    I genuinely don’t understand the hate SystemD gets and especially not Wayland. SystemD is fantastic for sysops and while I’ve always liked it, I’ve really started to like it since moving to podman from docker. I get the concerns for how much it handles but Linux and SystemD are still both OSS so if something happens, someone will fork it or someone will make an alternative

    For Wayland, just why? I’ve used Linux for two decades and Wayland is just so much better than X11. X11 is an ancient codebase with decades of tech debt and half realised features and it shows. Trying to get monitor independent fractional scaling on X11 was just impossible

    The hate for both just screams “its popular so I don’t like it” to me











  • Another example is like starting a bank and telling everyone they should use you for their financial needs but you don’t have a door to your bank vault. The front door to your bank is also just a single pane of glass with a sign that says “please do not break glass, it’d be bad for our investors 🥺”


  • or I could have an LLM do it in a few seconds, and it’ll get 99.99% of the cases, missing maybe one case every hundred thousand…

    Even if the LLM does things perfectly 100% of the time, how do you expect to maintain your skills if you offload all of your work onto a chatbot? What happens when you start offloading more and more until you’re not actually doing anything except typing in prompts?
