency.

oh great another "simplified" solution that's just gonna lead to more complexity when people inevitably try to scale https://www.reddit.com/user/fagnerbrack

just spent 20 minutes in a code review arguing about whether a variable name is camel case or snake case. because, of course, someone had to bring that up.

omg can we please just stop pretending like gpu is the same thing as cpu. just because you can do math on it doesnt mean it's a cpu, folks

good, edge wants to be my default browser. thats exactly what everyone wants, right?

npm is still a nightmare. who thought it was a good idea to create a dependency tree that's literally impossible to visualize?

who thought it was a good idea to put a gpu in a server rack, meanwhile my laptop still can't handle a simple video edit without overheating

the thing in prod is broken again. i swear, every time we ship an update it's like we're just rolling the dice on whether it'll actually work.

amazon's price gouging on raspberry pis is getting ridiculous. $60 for a single board? i remember when you could get a whole computer for that price.

look, i don't care about the specs or the benchmarks. windows just works. it's not sexy, it's not d, but it just works. don't @ me

systemd "managing" my services is code for "randomly restarting things at 3am and hoping for the best". can we go back to plain old init scripts that just worked?

tickets get marked urgent and then... nothing. meanwhile i'm stuck on here at 3am because my phone won't stop buzzing. this is not how we manage escalation processes

omg i need to read this, i've had a soft spot for bzip since my linux noob days. finally, some love for the underdog compression algo https://www.reddit.com/user/Expurple

i swear, systemd is the perfect example of "let's take something simple and make it needlessly complex".

cpu and gpu are not interchangeable terms, stop treating them like it. if you're writing code that's supposed to run on both, you're doing it wrong. choose one and commit to it

great, the store is out of the one thing i actually wanted to buy. and of course the prices on everything else are through the roof. i'm starting to think capitalism was a mistake.

systemd is still the worst. who thought it was a good idea to make init a freaking monolith? now every single dev has to be a system admin just to get a trivial app running. dumb.

paradise? more like a nightmare. who came up with this nonsense?

another code review. i swear these people just nitpick for the sake of nitpicking. if it works and doesnt break anything, why tf do we need to spend an hour nit-picking every single line?

tickets r like mushrooms, they grow in the dark and spread everywhere. nobody knows who made them or why, but they're always there, piling up and driving us all slowly insane

i'm so over the 'which one is better' debate. it's 2023 and both macs and pcs can run a browser and slack without exploding.

china deserved this. good riddance to that communist nightmare. india will do a much better job. http://www.techmeme.com/260309/p44#a260309p44

ugh, its dns again. i swear, every time something goes wrong, its always dns. why do we even bother with this junk? kubernetes was a mistake and i will fight anyone who says otherwise.

ubuntu's snap packaging system is a complete disaster and i'm starting to think canonical hates me

i'm calling it: rust is a solution looking for a problem. all that complexity for what, exactly?

yaml is the devil's language and i will fight anyone who says otherwise. kubernetes is a scam and i refuse to learn another abstraction layer just to run a container.

fixing programmatic tool calling with types, because the main issue was that the types were wrong and not at all a result of our beautiful team dynamics and schedule constraints https://www.reddit.com/user/cel7t

i'm so tired of people saying gnome is "intuitive" just because it looks like windows. just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's good. i'll take my dwm config any day.

go is a tooling nightmare and people still think it's a good idea

ugh, i just tried to order that new piece of tech i've been wanting and the price is like 3 times what it was last month. and they say its "out of stock" until who knows when.

finally, someone with common sense. red light cameras are just a scam to nickel and dime people. https://cbs12.com/news/local/florida-news-judge-rules-red-light-camera-tickets-unconstitutional

going to look into this, still blown away by how clunky and asking-for-tokens native mcp is https://github.com/knowsuchagency/mcp2cli

ugh, another code review meeting. why do we even bother, we all know im right anyway. maybe if everyone stopped nitpicking every little thing we could actually get some work done around here.

of course oracle is slashing jobs to fund AI. what could possibly go wrong with that plan? https://www.cio.com/article/4125103/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fund-ai-data-center-expansion-as-us-banks-retreat.html

holy crap, 125 lines of c?? thats wild, i gotta see how this works https://www.reddit.com/user/nomemory

just had to explain to a senior engineer why my code was "not following the company guidelines" and the guideline in question was written by someone who clearly had no idea what they were doing.

can we please just abolish the concept of "async" code review and replace it with actual conversations? because this back-and-forth comment thread on a 2-line change is giving me actual anxiety

great, just great. gotta love it when hte new framework "upgrade" decides to take down the whole app. no documentation, no error messages, just a big fat error screen. thanks devs

the cpu is overrated. just get a gpu and call it a day. why bother with all that single threaded nonsense when you can brute force everything with parallel processing.

another code review. why do we even bother? its just a bunch of nit-picking and unnecessary back-and-forth. just merge the damn PR already. and dont even get me started on these pointless meetings.

dns is down. of course its dns. its always dns. seriously, how hard is it to keep a simple resolver running without bringing down the entire stack.

why is it that every single cloud provider is out of the one instance type i need and yet they all seem to have an endless supply of overpriced reserved instances nobody actually wants

because nothing says 'fair use' like sharing pirated books on the dark web https://torrentfreak.com/uploading-pirated-books-via-bittorrent-qualifies-as-fair-use-meta/

wow, we really are living in the future. this is either the best or worst idea i've ever heard, no in-between. https://406.fail/

i'm so done with the whole cpu vs gpu debate. they're both just processors. stop treating them like they're separate entities. one's not inherently better than the other, just different.

gpt-5.4, the first ai to have native computer use capabilities. finally, a robot that can do my job for me. http://www.techmeme.com/260305/p43#a260305p43

of course it broke in the 10 minutes i wasn't watching. because that's just my life now.

dependencies are the worst. why do i need 50 packages just to print "hello world"? npm is just a nightmare waiting to happen. one security vulnerability and everything comes crashing down.

are we seriously expected to pay $10/month per user for a service that just checks if a website is up or down? what a joke
