Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

• I’ll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under “tech debt”
• please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you’re ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
• I’d like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
• Also I won’t touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it “fast” per your request and it’s so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
• I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
• It’s not “fun” to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you’ll end up with the bad ones.
• Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we’re in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer’s task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Don’t you need to declare new Balls() first? Or do you suck() Balls static?

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)

Allergic to Indices? If your database is slow just add more Indices until you have one on every column of every table! :-)

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.

I have never owned a console, but have been playing games since I was 4 (that would be 1981). Also I can’t remember paying for anything in those days :-) Everything came on cassettes and floppies.

I made some very basic text based games back then. Nothing that anyone else would ever play :-)

(Also I am a developer, but not in the FOSS sphere)

Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.

Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.

Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)

Moccamaster is the best coffee

So… tl;dw?

This is just lazy, copy pasting a link to YouTube without context? Please tell me why you shared it, what was interesting about it?

Not sure exactly how many blobs I need to install Linux on my pc. I know there’s proprietary stuff for my Nvidia card (optional) and possibly NIC, but most hardware is supported by the kernel these days?

Also, the play store. That’s my biggest issue with Android. Everything depends on the store.

I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it’s not very useful.

The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.

I don’t have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn’t work. That has already been proven?

And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.

So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?

Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.

Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.

Thank you!

I still hate the trend of creating video’s of something that can be summarised in 2-3 lines of text. So I can ask, right?

And yes I am also a lazy mongrel. I think. What’s a mongrel? I am lazy.

Tl;dw?

I could not turn off mouse acceleration, which was a deal-breaker for me.

Actually not Wayland’s fault if I remember correctly, something about libinput changing it’s format, and my window manager wasn’t compatible with it yet. After trying for several hours I found a bug report (can’t find it right now). The Devs thought it was a minor issue, but for me it was huge so I decided I’ll wait another year.

I must say, Wayland was smoooooth, didn’t even experience X as slow until I tried Wayland.
