  • I have a singular criticsm towards Linux

  • It's a fun experiment, and a good way to keep alternative pathways maintained and vetted.

    Things like Void and Alpine are also great when it comes to containerization when you need a super small build, so they have utility.

    I don't really think about my init system that much until I need to, and have never had any issues with systemd, so I'm agnostic on the whole thing lol

  • Is it just because they use musl instead of glibc?

  • Doesn't every distro have systemd support, it's just that most ship with it and some don't?

  • sometimes it's a flippant name for quick throwaway program that then somehow becomes major infrastructure but it's too late to change it now.

    That's 99% of it. Naming things suck, and as soon as you share it and people start using it you can't change the name.

    I feel like around the late 2010s we started getting more "serious" names for things. I do always love the packageN scheme though. Especially when there's like no historical record or real usage of versions 1-(N-1) lol

    Python is littered with numbered packages that don't have any maintained or distributed precursors anymore, but they're forever urllib3, jinja2 or httplib2.

  • Tech CEOs are apparently suffering from AI psychosis

    Jump

  • That's fair, having a bunch of individual atomic features that you get around to eventually is better than full slop merging by far.

    You have to stay in the loop or you'll get lost

  • You have to give it clear direction on what to do, set up tests, review the code. In general, I find it's incredibly useful for figuring out a lot of the boilerplate, and figuring out things like APIs.

    This is something I still like to do by hand. Especially when I'm using a new API. That stage of reading and understanding the API docs and finding undocumented issues (there's always tons) is important. I'll usually end up wrapping the API I'm interacting with in my own that behaves the way I expect for what I'm doing then use that.

    I tried the LLM stuff a while ago and it just really rapidly devolved into my having no idea what was actually happening.

  • NC Republicans Propose Letting Anyone Use Deadly Force Against Women Who Have Abortions Under New Bill

    Jump

  • Also Roy Cooper stopped being the Governor in January 2025. The current Governor is Josh Stein.

    My bad, they're so indistinguishable that I forgot.

    This is also definitely terrible, but NC/SC Republicans have always been a totally different breed. NC in particular has some really virulent Republicans due to the swing state status and ridiculous gerrymandering that gives a few religious enclaves as much power as the two largest cities combined.

    Jump

  • I know, all I'm saying is that this will be thrown out almost immediately. He's tried this before and even the Republicans laugh him out of the room.

    They will probably end up doing something, but they'll do something that's more clinical and enforceable. Something like withholding aid from women who get abortions, or criminal charges for "aiding and abetting".

  • NC Republicans Propose Letting Anyone Use Deadly Force Against Women Who Have Abortions Under New Bill

    Jump

  • NC Republicans always go sicko mode because half the shit they propose is immediately blocked by Roy Cooper.

    Edit: This dude has always been a crank and this will go nowhere. It's also total nonsense, since "using lethal force to prevent an abortion" is an abortion. And using lethal force after an abortion doesn't prevent one.

  • Hasn't node size been a marketing thing for years now?

  • I mailed them a stack of $1 bills and my account number hand written on a sticky note with no return address and they activated my service lol

    (This was like 15 years ago so YMMV)

  • Prince William shows the English peasants that he is a real working man

    Jump

  • The only charitable explanation I can think of is that he just finished setting it and they snapped the photo right as he was moving his fingers away.

  • I go on every once an a while and get sniped by those programming bait posts. It's like a place where everyone simultaneously tries to be the dumbest person possible to engagement farm, while also playing a position of authority.

    Endless AI slop too. Have ended up with some weird interactions though, like someone from the Swedish military sending me a patch request for one of my projects through DMs and some well meaning guy who wanted to know more about Python and NixOS after losing his construction job.

  • When you reply to me and call out things I'm saying that are lies, that's tantamount to genocide and you deny it.
