Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
Iām not really in on distros and related drama (strong ājust fucking use Debian stableā camp), why did Red Hat get told to fuck off from the kernel?
I started a job in the last year that really forced me to play around with different distros and sometimes building them. Pretty much my entire experience is āabandon ubuntu, just use debianā and wishing other people would do the same
(Pretty much my entire reasoning is that snap fucked up my dev environment so bad I rage installed debian)
Ubuntu has been a reasonable Debian for our corporate purposes of late, and we have those vital legacy systems running on fucking 14.04 that nobody is going to pay to reimplement sanely that we are currently lining up to pay Canonical for hyperextended tick-box support while we also put them in a concrete sarcophagus with a 30km exclusion zone
but some of the snap-based distro nonsense has me worrying
the example I was thinking of was the incredibly ill-conceived rejected patchset to implement d-bus inside the kernel but I donāt think theyāve really stopped trying since then
