Lmao look at this moron

quote:

Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more than systemd itself. It shows a radical shift in thinking by the Linux community. Not necessarily a positive one, either. One that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents the flat tire, and just a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is to pander to the lowest common denominator, so be it.

truly the derrida of software for initializing processes

sometimes i think id like to use a tiling wm because i end up tiling everything in normal wms, then i go look at tiling wms and there literally isnt one that doesnt require setting up a config. why would you want some sensible default keybindings to put some windows a screen when you can learn a whole dsl and dependency ecosystem to have a clock

poettering's energies would be better spent developing an rpm and deb replacement to strongarm everyone into switching to

and have its installation processing be declarative with a fixed vocabulary that can maybe be extended over time. deb went the opposite way: debs used to have completely freeform installation shell scripts that ran as root but over time bits and pieces of these all got packaged into "debhelper" scripts and now most debs install themselves exclusively by calling a sequence of debhelper scripts from the installation script and nothing else

or something. i've never actually built a deb.

make shared library developer ppl do some semver type thing and have all these different .so builds install side-by-side. use debian's multiarch approach to handle x86 and x86_64 on the same system because that is the Correct Solution to this problem. nobody has ever explained to me why we need crazy filesystem namespacing bullshit to install /usr/lib/libdickbutt.so.1.5.3 and /usr/lib/libdickbutt.1.6.2 side-by-side (and have .1.5.3 automatically replace 1.5.2) with the package manager maintaining its own index of the available .so versions installed on the system and available in the package repository.

u can then install a package produced by upstream and if like, it says it needs shared libs X Y and Z and DBus services org.foo and org.bar then whatever distro ur running the pkg manager should be able to satisfy them. maybe even have some URLs where upstream (signed!) versions can be downloaded (and where security-patched updated binaries can also be updated as they become available)

then go through the absolutely monumental effort of making everything produce deterministic builds that have a cryptographically secure link to the Git commit used to produce each of these binaries and i'm already gettin a semi thinking about it

or, you know, do a lovely half-assed solution where you stuff a bunch of binaries that came from gently caress-knows-where into a gigantic loving tarball and sucks to be you if /usr/@SOMERUNTIMEPACKAGE-JUSTGONNASHITTHISALLOVERYOURFILESYSTEM-1.27.3.00176543-f00cface/lib64/libz.so turns out to contain a buffer overflow

have u considered...isntalling gentoo?

no, this is from long before we did PGO on Linux. it was mostly from breaking things out into more shared libraries, and sometimes from "making compilation options consistent with distro preferences". or taking out the symbol-trimming custom linker script because it interfered with their usual debug system packaging. or such.

i remember pitching my college roommate a linux distro/crazy infrastructure that did live PGO on almost everything with p2p optimization distribution, like at any given time some subset of your system packages were doing pgo based on your actual usage (with dumb stochastic bs), your results were distributed and matched with others based on system and usage profiles, so youd also be pulling new builds, verifying them and profiling them against your best all the time. i dont remember if pgo was the acronym of choice back then

i was on pills, had just taken advanced compilers, and had a bootstrap installed gentoo. a real fuckwit

linux thread, not the "hip editor right now that actually sucks and nobody will care about in a year thread". go dig up a textmate thread from 4 years ago to rehash all the reasons why ${editor_of_the_moment} will never be as glorious as emacs or vim. linux is better without sublime text.

hmmm its almost as if successful ideas of textmate carried on in sublime text, and now ones from st are influencing a new gen of middleweight editors

also st is like 6 years old now, itll prob get usurped by one of the open source clones soon but its not exactly a flash in the pan

vim is a language for interacting with editors that happens to have a reference implementation
