I put on my robe and wizard hat

Reason #1 (or #2) why I will not vote for him. Never forget, once he was in power he suddenly decided FPTP was just dandy.

(#2 is his other broken promise, to re-examine CSIS/CSE surveillance overreaches…)

No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p

Both have been a blight on software development for decades.

Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?

Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)

Heh, ‘garbage language’ or ‘garbage-collected language’? Until Go I considered the two to be the same :)

But yeah… the tooling is a strong point IMO.

(Package management went downhill once the whole GOPROXY thing was introduced. When ‘go get’ was the simplest way to fetch packages, things were great IMHO … but I’m not doing big enterprise-y stuff so maybe my view is too narrow as to the issues of ‘vendoring’, version management etc.)

Concluding paragraphs are a thinly veiled bash at Golang and its creators. Whatever. I like Go. I like C. I like lots of other languages, for different reasons. Haven’t learned Rust yet, but am already tired of the ivory-tower attitude of its proponents.

I feel personally attacked :p

Oh I hadn’t thought of how I’d installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install – no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I’ve never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

I’m waiting to see Youtube block me using Vivaldi w/uBlock Origin on Linux so far. It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Vivaldi’s Chrome-based, so I would presume the same tricks to detect uBlock Origin on Chrome itself would work, or is Vivaldi doing something sneaky?

I have no problem jumping to Firefox the moment they do it – I just haven’t had an issue yet. I should add I’m in Canada, perhaps that is a factor.

I sincerely hope it turns out to be the case. I don’t pretend I haven’t torn out my hair on multiple occasions fighting with xorg.conf… that’s for sure.

Just being provocative for the lulz on a memepost, mostly :)

:) I’ll try it again, promise. I just didn’t have a good experience around two years ago. I do hear it’s much better now.

I’ll confess I’ve avoided systemd to this day however. Devuan/Funtoo are fine, and I don’t miss any of the supposed improvements systemd brings. So I’ll probably be rocking Wayland/open-rc or Wayland/sysv-init until I drop dead.

I’m starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.

Mod me down, don’t care.

Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p

I don’t troll often, but when I do… it’s about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.

Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won’t give a damn what system I’m using.

Dark room, volume max, Phantom Slayer

Too many legs and arms :p

What country are you in? I wonder if they’re rolling it out to smaller markets to see how much backlash they get.

Time to get a federated video hosting service scaled up ASAP. But who could afford the bandwidth and storage? We need a stable torrent-based streaming solution I suppose.

I sincerely hope you’re right :)

Haha I have read about the ways to defeat the bogus Win11 CPU checks. A fake check to enforce the upgrade treadmill!

I hope you’re right. But the only reason it hasn’t gone as far as it has it because everyone watches them and pushes back. I remember the ARM-based Windows laptops they tried pushing, which had fully-locked bootloaders (WinRT?) That’s their endgame…
