That ol’ n’ moist

These guys are living in the glory. I bet they don’t even know all the info they need is just in a fucking config file, in a damn manual somewhere or in the stupid docs that people doesn’t seem to bother reading anymore, or writing some decent ones.

shlubs who barely passed undergrad data structures and algorithms courses.

And that’s the problem with most people getting into IT nowadays, they expect to go to an algorithms course or a development bootcamp and come out knowing everything to make a 6 figure salary, but don’t even try to learn what a software dependency is or how to fix their dev environment and expect GPT to shlub it up, when in reality many of these old school software programmers were self learning nerds who were just trying to solve (a) problem, and spent hours doing so.

Not to mention the sense of pioneering something.

something you’re happy to spend 80+ hours a week on, especially when basic needs are taken care of.

Vs writing the same thing that already exists with a different front end, a bunch of times with different examples, because somebody who has more resources (not just more cash, but also time) decides visuals are more important than real functionality.

Part of the reason I don’t like ‘coding’ or developing software its because is so dreadful and feels overly stupid when an open source alternative works better than what you’d be able to make before the deadline.

I just rather be a CTO / SysAdmin and live happier.

Programmers of the past didn’t have to work 2 jobs to be able to buy a house and live comfortably, less alone spend most of their paycheck on inflated prices for gas, food, services, etc. But hey we got AI and Amazon Prime now.

As far as I’ve noticed for as long as I’ve been alive, a corporation can get away with things such as:

• harm their costumers
• kill their employees
• tax evasion
• commit fraud
• bribery (lobbying)

And that is just from ths tip of my tongue, but for some reason laundering money is a big no no. I think only the alphabet bodies can get away with that.

Also that commercial real estate is more important than residential estate.

I’m Gen Z and did all that shit. I still remember the VG extraction methods to make eLiquid with THC from YouTube. And then kingpens and brass knuckles and others became accessible. The good old times …

I have a X220 and a T14 Gen 2 (11th gen Intel core) and the quality is night and day. Also they introduced cheaper models like an E series, the L series and those have even worse materials or QC.

Shit man, I’m sure there’s an xkcd for that.

Generate localization strings in all requested languages with the “translate” macro without proof checking because you don’t speak Finnish or Japanese?

I never said it was special, but I’m glad you searched bud!

Is Linux, called linux-zen on some package managers.

But is different than the LTS Kernel, which is also different than the pre-release kernels, which are also different than the stable kernels.

So idk, “what is” Linux and what’s not, according to you.

Maybe you thinking of GNU Hurd? Or the Darwin kernel?

The Linux kernel remains pretty much the same

So you’ve never tried the Zen Kernel?

I had the same experience when I watched the Pretzels episode with Fat Tony from the mafia as a kid, but in Spanish. They called them pretzels.

In the Mexican Spanish dub the Onigiris became sandwiches lmao.

Damn I remember hearing this a lot like 15 years ago.

¿No nos volvería lentos y flojonazos? (not a real word if you translate, more like slang meaning to be really lazy)

So that’s why I recovered 4GB of pictures out of a 1GB card from my dad’s camera huh? TIL
