the optimal time for me to wake up is at 9am, going to bed between 2 or 3am. anything else and i either lie in bed wide awake or feel shitty all morning..

i wasn't criticizing professional software but the "enterprisy" stuff where buzzwords are more valuable than the code!

SQLite is an example for good professional software. they probably have the biggest set of tests for any software in existence.

while not having as extensive tests, the linux kernel too is pretty amazing. i think i really never encountered a situation where installing a newer kernel broke things for me.

the development process of TCL also seems to be pretty sane, judging from their mailing list.

considering lennys software: pulseaudio kind-of works now after other people took maintenance of it :P

at least there is a growing number of distributions without all this stuff! :)

@trinsec they are fighting an uphill battle, as every antifeature needs to be removed by them. also regrettably not really open source (i don't think they do shady things though).

🇩🇪 Meiner Meinung nach spiegeln diese Fälle im Sport nur einen winzigen Ausschnitt des eigentlichen Problems wieder. Diese Fälle werden bekannt, weil die Sportler bekannt sind. Ein großer Teil der Betroffenen stehen nicht in der Öffentlichkeit und werden nicht bekant.

Hier gibt es einen Telegram-Kanal "Herzstillstände im Sport"

"Die Zahl der Menschen, die mit Herzproblemen beim Sport kollabieren und oft versterben, explodiert im Jahr der sogenannten Covid-Impfungen! Eine Auswahl von Zeitungsmeldungen zur Dokumentation dieser weitgehend verschwiegenen Tragödie."

🇺🇸 In my opinion, these cases in sports reflect only a tiny part of the real problem. These cases become known because the athletes are known. A large proportion of those affected are not in the public eye and do not become known.

Here is a Telegram channel "cardiac arrests in sports"
https://t.me/s/CardiacArrestSports

"The number of people who collapse and often die with heart problems in sports explodes in the year of the so-called Covid vaccinations! A selection of newspaper stories documenting this largely silent tragedy."

- chrome blocking view-source
- edge doing edge things
- firefox getting shittier the minute

maybe i should really try to not use the web except for when it isn't possible otherwise, like for banking. time to set up a gopherhole?

Seriously, the Chrome team just landed a patch that lets sites block "View Source" _right in the middle_ of the Chrome Dev Summit.

@watson wait, is that "covid" in part blacked out because twitter employs text recognition and you get a "cOviD fAkE nEWs" warning banner if "covid" is detected? oO

> it turns open source into just another dull stiff corporate edition that dictates the rules to everyone. and this is utterly wrong.

this accurately describes a majority of popular open source software now. everything has to be "professional", where professional isn't simplicity and functionality, but how many enterprisy things you can integrate. "build pipelines", "testing frameworks", "vulnerability checkers", "containerization", ad nauseam.

if the software wasn't so complicated that no one understands what is happening anymore, one wouldn't need these things. redhat actively tries to make linux as complicated as possible because it's a sure-fire way to increase sales.

the worst thing is that a mainstream lennux distribution with systemd and other abominations is usually less functional than SuSE 9.0 for which i recently found the install CDs in an old box. everything which _really_ is better is following the unix philosophy of doing one thing only, like new audio and video codecs. also, the software which existed back then still works great! FVWM? still working! mplayer? still working! vim? still working! bash? still working? GNU coreutils? still working!

pulseaudio barely works. everytime i interact with systemd, somethings broken. containerized apps are _at best_ barely working and at worst containing malware. that there is server software which is only able to run in a hand-crafted docker container is a disgrace to the whole profession.

@iron_bug I honestly don't like some changes that Red Hay are trying to make and they are getting successful.

I am getting quite paranoic because the only OS which does not distribute spyware crap by default is GNU/Linux and I think the first "legal spyware" will come in the hand of systemd and/or flatpak.

I think it always be better to have different paradigms and not a only one. The one which RH wants to "impose".

@jrballesteros05 I agree that RedRat is pure evil and what they do now is copro-rat-izing the open source. they try to make it all dependent on their solutions. nothing is worse and more dangerous for the community than enterprise monstrosity in open source.
but the problem is not just interfaces (although I must note that Gnome intentionally did this to make everything depend on its awful DE). the problem is the endless "updating itch" as well. there're two kinds of software: the one that works and the one that doesn't. if a program works fine, performs all needed tasks, it's optimized and well tested, it does not need constant "development" on itself. stable good things just work. but nowadays we see the poisonous "scrum" rot that ruins the normal development, in which the first stage is thinking, research and architecture planning and only then writing code, tests and debug come. this perverted way of writing software implies constant fucking up around the code and the code is actually never ready and working. it's always in the process of adding some senseless whistles and bells that make the code more clumsy and error prone, but don't add anything useful to user experience and performance, as a fact. this perpetual useless complication of code leads to bloatware as it is. and we see it everywhere. when the motive for development is not the finished working software piece that delivers solid and stable set of features for user, but constant meaningless rewriting of senseless features for the sake of rewriting itself - this is a serious problem.
