"i love how on android i can.." "i love how iphones have this thing which.." no you don't! nobody loves that. you love using a phone??? you enjoy using a smartphone???? what the fuck is wrong with you? the device has the user interface design, personality, and overall depth of an airport information kiosk

if you ever mention that you use an android or an iphone, theres always exactly one person who replies to tell you that they're better than you because they use the other kind. it's exactly one person, just one guy, who still thinks that it's 2012, and hasn't yet been made aware that not only does it not matter, but both are utterly terrible, awful, shitty platforms, and only the most bizarre type of loser might ever be excited to have to use either of them

what's your favorite raspberry pi? please respond by saying "my favorite raspberry pi is..." and then suggest another single board computer that isn't a raspberry pi. im trying to genericize the trademark, you see

i swear everything these days is becoming increasingly "i checked the fuses, and it turns out the problem was actually the car's DHCP server was refusing to give an IP address to the left headlamp"

the linux has sturdy, well-developed climbing muscles, and a keen, hewn intellect. it knows exactly what it needs to know in order to make linux, and no more. its mating-dances are false, unconscious gestures. it is only dimly aware of its own bright plumage. within its skull there are no pictures or sounds, only configuration files, streams and pipes, package databases. server administration, software development, these are vital to its life-cycle. every few months it lays an egg: another linux

the culture of linux, and the reason it still exists, and is able to sustain itself, is that it is, basically, fully oriented around the goal of Making Linux. it lives and heals and evolves, and occasionally sprouts growths, even complete limbs, whose function appears to contribute towards making something other than linux. but these are spandrels, soon to slough off, piles of snakeskin in the rearview mirror. they were ornamental, merely a demonstration of Linux and those who Make Linux

one of the problems is like, playing audio is quite boring, something for people in cubicles to grind away at for a few months in 1994, and then occasionally tweak every few years. but when you're making an audio system in your free time, to contribute to the community, for the good of Free Software? you truly must be a visionary. and with a giant pulsating brain like that, you're not going to make a 'thing that plays audio'. you're going to make The Emacs of Routing & Sample-Rate Configuration

you know when you try to read text while dreaming, and it keeps changing? every time i look away for a few minutes, the linux ecosystem has procedurally generated a whole brand new stack of mysterious projects with exciting names, that claim, breathlessly and enthusiastically, to finally be able to accomplish the task of competently implementing extremely basic OS features

maybe i'm just misinformed, because every distro i have installed has a seemingly completely different audio setup with some new silly name, and all of them have about the same number of weird problems, so i've never really learnt what any of them are since i don't really have any kind of respect for any of them. but that's genuinely what it seemed like it wanted to do. i can't imagine what fucked up problems it would've caused if i'd typed 'y'

classic linux thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, is i was looking up what music players had good visualisations, like the milkdrop kind we all remember. one was a standalone app that could respond to any audio on the computer. cool! so i hit up my package manager. but i noticed something. the installation seemed to require the removal of a few packages and replacement with some other ones. it wanted to remove the audio subsystem on my computer?? and change it to a different one?

in america all the traditional foods are called like hogbread and eggcorn. in america i imagine when youre a kid youre always standing around waiting for the blue angels to do a live-fire display with real bunker-busters and your american-style dad is like like "slup your eggcorn billy" and someones selling hot hogbread out the engine block of a 1938 chrysler

framework? more like Not Gonna Work unless it has a Trackpoint. MNT? more like.. Might Need Trackpoint

2024-05-29 19:52:20

do you reckon i could get @npub15f7…m7wr to put trackpoint on their laptops by sending them a helpful reminder on here once a day, every day? maybe twice a day? what times would be good

i think when the usa collapses the process will look a lot less like rome and more like what happened with blockbuster video

to effectively compete with microsoft, linux needs to up its AI game. heres some ideas:
- new default shell with "did you mean" autocomplete recommendation carousel showing adverts for popular pay-to-win games using sixel graphics
- kernel continuously runs `strings` on /dev/mem and pipes the result up to the chatgpt 32-gigatoken-context model
- drop support for opengl/vulkan and replace with dall-e for increased realism
- tux now lives on your desktop and can joke, write rap lyrics, and flirt

i think the major problem affecting software development today is 'poor taste'

in my experience of university there was two types of professor
type 1 professor
- all their materials suspiciously typeset in Computer Modern or Computer Modern Sans
- usually a fucking asshole
- know the answer to any question but won't tell you it
- functional programming
- very unhelpful
- gigantic brain
type 2 professor
- all their materials suspiciously typeset in Calibri
- extremely nice, great person to be around
- just show up at their office anytime to hang out
- don't know anything

this ones got a trendy cardboard/gold colour scheme. it’s called Super Laptop (TM) (tm) (r) (r) (C) and seems to be the result of a collaboration between me, JVC, and The Pokemon Company
