@thor i think most guys are searching for wife material, not "hot bitches".. i'd not consider myself conservative, but virtues are a thing.

@thor well.. it's educational. could've done without the ice bag *brr :D

i like nrks stuff, especially the slow-tv stuff like trainrides and store elkvandringen. nobody else has the guts to do this kind of stuff :)

Tinfoil time but I don't even think the industry is that short on programmers anyway if they're being this picky. It's probably just Google meme'ing people into the whole "learn to code" thing to oversaturate the industry. Then their labor is worth less and programmers are easily replacable if they do bad things like try to unionize or refuse to make drone strike AI

snobby assholes in open source 

some people shit on shortcomings, not realizing that the whole distribution is the work of almost only patrick volkerding plus a handful of people contributing in their spare time. the biggest snobs are in the openbsd & arch communities from my experience. not everyone of course, and arch & openbsd are fine projects.

slackware sure has some rough edges, but is simple enough if you don't need someone holding your hand and gets security fixes for an amazing long time by todays standards. slackware 14.0, released 2012 still gets fixes.

most other things have big sponsors behind them.

openbsd had >100k in 2019, arch has also multiple companies sponsoring.

patrick gets ~$2000 monthly from people on patreon.

"I will slaughter you" - some emails penetrate even my thick open source maintainer skin. Like this threat.

ffs i get fscking frustrated by looking at those 1000x people putting out project after project while mine tend to lie around for years and don't interest anyone if they are finished.

even while i know that most of that stuff is just glueing together libraries and "move-fast-and-break-things-yolo", it somehow gets to me.

maybe i should just get rid of computers and go full time gardening?

@marcuse1w i have fiddled with an ip link via lora, ping times were 1500 ms though 😁

i think it would be interesting to have a long range ip network for "cheap" protocols like mail etc.

@GeoffWozniak except plants, they are good for removing co2.

if only they wouldn't be cut down everywhere ✨

@cadadr@mastodon.sdf.org it's mostly some gui programs where i've had that ., problem, i remember that some of the finance programs were a pain to type things into as that was wrong and no way to override without changing the global settings..

@cadadr@mastodon.sdf.org english as language as most translations are bad, other locale settings are german, especially date and time stuff.

i'm kind of pissed though that every program implements number localization differently.. one has "." for decimal notation, the next uses the correct localized ",". i don't care much what is used, but that it is always different drives me insane :)

Fedi is proof that the chemicals in the water work.

@m0urs lass die blocker doch blocken? gibt genügend instanzen im fediverse die da nicht mitmachen :)
