@bullmousse yeah, maybe that was an outlier. still to a big part (together with people here in the fediverse) saved my sanity during the totalitarian covid times here in germany. i'm kind of morally indebted for that ;)

it really is something new every month now!

The "H" in {"Fixing someone else's code"} stands for "Happiness".

_something_ is off with no agenda compared to one or two years ago, and i'm not a long time fan. then, almost everything is off and almost everyone shows signs of the emotional exhaustion playbook working.

Pickled eggs

@Moon @tyil sure, but compared to earlier times it got pretty demoralizing because everything is now compared to webshit and cargo culted stuff like clouds which largely were invented to have something to sell.

The martyr made history podcast made a LONG series about the history of palestine and israel up to 1948 (https://www.martyrmade.com/featured-podcasts/fear-loathing-in-the-new-jerusalem), but he recently also made one that's about the 1950s until the lebanon war in the 1980s. I can recommend it, everything is much worse than one can even imagine.

One thing that stood out to me was that plane hijackings were a semi-regular occurence, but nobody seems to have tried to get 'airport security' going, like we have now. I guess most users here are too young to remember flying before 9/11, but it was essentially like going to a train station.

@captainepoch @bonifartius just to clarify, the list codeberg tried to censor is also stupid. It's just a bunch of accounts on twatter who at some point either advertised or otherwise endorsed CF. I mean, whoever made that list must be massively autistic, but even this wouldn't justify removing it or taking any other action.

@newt @captainepoch at least the list has a point, in contrast with proactively deleting repositories out of the vague fear someone might sue because of a bullshit law.

hosting things is a very shit business now

It always was tbh, customers complaining all the time because they changed settings they shouldn't have and now some support employee is getting cursed at for hours.

All of IT turned to
worse shit with large investors wanting immense returns, absolutely destroying companies that were doing fine and could've ran fine for the indefinite future. All to make some exceptionally rich asshole just a tiny bit more rich, at the cost of hundreds or sometimes thousands of people just trying to do their jobs.

The longer I work as a "cloud engineer" (or developer/programmer before that), the worse I find IT as a field to have become. But I have bills to pay, so here I am. I'm genuinely curious to find out something else to do, something which I can thoroughly enjoy doing, rather than all the joy being sucked out of my work by some incompetent manager.

@tyil from what i gathered over the years, it was hard enough to get people paying for sourcehut :) i think hosting things is a very shit business now, as people expect stuff to be working flawless all the time - doesn't matter that the big hosters have more outage than most small things.
