Ram disks!!

Same. Or Shortcut. They both are good at being useful but not being your fucking LIFE. Do the important bit and go away.

JIRA is a middle management job creation tool. Which is why it’s everywhere

Poorly behaved system monitors are as old as windowing systems in Linux.

Gkrellm on Afterstep was famous for this.

I installed Slackware from 24 floppies I downloaded from a Volkerdings personal server, because I didn’t have a CD ROM. I installed using documentation printed on a dot matrix printer that was versions out of date… It took a day to compile a kernel. I’ve had to manually patch drivers (3c509 baaabyyy).

I dreamed about a future where I never had to do that again. Arch pisses me off.

Ugh, Peter there’s unrolled loops all over the floor now… Clean up your mess…

(Calm down, I’m joking)

Let me introduce you to the concept of the Venn Diagram

Holy shit. I must be really old.

I’ll believe it what I see, as it were.

“Trust us bro” from Adobe is worth zero.

Yeah he didn’t find the right unmaintained project. There are many many many cs undergrads starting projects that will become unmaintained pretty soon.

Aww sweetie. You’re cute.

Luddites were champions of the working class and have been smeared by capitalist for over a century. I’d be proud to be called a Luddite.

(In before history nerds um, actually me: chill…I know)

Yeah. It was a controversy like 10 years ago at this point.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding… but are you saying GitHub, the corporate entity acquired by Microsoft for 7.8 billion dollars 6 years ago, is a champion of the free and open software movement and that needs some rando on the Internet to stand up for it?

People have lived through many cycles of Microsoft doing this shit. They don’t deserve defending.

GitHub adding releases was the real UX mistake.

Anything outside of code repository stuff is outside their lane.

Start a new startup or something to solve that problem. Too late now that it’s under Microsoft.
