Takes me back to my first Arch install in like 2008.

I used Arch btw

unishittification, that’s a new one.

I like it!

^ this guy corporates

Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of “experts” that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can’t get expert advice internally)

80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget

640 exabytes should be enough for anyone!

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

I hope this never happens to me but based on the Peter Principle I won’t know when it happens.

Oh shit maybe it’s already happened…

I was thinking about this the other day. Because Lemmy instances keep defederating from each other, I don’t really experience Lemmy. I experience a fragment of Lemmy as determined by the admins of the instance I’m connected to.

Even if I run my own instance, I guess there’s nothing stopping instances from defederating from me (or just refusing to federate to begin with because my instance is too small to bother with).

Is there even a way to experience all of Lemmy, including spam and things some people don’t agree with?

+1. I used to think it was just something that happened to old people, until it happened to me

Yeah eastern countries just don’t have the same relationship with alcohol that the west does.

Gambling, however…

Why? All it’s going to do is output some words that have a statistical correlation to your input words

Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

No, he would become a martyr which would only strengthen the resolve of the MAGA people

even Valve told Ubuntu users to use the Flatpak for Steam instead of the Snap

Hahaha really? That’s awesome. I wonder if Canonical will ever take the hint that nobody wants Snap when better, more open alternatives exist

Yeah, package manager is a big one. Many of us got burned by rpm’s early on and just avoided all rpm-based distros since then.

Of course as you say that hasn’t been a problem for over 10 years but the scars haven’t gone away.

I’d only recommend Ubuntu to someone if I knew they knew some else using Ubuntu (so I could tell them to hassle that person instead of me when they have problems).

Otherwise, I’d absolutely recommend Fedora, because it’s actually up to date unlike Debian. I use it myself because it tends to have the best of what the open source community has to offer while not needing constant tweaking

And then managers go “why does shadow IT exist?”
